Shovel? What is this of what you speak?
No shovels to be bought within walking distance... hence, whence and forewith. (My back is killing me!)

Motorola Droid: Android 2.1
I thought that when I got the Droid I was buying into an open source OS that would continually grow and eventually overtake the iphone. Of course, even with 2.0.1 I kinda feel it is a really close match.
That many on the forums say that they didn't think this was the case, etc, is just ludicrous.
Do I mind paying for OS updates? No. But that isn't even being talked about as an option.
And other than Motorola finally saying, hey, we haven't released any updates, there is no indication that Verizon or Motorola feel they owe Droid owners updates as they come out.
Granted, at some point the hardware won't support new updates... but are we at that point now? Wow, snap (dragon)...
Do no harm.
(Sure, buyer beware, no where did my contract say that buying a Droid would allow me to update to x version, etc, but that is something to think about if you are considering Droid over other smartphones.)
If V gets the iPhone or some version, I hope they consider a discount for current customers, and a plan, to use both phones. My freaking Touch apps rule. Jenny loves the device and if it dialed via Verizon Network we both would be in heaven.

Back at It
Back in the gym after a long month or so hiatus. Have been entertainingly distracted by a friend who is now encouraging me to get back in the gym. (Can't blame her, I can only take so much of myself, too).
No goal weight or anything this time around-other than to get in here at least twice a week.

Call me! But Not on Skype
Call Me!
By Joel Stein
As soon as you begin to talk, I feel trapped and desperately scan the room for tasks I can do to justify the enormous waste of time that is your talking. I wash dishes, I file receipts, I read news sites, I make little fake suicide faces to my wife Cassandra about how much I want to hang up that cause her to yell "Joel, I need you now" in a really unconvincing way that I've asked her not to do, but I still can't stop making the suicide faces.

Reddit: Help Me Fix My Last Picture of My Mom
Another reason to love Reddit. No dry eyes after this one... Response was off the hook and the photoshop fixes well done.

Just in case you need your fix!
Oops, back up now anyhow!

Only the Mother Can Decide
Other than to add that it should be a decision that the father is involved in - I agree it is totally the mothers decision and except for limited conditions (mother not legally sane, etc) anyone who says otherwise is wrong... Of course, if this were a court decision the RIGHT would start pursuing ways to make women deemed incompetent or insane regardless of the facts. Paternalistic, materialistic and amazingly stupid. God Bless the Right!
The Public Option is in Danger
Hi,
Alarming news: the public option could be dead within days, and we need Harry Reid to act fast to save it.
A few conservative Democrats, including Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman, are threatening to block health care reform -- all of it -- if the rest of the Democratic Caucus doesn't agree to drop or weaken the public option.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Senate Majority Leader Reid can still stop this, if he continues to fight. Reid has shown that he's willing to be a leader in fighting for the public option, and now we need him more than ever.
I signed a petition urging Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to up the pressure on conservative Democrats who are threatening to tank health care reform over the public option. Can you join me at the link below?
