New phones

Less than 1 min read

Well last I posted, we just got the new Motorola Razr’s in 2007. Dumped those last month and have the Motorola Droid’s for all three of us. Nifty little things with lots of apps and things.

They are teaching a course at NCState on Java programming on Android which sounds interesting. I got a couple of books on programming for them but no time to mess with it yet.

Post later.

Music List

This is a list of songs I have in my music collection as of January 1, 2008. Many of these were ripped from CDs I had purchased made into DRM-free AAC files. I think some came from an online service. Enjoy getting glimpse into my weird music tastes!

New cell phones

Less than 1 min read

I bought new cell phones (Motorola Razor v3) for the whole family and I’ve just gotten them connected to my laptop. I’m trying to get my calendar and contact list on Gmail to download to it. The MPT (Motorola Phone Tools) lets you tie Outlook or Lotus Notes to your phone. The 5th gen video ipod has a tool to convert Gmail Calendar into your iPod. That might be an interesting place to start. It would be nice to tie the calendar together for the whole family on our phones.

The phone itself is actually quite a powerful little toy. The mobile java is an interesting environment.
