Blogging From Android

It’s been a while since I last posted here. I thought life would slow down after BMX nationals in May, but life just seemed to get busier. Well I have a little bit of time this weekend…no BMX, no major plans and a day off on Monday. So here I am, blogging from my new Samsung Galaxy S.

This is the phone I really needed a couple of years ago when I got my Blackberry. After a week with it, I highly recommend it to anyone looking at a new smartphone.

The phone runs on the Android platform which has been developed by Google. With the app store for it (Android Market) catching up with the Apple App store for content, this phone is a real contender when you put it up against the iPhone4.

One of the things I love about the phone is the Swype method of text input. When some people, often iPhone fanboys, see me using Swype they ask me what I am doing. I show them and they just have to have a go. They love it. In fact, this whole article has been written using Swype.

So there you go. Blogging from my Samsung Galaxy S. Great phone, great platform. Expect more blog posts from me on the go now!

2009 UCI BMX World Championships – Elite Men’s Main Video

Here is the Freecaster coverage of the the Elite Men’s final from the 2009 UCI BMX World Championships.

DPS Assignment – A Mistake

OK, plenty of mistakes in my catalogue, but not really anything good. I like this one though that came about when messing around with exposure levels and auto bracketing. I was shooting the sunset over Melbourne from my balcony.

It is a mistake because it is too dark, grainy and perhaps too silhouetted,  plus there is lens flare. But I like it for the color, the definition of the clouds, the details such as the cranes and the landmarks I can identify by their silhouettes!

My YouTube Favorites – An Engineer’s Guide To Cats

I have two cats, so they are friends! One is medium to large, the other is compact, but they are similar ratios.

I am fairly sure their hobbies are lounging around and bird watching. The big one is not very good at the ‘I’m not paying attention to you’ game, but the little one is. Corporal cuddling only seems to results in drawing blood.

Kitty Got Mad Skills

I LOLed when I saw this at the end of today’s DJ Kitteh video on Ican has cheezburger.

I’ve run out of Monday Funnies

Quick…break glass in case of emergency…

I was pointed in the direction of 27b/6 by the boss (the one from home, not work) and the very first post I read cracked me up. Then I read a few more and I was in hysterics. There are quite a few to get through, so this should keep me going for a few weeks. Let me know which is your favorite.

Monday Funny

I love this one…

Two fish are in a tank.

One says to the other “I’ll man the guns, you drive”

What do you call a fish with no eyes?

My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli.

He was pulled in by a strong currant.

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 bucks that he couldn’t reach the meat off the top shelf.

He said, “No, the steaks are too high.”
