5cops 1 girl

I'm having a burger in Johnston RI and I see a girl and a Jeep then a cop pulls up, the guy leaves and a 2nd cop comes, then a third 4th and now a 5th for a non violent female. And they wonder where our tax dollars go?

The Android Cupcake Update

    Those who know me realize I suffer from CPADHA ie Cell Phone ADHD meanig I change my cell phone every 6 months to a year. Some notable exceptions are my Tmobile Dash which I used about 2 years but otherwise I get bored and need to try different phones and operating systems.
      I've tried S60 v1, Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0, Sidekick and now Google's Android. I liked Android the the latest update, Cupcake, added video recording and make the camera infinitely more useful.
       Never was it more apparent than last Sunday.  I was at a wedding and fortunately it was light out as the phone has no flash. Pre upgrade, from the time I pushed the shutter until I saw the pic was over a second and now, post upgrade. its almost instant.
       The irony is I got the upgrade after the wedding, about 3 hours later. Yarrrgh!!!

Sunday in Newport

Kites of all types

Holy moly, I just got the Cupcake update

Seems a little fast but the camera being much more responsive and being able to record video is nice.

GSM hell

    Hell has often been depicted as being very hot and in fact writers like Chaucer have even come up varying levels of Hell.
     I have now figured out what hell is for people like me on Tmobile or on ATandT. Hell is having to poke around on GPRS because I'm out in the boonies away from a good data connection even tho I have full strength for voice. Sigh until I ascend to the EDGE and beyond.

Passing the ball

As I sat here getting tires on mr car, I remarked to a woman about my generation being passed the mess of the Baby Boomers. Her response was " its not our fault, we just passed on the ball that was passed to us'
   At what point do people say enough ball passing, let's make the future a better place. This attitude is part of what got us here along with greed, stupidity, blind trust and ignorance.
  Stop the ball and let's leave a legacy that we got things fixed instead of passing the broken system down.
