New Phone

I got this interesting browser for my phone, it's a sort of 3-D kind of interface, check out this video.


It's a little jerky but this is a 2X version of the original video so it's running twice as fast as real time. I really like this phone I have to say, more of a mini computer than a phone since we have AT&T at our house or as I like to refer to them, "No Bars in More Places" phone service, so using a phone for talking isn't all that easy. Since this phone is wifi connected I can use it around the house running off of our wireless system. I just love technology!

Computer age

Yep, we are in the computer age.  When you can make a cryptic representation of your personal data that looks like this

my info

you know you are playing with electrons.  This thing is called a QR code.  If you have a program that reads these things they will tell you what data they hold.  In this case this graphic has all my personal contact information and I made it so I could play around with a new app I got for my phone called a tag reader but unfortunately I have only been able to read one tag and not this one.  I do happen to know what kind of information is in this but not because I saw it on this new app.  Anyway, I just think this stuff is way cool.
