Saturday, November 29th, 2008Nokia’s new GPS journey and media tracking application, NokiaviNe just launched a couple days ago. I’ve been trying to get a couple friends to check it out but apparently as simple as I thought it was to operate, it was slightly complicated for them. So to help them and anybody else out, here’s how to record and upload a journey using NokiaviNe. Right now, you should know that currently NokiaviNe is only compatible with the E71, N78, N79, N82, N85, N95 8GB and N96 handsets. The list is expe
Black Friday Wrapup
Saturday, November 29th, 2008There is NOTHING a store can do to get me to be at their doors at 4:00am. So, sorry JCPenney and Kohls. I first went to Wawa for coffee and got to Mom’s at 6:00am. Our first stop was Sears for their $99 TomTom GPS. For Mom, not me. I still use Google Maps because I don’t want a disembodied voice telling me where to go.

the trip part two…
Saturday, November 29th, 2008So as I said, why do I recognize someone at this airport in this place I have never been at 11pm at night? Well a wonderfully sweet woman I know from an online bulletin board I used to frequent (an SMC board I was part of for ages until it became necessary to only hang out on IF boards and blogs) was at the airport. Never mind I had never mentioned when I would be flying in. Never mind she was with her mother and her 16 month old daughter at 11 pm and had been waiting Goddess knows how long fo
Authorities Hunt For Terror Group Responsible
Saturday, November 29th, 2008Indian investigators, with the help of FBI agents and other foreign experts, are fanning out in their hunt for any remaining terrorists tied to the brutal attacks in the country’s financial capital that killed at least 195 people and injured more than 300. Local media have labeled the massacre “India’s 9/11.” The terrorists’ final siege ended Saturday morning — two and a half days after the attacks began — but the efforts to determine who carried out the attacks have only begun.
