A major project that I've been working on at work is actually in use for real production work. I am happy :). Rock on EyeWonder!

All of these photos are also on Facebook, but I decided to post a sample of the snow pictures on my blog as well.

Man vs Food

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I just watched several episodes of this TV show called Man Vs Food. This crazy guy basically goes to all of these different places and faces a local eating challenge. Tonight, I saw him do the following:

  • Attempt to eat 8 breakfast burritos from this place in Austin, TX (he lost this one)
  • Finish a 72 oz steak dinner from this place in Amarillo, TX (72 oz steak, salad, baked potato, and a dinner roll). Amazingly enough, he still looked like he could eat more after this!
  • Eat 2 gallons of ice cream from this place in San Fransisco, CA
  • Eat 10 sushi roles of various spiciness from this place in Charleston, SC and ace it.

Apple vs HP?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Apple just announced the Apple iPad, which is essentially an enlarged iPod Touch (or iPhone). Anyone else notice the similarities in the name between iPad and HP's iPAQ (which has essentially the same target market)?
So... Facebook decided to reimport all the blog posts in my blog's Atom feed. People.. my birthday was a month ago. I'd expect all of you to know that :). Try reading before you reply to facebook stuff ;).

Anyone want a Google Wave invite? If so, let me know and I'll get in touch to do so. (If you are reading this from Facebook, please go to the blog directly and comment there)

New Hosting Provider

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
My blog has been hosted on 1&1 for ages. However, as one of the 2 person team known as Reaktix (the other being Jeremy Tymes from Grand Rapids), I am a provider of hosting services backed by a large hosting provider from Boston, MA. In order to show my trust in my own hosting service, my blog is now hosted on Reaktix Hosting's Pro Linux plan.

If anyone ever sees any problems, please let me know!

The HTC-made T-Mobile Shadow 2009 (branded as the T-Mobile Shadow) is a great smartphone for beginning smartphone users. It has a phone case design similar to many featurephones, lacking a touchscreen or trackball, and has a Microsoft built custom interface that makes Windows Mobile 6.1 much simpler to use. It features UMA, allowing you to use wifi to extend T-Mobile's range (much simpler than the Femtocell products that other carriers provide), a 2.0MP camera (like most HTC products, there's no flash), and all the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 standard features

Phone: T-Mobile Shadow 2009
Manufacturer: HTC (design by T-Mobile)
Operating System: Windows Mobile 6.1
UI: Shadow UI (custom built by Microsoft, HTC, and T-Mobile for the Shadow)
Carrier: T-Mobile (exclusive)
Processor: 260 MHz (trust me, this is enough for this phone)
Voice Network: GSM, UMA
Data Networks: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi
