This weekend was pretty fun. Hiromi and I hung out a bunch. We went and saw Grindhouse. it was entertaining. I didn’t like planet terror. I realized half way through that I really don’t like a lot of Rodriguez’s horror movies. I like Sin City and his none zombie movies. Not his zombie movies. However, [...]

The Nokia N73 is a really nifty phone. It is a bit longer than [...]

Watch this french commercial. I found it rather nice. In a sad sort of way. I like stuff like this.
The last couple nights, I have watched the lord the rings trilogy. It is pretty awesome. I love it. I bought all the movies when they came out and had watched them sporadically after I [...]

I was talking to my “phone connection” and it looks as though the nokia N80 is out in the wild. You can check it out here. The N80 seems like a pretty cool phone. it has all the features that one could possibly want - good camera, good os, good form factor and wifi.
I think [...]

this weekend was a good time. I flew to minneapolis to engage in a juggling festival. it ruled. I saw lots of cool friends. sadly tomorrow is work. hey all my far away friends (i.e. bec, miriam and ella) I am n…
So on new years day i got a little “carried away” and got my Nokia 6600 wet. The joystick immediately stopped working and all hell broke loose. i was unable to do anything fancy like call or text. it was so annoying. so i got out my nifty little Sony-Ericcson t610 and continued my day. [...]
