iPhone Blog Attempt #1

So this is my first attempt at blogging via my iPhone. We will see how this goes.

I'm looking forward to saving some money when I finally cave next week and ditch the AT&T air card. It costs me $60 a month and since I rarely ever use my laptop for most of the things I had always used it for since I bought my iPhone I keep finding it harder and harder to justify paying for the air card.

So if this blogging attempt proves successful then I won't feel as bad about getting rid of the air card. I have fought with myself for a few months now over this decision and still find myself a little panicky at the idea of giving up such a simple device. It's come in very handy quite a few times but while handy, it's not really key to my survival or anything.

So, away it goes. :-)

Yoi might be able to tether your phone to the laptop. That is how I blog on the road

I can "break" the iphone and do that but it nixes the 1 year warranty on it. If I keep it that long without upgrading then I'll do that, but for now I'm not gonna mess with it.

Apparently the tether option is only available in certain areas and I am not contracted out of one of those areas. So oh well. But thanks for bringing it up.

There might be folks who don't realize they can use their iphone that way. :)

Tiger you are right but my laptop has built in wifi card so I can borrow connections where available. As often as I've used my air card recently I could have paid for TA or Pilot 24 hr access and saved $50 of the $60 I'm spending onthe bill for the air card.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
