In With The New

As cell phones get more advanced, we are moving away into a new world, a new era of smartphones. The arrival of Android, promised Windows Mobile 7, iPhone OS, webOS, Maemo, Symbian, and other operating systems are bringing improvement after improvement. I feel the need for a new phone!

It's been a great few weeks for phones. I'll make a little list...

- Sense interface comes to HTC Magic! Clicky
- Firefox, the popular web browser comes to Maemo! Clicky
- Nokia n97 gets improved calling, improved scrolling, and more! Clicky
- Nexus One with multitouch, Google Goggles, more? Clicky
- iPhone/iPod Touch 3.1.3 out! Clicky

Have fun, and always feel free to donate a phone or two to me. It's no problem.  :)

For free, why not?

Nokia's navigation system for their phones, Ovi Maps has been updated and is available for free. Free stuff is always cool, like the racing game they've created. Any map, choose a car, let's go riding.

They are over 1.4 million downloads already since the update. This apparently translates into "a download per second, 24 hours a day."

It's been...

 ...a boring day at school.

Let's talk Lockerz. To be short and sweet (although in life I'm moderately tall and sweet), it's a site where you collect up points by logging in and answering daily questions. Eventually, you'll have enough points to redeem for some prizes, and this is all for real. However, you can only join if invited by a member.

My homies have solved that problem for those of you interested. They've got a new site up here and will invite you so you can get started on your point gathering.

My favourite part about Lockerz is the question answering. Allow your imagination to run wild.

I Levelled Up...

...in Stick Arena to Rank 7! One of my favorite online games, I played it when it was the original, and I'm playing it again in its newer version, "Ballistick". You should check it out here.

Renovation

Renovation is coming along nicely, but I feel the need for fresh ideas. I'll be looking.

Renovation Stuff Done:

- added Twitter button
- reset Sitemeter counter
- resisting the urge to add ads so the site stays clean, both in appearance and in content
- refreshed some colors
- refreshed list of blogs/sites to check out
- a bit of advertising on Twitter

Once again, these are all little things, but I'm still working on it.
