Did I mention that over the winter break the better-half and I switched over to Droids from Blackberry? Yeah, not really missing the Blackberry.
Have you tried any QR codes ? The new phone recognizes them. We saw an ad in Harper’s not long ago and listened to the author of Endgame: Bobby Fischer’s Remarkable Rise and Fall – from America’s Brightest Prodigy to the Edge of Madness speak about his friendship with Bobby Fischer and the book. Once we were done listening, I popped over and added it to my wishlist at Amazon. Technology is cool.
The only thing that I’ve missed, but there’s an easy work-around, is that once you set up how you wanted the alarm clock to work on the Blackberry it shut up at nighttime. So, this morning at 4:30 when 2 messages came through I was caught off-guard by the chirping. Problem solved by putting the Droid on silent. Just need to do that whenever I’m using the phone as my alarm clock.
When the alarm went off at 6:30 I was not prepared to get up. The apartment in the college town is chilly no matter if the heat is on or not. I think the insulation dates back to newspapers pressed into the voids like shotgun shacks of yore. Anyway, not ready to get up, I decided to watch a couple of music videos on the phone.
This is one of those videos:
Rollerblading through traffic, bright colors, big shirts, big hair. Now, that’s motivation to get up.
