Droid X Review and favorite Android Apps

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

I recently purchased the Motorola Droid X as my smart phone of choice. To start I’m going to say that I am completely happy with the phone. The build quality is amazing, the screen is great, switching over from a physical keyboard to a touch screen was effortless. In fact I’m writing the draft for this post completely on the WordPress App! The only things I dislike really are on the app side. The apps out right now are usually buggy, lacking design, and not all that useful all the time. I’m still waiting for that day when well know developers make great apps that will start to set standards for apps to come in the Android Market. But till then I’ll leave you with a few apps that I enjoy right now.

Philip Bloom Attacks Man in Buffalo

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Over the past weekend I took the two hundred some mile trip up to Buffalo, New York to meet up with some DSLR enthusiasts and Guru Philip Bloom. We all met at Duff’s Famous Wings in Depew, New York last Sunday to enjoy some buffalo wings, talk, and share DSLR info. It still amazes me that some 20 strangers can get together and have lunch and get along really well. Highlights of the whole thing would have to be watching Rob taste a death wing and almost cry, Philip actually eating a death wing, and me getting death wing sauce in my eye and needing Philip to pour water in my eye to help save it. I owe you one Philip.
