FYI: Its amazing how quick a slightly cracked window will trounce sleepyness due to Vw’s heated leather seats.

Ah, 9th grade physics showing why the world is an awesome place. Plus, the fish tanks are pretty neat.

It’s like a Habitrail for fish!

Why didnt they have these when I was  kid in Boy Scouts? I could go camping AND sleepwalk at the same time!

Brilliant!

If I had this, Id have to stand like that guy in the yellow too.

Wow, I cant even get my dog to do tricks, and my fish only do something when I come over with the food.

Fog definitly sucks

    Well, after almost 3 years of using my faithful ol’ Motorola E815 from Verizon, I finally got a new phone. And it even has an actual marketing name too! The Venus from LG (VX8800 for all you technical kids) is a pretty hot little number. It is a sliding face phone, which is a bit of a departure for me. I’m used to clamshell/flip phones. Something about that satisfying closing of the phone when you are hanging up on someone I guess. But, seeings how you can still close this phone, its not just a candybar phone and thats it, so I still have a bit happyness in that.

The phone actually has 2 screens on it. The top screen is 320X240 pixels and the bottom is a 176 x 240 pixel colour TFT touchscreen. While any touchscreen phone is going to draw comparisons to the ubiquitous iPhone, I really don’t care about all of that. I just like that the display contextually changes depending on whatever mode you happen to be in. Using the camera? Hold the phone sideways and the screen changes to landscape orientation. MP3 player? The buttons become play, pause, and seek. Shoot, even the calculator gets classy by having the lower screen change to the plus, minus, and equals symbols.

While this post wont turn into a review of the phone, (I’ll let people who get paid to do that sort of thing handle that) I will tell you that I’ll be using it’s 2 megapixle camera to be moblogging a lot more lately. You wont see too many night pic’s from me (it doesn’t have a flash) but ill be sure to use it often.

With that, I’m off to go tell strangers in public that they should touch my Venus.

Well now, it’s a new year. 2008. I have got all kinds of cool stuff that I’m gonna be putting on here this year. It could’nt be sooner.
