Once AGAIN. . .

So...I know that it's been a little while since I did this.  Wasn't sure what to say.  Sometimes I can't just come up with interesting things, even though my mind is constantly going.


I decided yesterday to get the new Yoga 13 - Here's my Review first of Windows 8 - I really think it's going to take some getting used to.  I like it, but I'm learning it.  It is so so different from Windows anything..  People complained when they went from XP to Vista like crazy, it will be interesting to see how the general public actually handles this change.

Now my review of the coolest computer/tablet every...Seriously - I can not tell you how exciting it is that this is touchscreen, but I will never again be able to use a regular PC/monitor/laptop.  I would look like the dummies that click the mouse on the monitor when you tell them to click on something.  Anyway, this device is spectacular.  I cannot help the geek in me.  I love technology and  I don't think that will ever change.


Now though, since there isn't an endless amount of fundage to my crazy purchases, I will be selling my XPS 13 - probably $650 if anyone is interested, and I will be selling my Galaxy Note 1 for probably $400.   If I don't get offers on these quick, I'll be ebaying them.  I also have some other electronics to sell.  I have a iPod Touch 1st edition (without the camera) - I'm thinking $50 for that.  I also have the iPod nano - small orange one not the latest but the one before this (6th gen  and I think 8G) - I'd part with that for $100 - Also have chargers for all.  The XPS and the Galaxy Note - even have original boxes and they are pristine.  Actually the Note is nearly brand new, since I just got the Best Buy replacement on it recently.  

Alright so I have to give a review of a new yogurt also.  Yopa! - Okay - not a big fan. I'm not sure why I switch, Chobani is the best.  Yopa! you can get that have nuts to put in it..and that's why I got it with it's chopped almonds.  It was okay, but I'm glad I have Chobani for the rest of this weeks breakfasts.

SMARGLET.....Samsung Galaxy Note...yes, I have one. .

That's right...I am a huge friggin' geek.  I don't care.

I got my Note this weekend, which I did name "Smarglet"...My reasoning..he's a smart phone and a tablet and I'm a little like Smeagol so I combined all three. If you say it like Smeagol would.."Shhmmmaaarrrggllet."

My quick review..
The screen is huge.  It really does seem tablet like.  I won't be able to take it with me to the gym unless I plan on reading a book.  I don't like how 'Sims Freeplay' doesn't work for it.  I was just getting into that game.  The screen is bright and beautiful and so far the battery life isn't seeming any worse than my Atrix really.  At first I thought it was an issue, but after shutting off some battery hogging apps like news, it seems better.  For whatever reason it works better in my car.  It allowed me to put a playlist as link on my home and my car automatically recognizes it.  I'm liking that.  The stylus is kind of neat, but I'm not sure how often I'll use it.  I did use it for "Color Pop" today - It's smaller than a finger tip obviously, so that worked well.  I also wrote a quick note to myself on the screen.  Like that too.  I really enjoy the camera on this device.  Seems much nicer and clearer than any I've had before.
I will update you more of anything I think is cool as I find it.

So by getting a new phone.  Jenn has my Atrix now, and Zacheriah has her iPhone 4.  It was a change all around.  For sure I know Zach is happy, but so far Jenn and I are well.. missing the old and liking but not loving the new.  It'll take a week or so.

Said goodbye again to someone wonderful today.  I will see her again soon, but for me that never seems soon enough.  Oh well, it was a wonderful weekend.

I'm an addict . . .

Okay..I have to confess a few things.
Android (Google) is so cool, but I am a little obsessed.
Seriously, my heart pitter patters with each new release, and even the news of something new.  You know that feeling you get when you just start dating someone, or the feeling you have when there is electricity in your touch.  I really really do have sort of the same feelings with Google.  I am going to look at the new Galaxy Note by Samsung.  Yes, I know that it's a 5.3" screen, and yes I know that is huge, but I also know that I did not buy an Android tablet.  I also am in love with the stylus idea, and why..I know it's crazy..It's new and I want one..and yeah, I'm obsessed and crazy, but I might hold it in my hand and think, "no this doesn't work for me," so we'll see.  The note releases in two days.  I'll update on my thoughts about it once I've held it in my hand.

I am a geek, and I can't help it.  Don't judge me.  So Nate sent me something cool again.  http://pocketnow.com/android/android-50-jelly-bean-coming-second-quarter-of-2012-report . . . . .I'm so so so excited for this. "Another strange bit reported is that Android 5.0 will support dual-operating system designs, meaning that a tablet or slate will be capable of running both Windows 8 and Android 5.0"  How awesome is that?  It means I can get my Slate and run Android or Windows...AWESOME..  How can that place keep making me so happy?
Also, Atrix users, there is an OTA update available.  (4.5.141)  I am not too excited about this one though.  Looks like mostly security fixes and memory functions.  Who knows? I'll check it out tonight and let you know if I find
anything awesome with it.

Some other exciting great news.  There is one person in the world that I feel most comfortable with.  She is like a carbon me a lot only much more beautiful, and she knows me more than any other person on earth.  Not the me that you all see all the time, but the me inside....I get to hug her tomorrow.  My Jenn is staying the weekend.    We talk every day, but that's not the same as being with someone.  Love you babes.
