Da Man

Does anyone really expect any other movie to win an award tonight other than Ray? After seeing what happened at the Academy Awards I feel like tonight Oscars are going to be the same. When an artist dies it seems the whole wide world suddenly notices that artist. Sure they had seen him before but now its "chic" to be into that artist. Just like the way Ray Charles won all those awards at the Academy. I my self think that Green Day should have won that award. But instead the dead guy did. So tonight I think i'm going to avoid the Oscars with Chris Rock making bad jokes like a plaque.

And this years Oscar for best comedy is Ray!... This years best Oscar for documentary is Ray! ... This years best sex-ed film is Ray!... Do you see a trend?

What was i thinking!

I have no ideal why i would want to have a word a day post. That would mean i would have alot and i mean alot of post. So with only 2 days in im going to nix that in the bud. So no more 420 word of the day posts. instead, im going to make it into a side bar. I think this would be better and more attractive.

My buddy over at Placelogohere.com entered into a contest over at brianwilson.com to make a video of some sort. I really dont know the detail of the contest execpt that he won the contest. So head over to brianwilson.com and check it out.

New theme for your Sony Ericsson T616, T610, T637 phone in the gallery so go and get it!

420 word of the day

I'm starting something new today. In my never ending quest to be somewhat more intelligent I am going to learn a new word everyday and post it here. I will do so at 4:20 everyday and I will do this Monday thru Friday.

Todays word is:

Pandect - The entire system or code of laws of a country

I miss...

Taco Bell, you love it, you hate it, but its always damn tasty. I have a love affair with taco bell. When I was in high school we would meet at taco bell to do home work or even just hang out. After School was over I would lunch at taco bell. Now i'm older and I still lunch at taco bell. i've been told I should be 8k pounds by know but i'm not. The reason I miss taco bell is because here recently I have given up on the fast food diet for lunch time. No longer do I get the always tasty burrito and soft taco, no longer do I go to Wendy's for the Big Bacon Classic or to McDonalds for the Big Mac Meal. Now, I go to the local national grocery store and buy soups and lunch type of stuff to eat while I work. Why did I do this? not to be the better employee, never! I did this to save money. Which as worked so far. But still, I miss Taco Bell.

Whats that? yes I can here your bell calling me to the border. NO I CANT GIVE IN!

HooRay

I took the plunge and ordered a USB cable from a seller on Ebay. I took advantage of a buy now auction and bought a Data Cable and a Car Charger for the ever so low price of 1 dollar. Talk about cheap! Along with shipping it came out well below the normal retail price normally found in the local cell shop. After ordering and paying it took less than a week to get and I was happy with the product. So if anyone has a need for a data cable for just about any phone check out Ebay. Or let me know and ill give you the name of the seller.

Success!

Last night I was able to successfully connect to my Motorola V551 mobile phone with bluetooth to browse folders. Although now I am unable to use bluetooth for anything else. Well maybe I can, I will have to try when I get some time. I'm going to be busy upgrading my mobile phone gallery to allow WAP downloads. I plan on having lots of wallpapers and mp3 ringtones available along with the same and maybe new Sony Ericsson T6xx themes. There is still going to be a user accessible area so you can share your stuff also. So don't forget to join if you're into that kind of thing.

Are you connected?

I have this new cell phone.

It does lots. I really really like it. But what I want to do I cant do.

See, I need a usb cable to do the crap I want. It has Bluetooth which is really cool, but it doesn't have a COM port for it, so the most I can do is monitor the battery and connections. I should be able to wireless connect to the phone and browse files. Well I cant, all I can do is what I said before.

Can I trust a seller on the big auction site? I guess well find out. $15+ at local shops is awfully high.

Yet Another Mobile Phone

So after having to buy a new mobile phone last November and choosing a phone identical to the previous phone I had. I made that choice because of the theme support it had. Well after 3 months of using the "updated" version of the Sony Ericsson T616 I found that the Sony Ericsson T637 really wasn't anything better than what I had before.

