Shame on me for no recent updates.

It’s been a busy few months! Maw-Maw’s passing, Halloween (encompassing both a doggie and a people costume party), Pride, a Trip to Biloxi for some gambling, new phones (Droids!), Thanksgiving (including a trip to St. Augustine for the weekend), a holiday party for doggies (and the peeps that accompany them), the Reindog Parade at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, our own Holiday Par-Tay last weekend, Christmas lurking around the corner for next week, my birthday (no age disclosure), a friend’s birthday party the day after, New Years (with plans for a movie night that night, or movie day the next day with brunch)….and the list goes on.

As a result, things here have been lagging behind a bit. I’d like to make small updates more frequently. Sounds like a New Year’s resolution. But, maybe I can start early. With this update. What’cha think?

We got our droids from Verizon on Friday. So far, we are still experimenting with different applications and widgets to get things done they way we like. These are very cool..but may be a bit too much for ppl not experienced in the ways of ‘puters. For me, it’s a playground, and Kev is actually having fun with his droid, too.

It may not be the perfect solution, having to use a disc in the PS3 to get Netflix streaming, but I’m looking forward to having my PS3 get closer and closer to becoming the center of my media center!

Check out the netflix blog or register here to get the BD when it becomes available!

While washing dishes with syfy playing in the background…verizon commercial… droid… november… gawd… why do i have to wait so long??? www.droiddoes.com I just hope the anticipation is worth the wait..

ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers ) has been wanting to get some money from people using music for their cell phone ringtones–arguing that ringtones when played, were public performances and are thus subject to royalty payments. Ars Technica reports, thankfully, that a federal court judge has nixed that movement. Read their story here.

Finally! Verizon and Google sitting in a tree…

Our contract is up in December and I’ve been considering jumping the Verizon ship to go to T-mobile to get an Android based phone. But now, I may not need to. Just hoping that there’s no crippling by Verizon.
