The first nice day I have had off this year, so I finally got out to take some pictures. I’ve been itching to get out and do this. Now I’m itching for a new camera.

Mike’s car is pretty pimp.

And Haverhill is dirty.

Lightroom rocks.

I’ve really been neglecting MattMosh.Com. I could write something clever, but I will save that for another day as I am adjusting to a new keyboard layout.

So in short: Daytona was jawsome, I had a great time with my favorite nerds, John and Angela, also got to meet Hayoo, go to Disney and get drunk. So fun.

Philly was great, once agaim Jeff gave me a sweet tattoo.

And most important of all, Mini-Moshes are two baby boys poised for an invation in mere months.

 

Here are the latest picture of the two additions to my family.

Click to see them all Betty.

Didn’t seem to break anything, yet.

I failed at taking good pictures today. Here are the ones that aren’t that awful.

I’ve been lazy, obsessed and forgetful.

Starr and I went to Chicago last month to get tattooed. It was a pretty fun time, Jeff did a fantastic job, and Brian was insanely helpful. They are both pretty awesome. 

littlebigplanet rules, and I love that game.

And I forgot to reregister my domain, oops. 

Lazy entry, but here are some pictures of Chicago.

Had a great time with the wife. Never been on the freak out before, it was pretty sweet.

Got about 100 pictures, they aren’t fantastic, but they sum up the day nicely.

Bacon and sauage for breakfast is fanfuckingtastic.

But all I did is dirty more dishes I need to clean. I’m tired of spending my day off cleaning and paying bills and doing things. I just want to sit around and play video games. All day.

I want my day off to contribute to my ever expanding waistline.

After the Sunny D is gone, and I have a cigarette, and I deposit my check in the bank, and get a coffee. Ill do some cleaning. I swear.

I’ve been in need of and searching for a new phone for a few months now. My old reliable HTC wizard is getting a bit tempermental as of late. It probably has to do with it being dropped, kicked, in the rain, snow, sleet, my job filling it with dirt, aluminium dust, and the baby spiders that crawled out of the MicroSD slot.

I wanted a Touch Diamond, but since no carrier here has them, as far as I know anyway, they are fucking expensive. Plus, I’m growing weary of windows mobile. It works, but there could be so much more that could be better, with out having to add apps to handle task managing properly and what have you.

EDIT: AOTS says Sprint will have the Touch Diamond, BUT WHY NO ANDROID?

I was taking a serious consideration to the iphone 3G, but that would include switching providers, and I have had no problem with tmobile. They give me random “one month free” things. Why would I change if my data/voice service and bill are always great.

The simplicity of the iphone interface, sleek looks, fairly cheap, nice amount of storage, multitouch screen are all very attractive features. 

For me though, some of those good points aren’t so good. I don’t need loads of storage space, for music movies, pictures etc. I’d be paying for much more than I’d need. I’ve had 3 HTC phones in a row, and they have held up well to my serious abuse. I don’t know how well an iphone would hold up.  I hear ATT sucks too, and when I worked for them way back when. BOY, did they ever suck. I got rid of my cellphone for a while after that. 

Then comes the announcement I guess I’ve been waiting for, the new HTC Dream will be running Android, Googles mobile OS. And its only going to be $179.

So I preordered it. Then I read up on it. Seems a bit backwards. Oh well.

I keep reading these blog posts comparing it to the iphone. 

I don’t really think its a proper comparison at all. The iphones simplicity is what makes it good. One button. Intuitive interface, so even an idiot can check email and such, which they propbably wouldnt be able to figure out on windows mobile.

The G1, actually Android itself is providing a possible huge leap in mobile technology, at some point by sharing an open platform across many models of phones, which can be tailored to any device could provide many interesting ways to interact with people and phones with each other. 

Android is where the future lies, not in a completely closed system.

And another point, T-Mobile will unlock any phone after 90 days as far as I know. They’ve done it for me anyway, so the “its not really open if its locked to tmobile” arguement is stupid, and for the fact this is just the first phone and carrier to have an Android powered phone. There will be more.

There are a lot of little things that seem to be going for Android/G1 that make me want it more than an iphone, a nifty apps store with quite a few apps up already, with tons more to follow. Copy and Paste, removable battery, a QWERTY keyboard, a trackball so I dont have to get my dirty hands on the screen at work, and everything, like contacts, is sync’d to Skynet, er, Google. So no plugging the damn thing in to my computer and Activesync pissing me off. 

Its it Oct. 22nd yet?
