Bones December 13th 2005

Anybody see Bones on Fox the other night?

Man, I wish I could pull stuff off my new HD DVR. There were a ton of great clips during the show that would be great to use. It was really unusual to see a show even address Christ's birth in today's media... I thought it was awesome. It almost reminded me of a Charlie Brown's Christmas.

Speaking of new Toys

I got one too! I got the new 60 GB video Ipod from GodIpod.com Props to my new buddy Tim for helping me out! I'm digging it other than I didn't do a good job in the past with my ID tags for my mp3 files. So my songs are all over the place and it's a little hard to find something when I'm looking for it while driving down the road.
I got it preloaded with the Message Remix bible and that it pretty awesome to just be able to listen to the Word.

There are several podcasts now that are available for free through Itunes and I thought it would be a better investment in my time to listen to those while driving down the road instead of what was on the radio.

Here are some of the podcasts that I'm subscribed to.

New toy for Mike

Mike and I went to get him hooked up with a Blackberry last Thursday. I have one right now for the company that I'm contracted with and I've had one in the past. Blackberry has really come a long way, especially if you are using the enterprise version of it (which we're not with Rock Spring).

This does several things for Mike.
1. He can stay in touch with the rest of the team (via e-mail AND cell) when he's working 16 hours on the building.
2. We got the Bluetooth device so he can be on the phone with someone and be hands free and cord free. (This was because it scared me to death when he told me that he was on the phone with someone for 2 hours while hanging drywall on the ladder perched in the bucket of backhoe!!!)
3. All PDA functions...

The only thing that would make this thing better for him is if it had voice recgonition so that he could dictate his e-mail into it, since he doesn't type that well.
