The Agony and the Ecstacy
Wow, what a couple of days. If you know you know, if not suffice to say life is a roller coaster. The choices in front of us never seem clear until they are behind us, and then we are either kicking ourselves or… I guess everyone wants to be happy, but maybe they should [...]
T-Mobile Sidekick 3 Customer Service???
So a while back my sidekick 3 broke, and I went through a bunch of nonsense to return the phone. The rep on the phone said to take “just the phone, not the charger or any accessories” to a UPS store and they would send it to T-Mobile. So I suck it up, take the [...]
Update: My Sidekick Sucks
I was loving the Sidekick, its a great phone, organizer, web appliance, etc. Until it broke!!! My microphone is apparently not working anymore, which makes it difficult to talk to people.
So I went into the TMob store, hung out for an hour while they ran some ‘troubleshooting diagnostics’ on the phone and then told [...]
Updates and more excuses for not blogging
I was cruising by my blog the other day (is looking at your own blog like catching a look of yourself in the mirror? like ‘damn im sexy’) and found myself thinking about how come I never blog, and came up with two reasons. One, the stuff that goes on in my life is [...]
Switching from Verizon to T-Mobile

contextual advertising

funny taste in my mouth - is that victory?
So a while back I posted about an NPD study that prompted a reporter from Forbes.com to ask me “Why is WinMX the most popular music downloading service?” I kind of let it go because after I told her i thought her study was completely erroneus she didn’t want to talk to me anymore. Go [...]
updates, p2p revolution, bittorrent, padres
Woke up this morning to my datacenter calling me telling me they were watching my power circuit melting. Cool. So I had to go to the datacenter (my favorite place), power down 5 customers boxes (some 15), switch to a different circuit, and bring the machines back up. Of course, Murphy being the bitch he [...]
