Just getting home now, ...Whew... long day at work. Just getting home now, about 9-ish. Now then...<br /><br />Fan,<br /><br />Yeah, I can see where factoring kids into the equation changes everything. I’d sure be looking for stuff to keep me occupied in those situations. Especially with swimming practice… I mean, it’s not like you can really participate physically or verbally. What can you yell from poolside? <br /><br />“Swim faster?”<br />“Don’t be so spashy?”<br />“Pull your suit out of your butt?”<br /><br />Still, I’d probably lean toward crossword puzzles.<br /><br /><br />Judie<br />I believe you have to sign up for a service that lets you email pictures from your phone. My service (Sprint) either charges a monthly fee that’s too high for the frequency I’d use it, or a charge per kb of the file you’re sending. (again, which is more that I’d care to pay for some grainy picture.)<br /><br />If I had some kind of emergency where I needed a picture from my cell, I’d use my camera to take a picture of my phone with the picture on it, then blow it up with Photoshop.<br /><br />As for connecting them to your contact list… I just went by the directions in the manual that came with the phone. Also, on mine, when you take a picture, it asks you what you want to do with it… I just choose “Assign” and it brings up a list of your contacts. I select one, and “done!”<br /><br />GUY,<br />Yeah, it’s like there’s a giant flaming arrow pointing to them from overhead. Busses, trains, airport gates… everyone knows who the douchebag is… <br /><br />And thanks for providing such a stealalbe idea in your last post…<br /><br />Mundane,<br /><br />I have zero patience for that kind of “I need to ask you something but you have to wait until I finish asking my mate what they had for lunch” BS.<br /><br /><i>“Sorry, Douchebag, perhaps you can regain my attention once you get off your goddamm phone. But I wouldn’t count on it.”</i><br /><br />It kind of makes sense to have to take the film off a Kindle doesn’t it? I mean, doesn’t the glass function as the interface? (My phone is far too primitive for that.)bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-34423352231783913992010-06-23T20:14:13.146-04:002010-06-23T20:14:13.146-04:00So many of us can relate to you on this.

The fact that the Kindle makes you peel the protective cover off before you can begin using it almost made me sick to my stomach.<br /><br />When I worked at a science museum in college, people would come up to me at the information desk and hold their finger up to me to tell me to wait while they struggled to finish up telephone conversations. Or worse, they'd try to ask me questions while still holding the phone up to their ear. And those people were ignored.Unapologetically Mundanehttp://www.unapologeticallymundane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-43241373749333009122010-06-23T15:39:09.835-04:002010-06-23T15:39:09.835-04:00Yes, it's hard to blame cell phones, but it...Yes, it's hard to blame cell phones, but it's easy to blame the people using cell phones. Since when is it OK to talk very loudly while waiting in line at the store, or at the post office?

I like the security of having that permanent line that has its own power source in case the lights go out, and is not dependent on cell towers functioning. (which can get blown down or overloaded in times of crisis.)<br /><br />Also, like I mentioned, I don't like the feel of talking on cell phones... too small. I like the heft of a traditional phone.<br /><br />So I have a very bare-bones home plan, to go with my bare-bones cell plan. Maybe one day, I'll consolidate.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-83971741323850202692010-06-22T23:09:12.761-04:002010-06-22T23:09:12.761-04:00I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the...I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of texts and such.

At least I was assuming he was crazy… he didn’t look like he could afford a headset, but I didn’t want to look his way for too long. A met gaze only generates two things: <br /><br />1. Do you have any spare change? <br />2. What are YOU looking at, m-er f-er? <br /><br />Judie,<br />To me, the best part of having my friends programmed into the phone is attaching their picture to the listing.
