Arizona, take off your rainbow shades (2/24/2010)
Well, we made Arizona today. After a home-cooked breakfast in the trailer, we left Rialto at about 8:30 AM. We traveled east through San Bernadino all the way to Indio, where we stopped for fuel, a grocery store run, and then lunch at Panda Express — Roseann’s favorite. Then back on the road bound for [...]
Time for a personal update
As most of the legions of my readers know, we’ve been docked in Van Nuys, California for the past two years, while I worked at Geni, Inc. The job at Geni ended in mid January, so some choices needed to be made. One choice was to look for a job in the LA area close [...]
Cradlepoint MBR900 Router
My Cradlepoint MBR900 router showed up today. It seems like a typical wifi router, with one extra feature. If you plug in your USB cellular data device, it’ll use it for a WAN source, and share it out to all connected users. (I figure that wifi security is a good thing in this mode :) [...]
A link… to me!
I got linked to. I recently made some comments on another blog about changes in the LADOT CitiRide program, and when they were picked up by The Bus Bench, I found that Browne had linked my name with my blog. Unfortunately, I never blogged about this, just commented elsewhere, so if you’re coming over here [...]
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum
We’ve lived in the San Fernando Valley for 18 months now, and we recently had our attention called to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. I’ve never been a fan of President Reagan. His politics and priorities didn’t line up with mine very well. The idea of going to his museum didn’t really resonate [...]
Ten Years Ago Today
I remember Y2K. The year before the century turned. 1999. For those of you less than 14 years old, this may not be a big blip in your consciousness. For anybody older than about 16 or 17, looking back from 2010, it certainly was. I remember the all the hype and worry, all the noise [...]
My Droid Apps (as of now)
I thought I’d list some Android apps that have made me happy…. Astro – a file manager. Poke around your Droid Bank of America – Do online banking. Better keyboard – an alternate popup keyboard. This was about three bucks. I think the keyboard it offers is a bit easier to use than the stock [...]
Comments on the Droid
Well, nobody ever said writing text on the Droid would be easy, and it’s not, so back to the desktop for this post. On Friday Nov 6, I was third on line at the Verizon Store in Panorama City to buy my Motorola Droid. I’ve been asked what I think, and all I can say [...]

I upgraded my phone to a Motorola Droid. This is a post from the Droid WordPress app.