Enter the Motorola V551. I've been looking at this phone for some time now. It has lots of the stuff I used on my Sony Ericsson. Like the camera and the bluetooth capabilities, although it doesn't have the theme support that the Sony Erricson did. They do have theme files but they consist of mainly of just a wallpaper, screensaver and a ringtone. While this is cool and all I really enjoyed the creating of the highlight bar and other parts that make up the display. The Motorola V551 does support things called Skins. apparently these things are what the softkey labels and graffic files are held in. I have notice a lot of animation, I think this is one reason I have yet to find a skin creator or even a editor for them. It comes with 3 different themes: "Moto" I figure this is the "Motorola" brand theme, "Techno" Nothing like I was expecting. More like Technology then like disco type of thing, and then there is "Neon" which is kinda like a candy look. Smooth and bright. All the themes supplied have a analog skin for the clock along with default wallpapers and screensavers.

Here are a summary of features from Motorola.com

Summary of Features:

* Compact design with soft-touch covers and vivid color internal display (65,000 TFT)
* Integrated VGA camera with 4x zoom and dedicated one-touch camera key
* Preloaded FotoFun Photo Editor for editing by adding clip art and backgrounds to existing images
* One touch video capture and playback
* GPRS and EDGE for high speed data exchange
* GSM Quad-band global roaming
* Dedicated carrier key for easy one touch access to a Web-related services
* Bluetooth wireless technology
* SyncML Device Management and PIM Synch
* Entertainment via Java preloaded and downloadable games, MP3 ringtones and more
* Picture caller ID & picture phone book
* Up to 5 megabytes of end user memory
* Multi-media messaging service (MMS), POP3/IMAP4 client for e-mail management and IM Wireless Village
* Conference calling and integrated hands-free speaker

All in all this is a fine piece of technology. If you are looking for something that you can use as a quick still and video camera then this is a great buy. I found that the bluetooth is tricky to set up and sometimes is buggy, but once I figured it out it became much easier to use and now have to problems sending sounds and pics to and from the phone.

What If?

What if I was a girl? I'm not, but what if?

The Interpretation of Dreams

So i was watching my favorite tech show The Screen Savers that i have recoded on my Tivo and they showed a link for a very cool screensaver. It's called ElectricSheep. Check it out and join the herd!

Small Furry Rodents

In the blistering cold, they stood waiting patently for the creature to stick its head out of the borrow hole that it lives in. As they all stood there, you could hear cheers and cries wafting above the winds. Children laughed and some cried, men held the hands of the ladies they married out of high school. They all gathered here in this hollow for a magical day. This day that only comes once a year during the magical month of February. The reason February is magical is because of it ability to add a day every four years. This is not one of those years, but it is the month. See, on this day, we set our hope and dreams upon one living thing. The ground hog, a furry little wood chuck. I know what your saying why the groundhog? the groundhog was truly the first pet of the settlers here in the USA. Some will tell you that it was a Dog. It was not! it was the Groundhog. We kept it for one reason. To predict weather. See this amazing rodent gained the ability of predicting weather by studying at the prestigious GSU (Groundhog State university) in Pennsylvania. It's a four year course in which the groundhog learns to look for clouds, precipitation, wind speed, temperature, and of course its shadow. So today is when this great weather man pops its head out of its warm home to look around study the environment and give its prediction. Unfortunately we cant understand the ground hogs language, so we have racoons translate for us. So, when this fine example of weather predicting came out. It studied the surroundings, looked at the ground. Saw its shadow. Then, in the mist of chants, it said... Well I don't know what it said. But the racoon translated what he said to this:

Natural disasters have been a terrible thing.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, downpours, floods, landslides
Heavy snow storms, avalanches, frigid temperatures
Sleet and freezing rain,
They cause much destruction, suffering and pain.

When it seems like too much with which to cope
The coming of spring gives us new hope.
Changing seasons are a wonderful thing
Now it's Groundhog Day and we think of spring.

Will spring come early or will it come late?
It's time for me to prognosticate.
As I study the sun it is all about fun.
But I am sorry to say, I see my shadow today.
When I see my shadow, 6 more weeks of winter will come our way!

I my self was hoping it would have not seen its shadow, so spring would come in a month and a half. But maybe next year.

From 4 to 5

Its February, and the year is truly on its way. One month in, or 31 days old. I'm not sure if your still doing it, but i'm still writing 04 instead of 05 when I write dates on check or documents. How annoying is this? Do you still do this?
