Test Post for Feed Footer

I just need to see how the feed comes out. I've added a footer to my feeds promoting my Jaiku feed. Thanks for understanding. Oh, feel free to subscribe to the blog or Jaiku. :)

New Phones for the Boys - Updated

Mike, Jay and Bruce got their new phones at work. All of them got the N80i, which is a pretty sweet device. I didn't get one due to a shipping mistake; I already have an N73 from a while ago that I gave to Suz. She loves it; I just wish I could get her to trust the camera more. But, she is a camera addict. You can't blame her for having high expectations and favorite devices. How about you? Are you into cameras and photography? Do you have a favorite device, if so, what is it?

Update: I reposted this so the photo was the right direction. Sorry about the mix-up.

Movie Rating = G

I'm not usually one for forwards, games, polls, and tests online or via email. But, while surfing through BlogMad I came across a blog that had this posted. I wish I noted the blog I was on before following the link (you can't click "back" while using BlogMad), otherwise I'd post a link.

Anyways, here is my rating. I can't complain. It's always best to be available to all audiences, right?

Adding to Blogroll

I'm adding a little to my blogroll. I have to admit I don't have people beating down my door to be added. But, that doesn't mean I can't list some of my favorite blogs. Now yes, the two I've added today are work related. Besides writing about mobile technology, they are great writers and have intriguing personalities.

Stefan just joined IntoMobile after successfully launching blog for 6 months in his free time. Now the lucky sucker gets paid to do it. You should check out his latest posting; he hopped a plane to Finland for personal and professional reasons. I wish him the best.

Darla has been writing about Nokia, phones, S60 and everything else mobile for going on 3 years. She has her own pizzazz that she adds to the mix. One of my favorite things about her is the fact that she's a woman. In fact she posts links to a blog about women in mobile. I won't rant now, but it drives me nuts that people assume technology needs a man. I can't even count how many times people have disregarded me at work to talk to one of the guys just because I'm female.

Okay, this was supposed to be about Stefan and Darla not me. :) Now, you may notice that I'm writing about them like I know them. I wish I could say I do, but I don't. What is important though is that they're honest and intriguing in their writing, so you're able to get to know a bit of them right away.

Well, enjoy! Let me know if you read either blog and what you think. Also, the invite still stands...if you'd like to be linked, let me know your site. I'll check it out, add it, and talk about the addition in my next post.

Fourth of July in Chicago

Here is a short clip of the fireworks put on by Macy's in downtown Chicago on July 3rd. Yes, that is the wrong date, but that's how we roll in Chi-town. :) Enjoy!

I need to work on editing videos so you can have some tunes when viewing. I'll work on that next.

What did you do to celebrate Independence Day?

Last couple of the trail

More of the trail

Constituion Trail

This is in Bloomington-Normal and runs behind Susan's parent's house. Too bad it was so hot!

Should I be worried?

Now, I couldn't seem to edit this photo in Picasa the way I wanted, so you'll have it unedited. Why do I think I should be worried? Because I'm penned in by TWO student drivers. What are the odds? Aren't they supposed to stay away from eachother on the road? I just kept my distance and gunned it when given the chance.

What would you have done? Oh, and I was going to work, so I couldn't really just turn off and go somewhere else.

Hot Damn!

Check out this price of gas. I filled up. Wouldn't you? Oh, and this low on the Fourth of July. I thought they hiked up the prices for holidays. Not for me! :-)
