today the ceo of hewlet-packard made some shocking statements about the web os smartphone operating system and the future of webos-based smartphones. see his statements reported on precentral.net here along with the hundreds of comments from the community. I found this this link to send a message to mr. hurd and sent him the following message, “will you please clarify your plans for palm, webos, and smartphones. based on the comments that you made at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Technology conference, you either just destroyed all of our hopes for the future of an awesome os for smartphones, or you sadly forgot to tell us everything and left us more confused about the future of webos based smartphones. please clarify on twitter via @hpnews, @palm, and on facebook, and maybe with an open letter to all of the palm fans and supporters. thanks!” He needs to quickly clarify and disclose to us webos supporters and developers what direction he is setting for the future of webos on smartphones.
all of the techie palm pre hype is in high gear as i enter the last week of waiting for the thing to be launched. i am really, really hoping that everything goes as planned and i get one. i am in 2 contests at could land me one for free, the sweepstakes at sprint.comis over and i was not notified, so i am down to one chance through the SprintUsers website. if that chance bombs, i got someone on the inside hooking me up, hopefully, assuming there is stock available. i have not been excited about a phone in so long. well that is not true. i was excited by the htc touch pro when it showed up on at&t and sprint, but as a vzw guy, i had to wait for months before it was finaly released, and it sucked for the price i had to pay.
so now the pre will be here in 6 days and i might actually have my hands on one in 8 or 9. that will be pretty cool! let’s hope it doesn’t let me down.
this video is a pretty funny look at the one investor in the palm company that has made this ride so fun and new palm employee (from apple) behind making this device way cooler then ever possible.
i have been procrastinating getting a toilet tank lid for my upstairs bathroom for 5 months now. this morning seems like the most appropriate time to do it. i was dreading the search, the price, the shipping and i am still kinda mad at myself for dropping the old one in anger and shattering it into pieces.
so how do you find a freekin toilet tank lid? ya google “universal rundle toilet tank lid”, of course! and what is the first link in the results, cheaptoilettanklids.com. can you believe it, crazy. looks like the guy is selling them outta the back of his station wagon, but the price is $50 vs. most new ones that are $150! i think i’ll try this guy first, heck he takes paypal!
this site is great. i spent the better part of an hour perusing the pages instead of being productive and working on work (at home) or working on upgrading the multiple blogs and websites that i manage/ it was a breath of fresh air. now, unfortunately, i am getting sleepy and must go to bed without having gotten much accomplished. oh well, at least my feet were up and i was single-tasking!!
just a quick shout out to all my x-co-workers from the old place, that still curse my name whenever something goes wrong. of all days, today is the one that you can’t blame me for anything. most likely, it’s the fault of the larget hadron collider. i never factored the lhc into any of my scripts or manual processes that i entrusted to this brilliant bunch. good luck my friends!!
wahoo! lookie here! i got lighbox to work with this site. i guess it makes sense to have the most up-to-date version of the theme in order to get the newer cuilerstuff working. wonder what it looks like on my pocket pc’s browser or in the news reader? better go check that all out soon. hmmm, 2:50am, prolly should go get some sleep now… yikes, tomorrow is going to hurt!
aaaggghhh! my mobile is starting to die, after 2.5 yrs of love and happiness and iphoneless joy. just yesterday, while exercising, the bluetooth suddenly stopped working. ever since, i have not been able to get the mic and receiver to work. I figured it was the cuil new throttle launcher software that I was trying out. nope. uninstalled it and still no talking. maybe I just needed a soft reset (this thing is windows, you know). nope. still no talking. ok. let’s get crazy. backup everything and hard reset. waaaa! still no luck. although the phone rings, no other sound works and the thing won’t even go into speakerphone mode.
crap! i’m not ready for a new phone!
i am holding out for the touch pro. look at these reviews:
i am now halfway through my 4 hr driving class. i have the same teacher as the last 3 times, tommy-o! he is getting old. his voice is really starting to fail him. poor guy. looks like this is all he’s got left…
2 funny stories so far. first, tommy-o got a ticket on father’s day for going through a yellow in canada. yup, that’s against the law, and he knew it, too. tough break. second , this other dude’s story is that he doesn’t know what he got ticketed for. he blacked out after causing some sort of accident where 2 other cars crashed into him. good thing for him, he was the only one that got hurt, blacked out and spent a day or 2 in the hospital, his car was totaled, so he got cash to put towards a down payment! win-win! just had to take the class. crazy!
i am in the early stages of switching to a new look and feel. i hope at least one of you like it. i have only done basic customizations for now, but will be making more changes over the next week, while i am in toronto at training for work.
