Now there’s a butt call. Two kids decided to burglarize a house. But one of them inadvertently dialed 911 during the robbery. They never say if the call was a butt-call or what. Either way, a 13-year-old and a 19-year-old got caught with the loot. I wonder why they gave the 13-year-old’s name in the …

The Blackberry Skitter
After the burial of Oratio I linked to last week, I was very interested when the same site posted an interview with Michel Pepin of Humanware, all about Oratio. Ok, what is up with this guy. Is half the problem that French is his first language? He does a lot of stammering and stuttering, and …

Wayfinder Access Petition
Last night, while I was jibbering away in that 73-minute trainwreck, I mentioned a petition that has been created by TalkNav Inc. on the subject of Wayfinder Access suddenly being terminated. I figured I would give it its own proper plug. Wayfinder Access really was the cheapest GPS solution, and the only solution for Symbian …
Blackburial
Remember back when I was all excited about the new Blackberry screenreader? Well, as time went on and press releases came out, my excitement turned to disbelief and suspicion. First, the press releases hardly gave any info. They spent more time raving about how you can customize the speed and pitch of the voice than …
N86 Switch Nearly Complete
Well, it’s my second day with Mr. N86, and I’d say the switch is almost complete. All my old contacts and calendar entries and files have been transferred…I think, and I got the sim card in without a hitch. Don’t ever ask me to get it out though. I had the phone laying on its …
My First Thoughts On The N86
Alrighty. I said I would review the N86, but it would have to be in pieces because it’s going to take me a while to master this beast. Let’s do the setup piece first. I would have done this earlier, but having to get apartment folk to chase down what was causing my sink to …
One Step Closer To Eyeballs In A Box!
My N86 is here my N86 is here my N86 is here! Now…the learning begins. First, I couldn’t figure out how the hell to get the battery in. Luckily Steve’s sister was generous enough to help me put it in. I feel relieved that even she, phone expert extraordinaire, had to consult the manual, at …

Is Mobile Blogging For International Customers Not Possible?
Well, I’m a step closer to my N86. I got a happy call from a good Rogers man to tell me that the phone is in the mail. Wooohooo. *drool*. But the poor widdow phone won’t be very useful to me until I get it all Talksed up, and I can’t do that until I …
