Well, I’m trying out a blogging tool called w.blogger. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of flexibility this brings to the posting process.
Working on New Blog
Well I’ve been working on my new blog which I intend to keep focused on news and happenings in the technology sphere that I’m interested in. In addition, I’m planning on keeping this blog updated with more of a bent on my professional life. I’ll be discussing items about career decisions, opportunities, challenges, etc… This blog will also be updated about information as push AC into reality.

HTC Prophet…
Jason Landridge has a link to more information on the upcoming HTC Prophet. This device is basically an updated HTC Magician device – also known as the iMate JAM and T-Mobile MDA Compact. With WM5, WiFi, a 2MP camera and many other updates, this could be the device for you!
T-Mobile Catching Up On 3G
Techdirt Wireless has a post about how T-Mobile USA is now committing to 3G, hoping to launch 3G services by the end of 2006. They also mention that it may be to T-Mobile’s benefit to be rolling out 3G later than their peers and that nobody has figured out how to market 3G yet.
I’ll agree with this completely – T-Mobile can roll out a much more mature technology instead of spending billions implementing through trial & error. The result will be 3G services for less than the competition, and that is the key to 3G that all the carriers just don’t get. There is no magic ticket for 3G except for a big fat wireless pipe for cheap, just like a home broadband connection.
The sooner carriers understand that they simply supply a connection and get away from the idea that they need to wall the customer in, or provide some ‘hip’ service like ringtones (LOL), the sooner they will be able to sign up the majority of their existing voice customers as data customers.
The business plan for 3G is simple if they will try it, and remains the same as many business models: Volume!

I’m focused on LASTING relief, not just TEMPORARY gimmicks.
A one-time $300 check is chicken feed compared to years of rising property taxes and utility bills.
Until we end the 400-year property tax hike and stop Madison’s overtaxation, they’ll keep taking more from you.
They will keep lying & subverting you until someone is held accountable for ‘treason & sedition’.
Obama spent $34 million tax dollars in 2012 to renovate the Reflecting Pool.
But we're supposed to believe that Trump spending $13 million to do the same is the end of the world?
John Thune is a giant wiener. He just said that he doesn’t have the votes to end the filibuster.
WHOSE FAULT IS THAT, JOHN???
80% of Americans - Republicans and Democrats - want voter ID. And Thune is just standing there, bragging about getting the Democrats "on record" without
And this is why the left is burning down our cities and assassinating our leaders. Free speech is more powerful than a bullet. Truth lives forever, while assassins decay in the dirt.
Elon Musk has changed the world.
