The Walking Dead

Okay, first, if you’re not watching this show, do it now!  It’s amazing.

Second, I cannot watch this show before going to bed any more or… when I know I’m going to be home alone for a while afterwards.  I was watching last week’s episode this morning and went to get ready for work after it was over.  Olive started randomly barking in the house and I got totally freaked out.  I seriously thought the zombies were at the door waiting for me to leave for work.  I know it sounds dumb but that’s just how good this show is.  Seriously… you have to watch it.

Interesting Walmart Pricing

I went to Walmart looking for some command strip picture hangers. They had them in value packs and standard packs. The value packs consisted of 8 pairs and the standard pack contained 4 pairs. The pricing for the standard pack is listed first and the value pack is listed second in the images attached. Good times!

It’s Been a Long Time!

Sorry for the no posts recently.  I guess I’ve just kind of become too busy to update this on a regular basis.  It also doesn’t help that I’ve been blocked from most everything at work as well.  I think I’m going to try and be more proactive at blogging but, like I’ve said many times before, I can make no promises.

Anyway, I am going to post a couple of pictures from my phone in my next post.  Interesting Walmart pricing. :)

T-Mobile & HSPA+

So, T-Mobile is rolling out HSPA+ to a ton of their customers.  If you’re unfamiliar with what HSPA+ is let me give you a short description.  It’s basically 3G.5.  It’s not technically 4G but the speeds can rival any 4G network out there, and T-Mobile’s HSPA+ network does just that.  In fact, when they release their G2 phone next month, it will be capable of downloads of up to 14.4 mbps.  That’s freaking blazing fast and no other wireless carrier has speeds that even come close to that.  All this being said, every android phone that T-Mobile has put out is capable of reaping the benefits of this faster 3G network.  My Samsung Vibrant will be able to get speeds up to 7.2 mpbs once the network is rolled out here in Phoenix.  Now, it’s not technically live here in PHX but let me give you some information that I’ve been seeing over the past few days.

At work – Full Bars – Download Speeds

Test1 – 4335
Test2 – 5210
Test3 – 5662
Test4 – 5014
Test5 – 5512

Average Download Speed is 5.146 mbps

At home, just 6 miles away, I’m averaging 1.7 mbps which is typical for 3G.  Hopefully this means that T-Mobile is close to turning on HPSA+ for the entire PHX metro area!  I’m so excited!

Bravo – Flipping Out

Just a quick post this morning. Flipping Out, I just realized, started this week on Bravo. I LOVE this show. It’s sort of a guilty pleasure. I would never want to work for Jeff Lewis but he is really good at what he does. The show is very entertaining to watch!

New Phone

So, I finally got a new phone and I love it! It’s my first android phone and I couldn’t be more happy with it. My iphone was nice but this phone is ten times better. I am not even missing my iphone. The swype keyboard has made typing so quick and easy, and that’s coming from someone who was a keyboard typing master.

Since the galaxy s phones are coming to all carriers, I would suggest that you all check them out when available.

On another note, I am going to try to post more often but I won’t make any promises.

15 Days and Counting

Only 15 days remain until the Samsung Vibrant is released on T-Mobile. I’ve been waiting for this for the last year and a half. Thank you T-Mobile for bringing a high end Android device to your lineup!

Google Voice

Google Voice is now open to the pubic without an invite needed.  Read this article about all the cool stuff you can do with Google Voice.  I would highly recommend you get in on it!  The ability to save voice mails forever, download them and have them transcribed and sent to you via text is reason enough to get a Google Voice number.
