Phone + Toilet = Bad News

Motorola RAZR v3Well if you haven’t heard already I tanked my old Nokia phone in the toilet last week. It didn’t rattle or roll or bounce. It tanked straight into the down spout. While the toilet was flushing no less. I thought it was a goner. Luckily it back-washed and I was able to retrieve it. No it didn’t work (only lit up the backlight) and yes I was able to retrieve the contacts (with my nokia serial data cable and gnokii). So I decided to get a decent phone this time around (with phone insurance just in case). I decided on the Motorola RAZR V3 after looking at all the other options Cingular had at the store and online. It’s a pretty sweet phone with alot of goodies: camera, mp3 ringtones, bluetooth, usb port, etc.

I’m also trying out a new wordpress plugin called wp-mms which will allow me to text message photos. I’ll be posting under the moblog category so you’ll see interesting pictures and the like popping up from time to time.


mtink: Status Monitor for EPSON inkjet printers

mtinkI found a great little print monitor for linux called mtink. It works great for my Epson Stylus Photo 825 printer when hooked up via usb and I can reset, clean, and nozzle check the printer all from this little program. If using my particular printer you will need to select the Stylus Photo printer as the option because the 825 is not specifically handled, but most other models are.

Free iPod: Almost There!

Free iPodSo I now have 4 referrals of the 5 total needed to get a free 30GB black video iPod. I am SOOOOOO close I can smell it. Most of the referrals I have gotten were ones that bought ink for around $30. I have gotten the free ink options a couple of times and it works great on my printers.

Thinkpads Get a Dual Core Upgrade!

So I’m still looking into getting a new laptop sometime and they just keep getting better. These new Thinkpad notebooks look sweet. You can even vote if you want a black or titanium one. I voted black. Classic and elegant, but I will say titanium makes it look like a sexy mac powerbook. Aahh the choices.

Lenovo has revealed two new Thinkpad Notebooks at CES today. The new models, T60, X60 and X60s, both have Intel’s new Dual Core Duo processors.

One more heart that was stopped

Month One

Mommy, I am only 8 inches long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of
your voice. Every time I hear it, I wave my arms and legs. The sound of your
heart beat is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two

Mommy, today I learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could
definitely tell that I am a baby. I’m not big enough to survive outside my home
though. It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three

You know what Mommy, I’m a girl !! I hope that makes you happy. I always want
you to be happy. I don’t like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad
too, and I cry with you even though you can’t hear me.

Month Four

Mommy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a
lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my
fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it
too.

Huge Discovery by Scientists on How Cancer Spreads

“Scientists have discovered how cancer spreads from a primary site to other places in the body in a finding that could open doors for new ways of treating and preventing advanced disease.”

“Instead of a cell just breaking off from a tumor and traveling through the bloodstream to another organ where it forms a secondary tumour, or metastasis, researchers in the United States have shown that the cancer sends out envoys to prepare the new site.”

Very interesting article. This could potentially be a very postitive new discovery in the world of medicine.
