And It Matches My Car!
This past week I joined the 21st century. I purchased a smart phone… specifically, a Blackberry Curve. And yes, I got the version with the “magnetic red” cover so it matches my car.
I have to tell you that I’m really excited about this, more than any other new toy in quite a long time. I now get nightly emails from my web sites telling me how many pages were served, how many comments were made, how many new users registered, and all sorts of stuff like that. Earlier today I was going to meet someone for dinner, so while at my desktop I pulled up a mapping web site and located the restaurant. From there I emailed the information directly to my phone, and figured that I was all set. I had the map, I had the address and phone number, what could go wrong?
Well, the map was wrong, and the phone number sent me to a fax machine, and the restaurant was nowhere near the place it was supposed to be.
It just goes to show that no matter how good your technology is, with bad data you still get bad results.
I got the full data plan and already have hooked up 5 different email accounts to my phone. I have posted to my blog from beside a swimming pool. I have sent email from a bus. I have IM’d people. I am really having a good time with this.
