I am writing this on my new Vibrant. I really like this phone. The swype keyboard is very impressive after you get a handle on it. I am not world record fast yet, but I am getting faster with every word. The T-mobile anti smudge screen protectors that I got do dull the screen a bit, but the display is still awesome. No matter how I hold it the signal strength stays solid. I still don’t why anyone would want an iphone. If there is anything that I could change would be to have a flash on the camera andput the usb port on the bottom of the phone Bookmark It Hide Sites

After the screen on my laptop broke and I didnt want to shell out close to 100 bucks for a replacement screen i went shopping for a netbook. I found a nice deal on an MSI wind 100 on ebay. I also picked up a power supply and a new 9 cell battery for the bad boy. I am surprised how fast Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop run on this low power machine. I do think another stick of ram to bring this to 2gb would be a great help. With the 9cell battery I can pretty much do a full day (8hrs) worth of surfing on this little thing There are also lots of infor on the web about getting Mac OSX...

Well, It has bee 2 years since I coated half my basement walls with Sani Tred and Half Drylock. You can read that post Here: Sani Tred Vs Drylock. The recent storms in the northeast, snow and rain. I did have some water get in to the basement. I am still working on sourcing where the water is coming from, but I believe that most of the issues lay outside the basement. I have a leaking gutter and I have a large crack on the concrete patio that need to be filled. I will update this post with my findings soon. Bookmark It Hide Sites

If you don’t know who Ken Block is you probably won’t find this post on the internet, so it makes no difference, He is a world wide internet sensation for his stunt driving, 2 time US Rally Champion and an overall Smart /Rich guy as one of the founders of DCshoes. This year Ken is moving up in the world of professional motorsports with a full time ride in the WRC (World Rally Championships). In this move he is changing from his trademark Subaru to a Ford and this is where his faithful following seem to have a misguided attachment to Subaru. One glance of Ken’s blog or facebook page...

I have been a T-mobile G1 user since it launched. I am normally not a “PHONE GEEK” in that I dont need to have the newest phone, but my G1 is really starting to slow down with all the normal apps running. I have been doing the math to see what the best option is. Since I am an existing t-mobile customer, this is kind of tricky. I am currently on the 1000 Mins voice Unlimited web/text for 69.99 no contract. OPTIONS: 1. Buy the unsubsidized phone at 529 dollars 2. Cancel my account and get the Subsidized phone for 179. plus 79.99 a month for a lesser plan for a 2 year contract 3.Take...
