I finally got back to reading for fun, and last night I finished reading The First Patient. Basically, the book revolves around the doctor to the President trying to unravel a medical mystery. Gabe Singleton, a country doctor from Wyoming, is asked by Andrew Stoddard, his long-time friend and now President, to take the place …

Memorial Day Weekend
Enjoy the weekend everyone; the weather is supposed to be wonderful. Now if only gas prices weren’t so high…
Sprint Customer Service
I’m sure you’ve all seen the Sprint commercials with the CEO, Dan Hesse, walking around a city talking about a wireless revolution. The commercial ends with a screen showing an email address where people can send suggestions that Sprint could potentially implement. I’m sure they are getting flooded by emails, spam messages and such; but …
Google Advertising on Yahoo Publisher
I was going to write a blog post about something completely unrelated, but then I noticed this on my home page: That’s right, if you look at the second ad, you’ll see an advertisement for Google Ad Sense; and what’s that all the way at the top? “Ads by Yahoo!” I guess the Yahoo/Google deal …

For the last few weekends I’ve been busy doing stuff around the house, or helping my brother and sister-in-law with their new place. So having a weekend where I had nothing planned, and didn’t need to do anything was an excellent change. …
Blackberry Thunder
Research in Motion (RIM) recently announced the Blackberry “Thunder;” a touchscreen equipped Blackberry. I don’t see this being anything more than a niche device targeted towards professionally Blackberry users that want the touchscreen aspect of the iPhone. It will appeal to the Blackberry user that wants to get the iPhone, but can’t due to limitation …
Stimulus Money
So, I’m supposed to be getting a $600 direct deposit from the government as a part of the economic stimulus package. We’re supposed to get it tomorrow, so hopefully my bank account gets a nice bump at midnight. My basic plan is to buy the new 3G iPhone, when it gets released that is. But …
