Bye Bye BlackBerry (For Now)

Well folks, I have made the decision to retire my BlackBerry and move back to my Sony Ericsson P900. The BlackBerry is a great device with so much power for messaging but at the same time, i have found a few flaws that the P900 makes up for. 1) On most of my mobile phones, I can send a SMS (Text) message to a list of people. The BlackBerry only allows e-mails to be sent to more than one person at a time. I send messages to 20+ friends at a time. 2) BlackBerry is for messaging and gives you instant e-mail. This is great but, when your BlackBerry’s address is getting spammed, that doesn’t help and all that SPAM wakes me up at night. 3) I never thought I would say this but, the lack of a camera and MMS (Picture) messaging. There have been several times in teh last few weeks where I have actually needed/wanted to use these options.

The BlackBerry is a great phone/device but, it isn’t the true PDA/Phone that I needed right now. Who knows, I may return to it in a few months but for now, I’m back to my Sony Ericsson P900.

I’m Back

Well, our internet was back yesterday. Turns out a cable on the outside of our building had been cut and that is why we lost cable and all that goes with it. Oh well. Work is going well and I am finalizing my resume for Guest Relations to have it ready to post on Monday. Not much else going on though. Sorry so short.

No Internet

Well folks, I am on day two of no internet or cable at home and BrightHouse for some reason isn’t coming very fast to come fix the problem. Oh well. I have been off the last two days and go back to work tomorrow. Yesterday I slept in and did some work around the house before going over to Joe’s and Paul’s for movie night. Today, I slept in again and I went off to Disney-MGM Studios before coming here to the Magic Kingdom where I am meeting up with Patrick for the night when he gets off of work. Not much else new to report really. More updates once my internet is back.

Mr Scott, One to Beam Up

Well, I was reading through my RSS feeds and noticed that Wil Wheaton had an interesting title on on article. Only after reading it had I discovered that one of my favorite Star Trek characters, Scotty, had passed away this morning. Below is the information that Wil provided:

LOS ANGELES — James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original “Star Trek” TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command “Beam me up, Scotty,” died early Wednesday. He was 85.

Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease, he said.

In the words of Mr. Spock, Live Long and Prosper Mr Doohan

Happy Birthday Patrick!

Happy Birthday to my friend Patrick. Hope you had an amazing day!
