Man, talking about being in the right place at the right time! I went to the AT&T store over at Perimeter at 5:55 and got in to get a phone at 7:30. One guy offered the guy in front of me $75 for his spot (he took it).

I’m activating it as we speak- but for the moment Anita snapped some photos…More to come, I swear!

Well..today is in face July 29- and I think everyone in the world knows what that means.

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time…but, after reading several reviews I’m on the fence. What if the battery gives out? Do I want to shell out a minimum of $60 a month for 450 minutes (+ unlimited data)? Will this keep me from by the sure to be announced new ipod with fancy touch-screen controls?

I can’t stand it…to see everyone with their fancy new phones and I’m using this old clunker of a Nokia (from 2003- don’t even get me started on what happened with my Motorola V610).

I mean- people are dying in Iraq, there’s a presidential campaign ramping up and here we are swirling around a product that’s supposedly going to revolutionize the cell phone industry.

My friends and family know I am a gadget freak..and, they usually (if not always) allow me to give in to my wants. I just wonder if I’m being sucked into the hype, being shallow, or if I truly do need this new phone…

 ”That phone is off the chain,” said Lewis, a 45-year-old who lives in Stone Mountain and works at a barber shop on Auburn Avenue in downtown Atlanta. She doesn’t own a computer but considers herself a gadget freak.”

Woman, you can’t activate the damn thing without a computer!? What songs are you going to put on there! What photos! AHHH!!!!

I’ve been working on a site for my cousin Reed for a little while now. Actually, I had it slated to be done sometime back but some other projects popped up and delayed it. Continue reading →

Steve Jobs just announced at the 2007 World Wide Developers Conference that the traditionally Mac native web Browser “Safari” will be available on Windows.  Bill just cringed. Continue reading →

Later this month I envision Barry (my MINI) turning over 25,000 miles. While that’s not even a 6th of some others  it’s still quite a feat for me. I took possession of the car on September 23rd, 2005 - which averages to about 1200 miles a month (which is a little high for anyone in my family).

 So, I was thinking… Continue reading →
