Another fun "is-it-true or b.s." blog:
I Found Some Of Your Life:
"I Found Some Of Your Life
You are unknown to me.
Your camera's memory card was in a taxi; I have it now.
I am going to post one of your pictures each day.
I will also narrate as if I were you.
Maybe you will come here and reclaim this piece of your life."

Here's a neat idea for cell phones:
(click on pic for larger image)

I've had a cellphone since 1995. Always used cases, but a friend showed a neat trick to keep the screen clear and scratch-free - shipping tape. I just put some good quality tape, like 3M, on the screen, and used a sharp knife or blade to cut around the screen. Worked like a charm, especially on the Nokia 6185 that had a screen that stuck out.
Now that I have my Toshiba, the first thing I did was scour ebay for a data cable and case. Instead of a case, I found something better - phone skins. These are just pieces of vinyl cut to fit the shape of the phone, but what a great idea! Unfortunately, the manufacturer and seller, Vision Vinyl, in a rare reversal of trend, carries mostly Sprint and Verizon phone skins, but does have some GSM phone skins.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, everybody!

Here's what's bugging me today:
Bought a Sprint Toshiba VM4050/Audiovox 9900 phone two weeks ago.
Good deal (Costco - $249, including holster/car charger/headset).
Today, the damn belt clip on the holster breaks off. I'll have some pics in the next post.
Otherwise, the phone is great, except for the average battery life of about 1 day per charge.
Oh, and the voice guidance system - more annoying than useful.
Any questions about this phone - feel free to comment.

Polish Stereotype Comes True
Here's a great example of Polish stereotypes coming true: Own goal hands England win over Poland.
It's bad enough to have so many jokes about your ineptitude - proving those jokes true is truly a feat.

It's all about practicing some love:

From the "Yet-another-Bush-slip-up" dept:

"President Bush offered an unexpected reason on Monday for cracking down on
frivolous medical lawsuits: "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their
love with women all across this country."
