Cool to see cell phones have replaced lighters at concerts. This is old news now, but a few years back this was the first time I'd seen them turn off all the lights in the arean and only have it lit by the light from peoples' phones.
On my 40th birthday, I woke up to the best gift I could ask for: A text from my mother, who is learning how to text. This means that I receive excellent (and cryptic!) texts like:
"HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY!
wow, still cannot believe
it...
you and Curtis Jackson
50 cents share the date
talk to you later...
XOX
"
I read this outloud and it makes me laugh every single time. Who knew my mom was such a fan?
Insight Meditation Timer app does such a nice job of using very basic stats to motivate me to sit as often as I can, and to try to string together consecutive days as often as I can. A+
After leaving the store, I had trouble getting the folding seat in my dad's truck to lock back into place. I raised it and slammed it down several times, but still no luck. I raised the seat to investigate and immediate found the culprit......MY PHONE! Doh. The screen was totally shattered and the phone was bent into a few funny angles but it was still completely functional! Yaaaaay....boooooo.
Monday clean-up means the discovery of more devices I have known and loved! Clockwise from top-left: 3Com Palm III (1998), Motorola StarTAC (1996), Sony DSC-U40 (one of my favorite cameras ever) 2003, iPod v4 (2003, LG Clamshell VX?? (2005?), Danger Hiptop Sidekick 3 (2006)
MANDATORY: At least one team member must create a profile on Grindr and post their bio message as "Happy Birthday, Andrew!" I took this one for the team. Haha.
I spent Saturday morning working on my continued quest to declutter and get rid of things that I have squirreled away that I should just part with. But not before taking a photo of them! 2nd-gen iPod (the very first one they made that had a touchscreen wheel instead of an actual wheel!) and and old LG clamshell cell phone!
...so I geeked out and spent the evening rooting my G1 and installing Cyanogen Mod 4.2 (allowing me to run the latest version of Android on old hardware). Wooo!
