You can call me Dave

One of the coolest things about 2001 was the portable little flatscreen they watched the news on while eating lunch. Well, if this phone was a tablet ...

First smartphone post. Almost makes me wish for the little slideout keyboard after all. I had it the first few days. But it made the phone too thick and lent it a certain mechanical uncertainty. And Swype™ is awesome. So if blog posts are my only real use for it, then the keyboard is truly no loss.

Well, this was too much trouble to do regularly. A few of the usual operations are too difficult to do with my fat fingers. I'm ready to stop now. Hal? Open the pod door, please. Hal?

Hal?

did you use the Blogger™ app, or just the website?

I didn't care for either the Blogger™ app for Android OR the website, which is another reason I find the Wordpress™ installation better than using Blogger™. The WP™ app rocks.

Did you watch TV? Theoretically I can watch whatever's recorded on my DVR via my Dish™ app and the Slingbox™ I have.

Gadget Girl™, remember?

From the grocery™ store I asked your princess™ what wine™ app she preferred and *gasp* she didn't™ have™ one™.

I have the WP app but don't find myself posting from my phone much. I'm just not out and about doing anything exciting enough to blog about. Or if it's THAT exciting, I'm too distracted by it to think of blogging about it.

I have trouble with the little keyboard. Combine that with their overzealous autocorrect and hilarity often ensues. It does seem to memorize words you use a lot, though. It autofills my daughter's name if I just type the first letter now, and it's not an uncommon letter.

I did better with the slider qwerty, but I found I couldn't be arsed to slide it out and flip the sucker sideways as regularly, so grew used to Swype. Too used to it, to the point of Swyping too quickly and getting far too many errors. Using SwiftKey now, but wish SwiftKey and Swype would start sleeping with one another. SwiftKey has a better learning / predictive algorithm. Swype is just plain lovely to use.

Just as with emotions, you are responsible for your own apps
