Ripping up the grassy knoll...
The reason I walking today. This used to be where a lot of people parked and now parking spots are hard to come by. If you look way the back to the left you might see my jetta parked right at the building. I got in the car to run some erronds during lunch but thought better of it...

The Next in line...
My love of electronic things that could assist and entertain in everyday life started some time back. I remember buying my dad a odd address book that you could place the phone on. It would send dial tones into the phone and call the person you choose. i dont really know if it ever worked. Maybe he will be able to comment on that. The first thing I remember having was one of those digital address books that looked like a calculator. I could sink that to the PC and I had that thing pushed to what it could do. Next my eye was on a a PDA of some sort. People were starting to get cell phones at this time. I scored a Handspring visor. It was almost identical to the first Palm Pilots. I had that for almost 5 years and again pushed it to the edge of what it could do and carried it everywhere. I studied my next target carfully. I wasn't ready for a real phone yet. I didnt want to carry an MP3 player, a camera, and a pda of some sort. So I found the perfect combo in the HP iPAQ rx3715. It goes online, takes picture, plays music and videos, connects to an external GPS, made calls via Skype, worked as a tv remote. So many things it did and still can do today. Love that iPAQ. I decided that I wouldnt get something new until the perfect device came along and I was ready to dive into the cell phone world. The regular PDA phones that were our there were nice but not the device I was looking for. Then the iPhone came to be. Thats more like it wow, what an incrediable device. It was way to expensive when it came out $600 plus and i wasnt ready for the cell phone plan... Then slowley word leaked out about a phone being made by google. This was cool since I have all of my online stuff through google. So i waited through all of the iPhone hupla. I kept digging and reading what I could about the Google Phone. This is the one I would shoot for. The OS got a name... Android. Then the phone got a name the Dream by HTC. What a great name. Then almost 3 years later the phone came out as the T-Mobile G1. It didnt get the fanfair that the iPhone got but it is non-the less as good as that phone, if not better. I waited in the wings and then made the move... I'm now lovin the HTC G1. Always online, GPS, instant google account connectivity, camera, blue tooth and all kinds of goodies. I should get some more picture posts going soon too...
