Cell phones… nokia and iPhone…
I love nokia phones. I really like the symbian OS too. I think I just like the concept of an OS where I can install apps and whatnot and do whatever. Oh, and it isn't an MS OS, which I won't do. So I have a nokia. My wife has a nokia. My kid has my on of our old nokias as a toy. My mom has one. My sister has one. I tell everyone that they need nokias. When people who bought RAZR's finally get fed up with that piece of crap phone, I tell them to go nokia.
So when the iPhone was announced I was conflicted. I also love apple. But the whole lack of installable software pissed me off to a degree that I knew I wasn't going actually get one. I took the money and bought car parts and bike parts instead.
As the iPhone hit the market and I got more into it, there was a tinge of desire there I will admit, but then I remembered, while I sat on the can playing solitaire on my nokia, that I could do that on an iPhone, but I would have to be hitting a web page. Meh.
Then I got this link today, and I found it really funny. And really the points are all valid. Sure, it is a bit over the top, it is all valid. And really pretty in line with my feelings and thoughts. Sure, he does better animated GIFs than I do, but I am ok with that.
Mash Ups Rule
So I am sure I have mentioned this to anyone I have spoke with in the last 6 months, but I love mashups. LOVE. It gets funny when I go somewhere and I hear an original, not the mashup, and I am all confused because the song is all wrong. My current listen is this Iron Maiden Mashup Album from Celebrity Murder Party that I got word of from Mashuptown. It has the Call Me Phantom track that I was jonesing over the last couple weeks. I mean, I still think the Party Ben stuff is better overall, but CMP is good too. It is fun to have the more metal angle though versus the more dance stuff.
Falwell dies, everyone who is not an asshole cheers.
I hate Jerry Falwell. Not that I am going out on a crazy limb to say that, but yeah. Needless to say, while I don't usually cheer when people die, we are better off without him. Hatred is hatred, regardless of what 'religion' you are hiding behind. While I am an atheist, I respect the right people have to free speech and religious beliefs. My stance is I won't tell you my beliefs and you don't tell me yours.
But overall, I think he was incredibly negative. Glad to see him gone. I hope his flock of fools wanders away and realizes that they have been led around by a bigot.
Here is a list of great quotes from Jerry.
