The Droid Cometh

So yesterday I received my first phone upgrade in almost 2 years, Verizon’s new Motorola Droid. So far there really are only two things that I can say negative about it.

1. The antenna is noticeably weaker than it was in my Blackberry 8830. However, the 8830 has the best cellular antenna on any phone I have ever seen so it wasn’t a surpise to me.

2. The keyboard is just slightly smaller than I would have liked. But again, it is huge in comparrison to the minute keyboard on the 8830. In fact this post was placed using the Droid.

The email app also doesn’t seem to support rulesets, but again this isn’t a huge issue.

The good attributes are simply too long to list. The screen is amazing! And video plays with seemingly HD quality. The unit is very responsive and I am generally in love with it.

I cannot as of yet give an accurate account of battery life as today is the first day of a full charge, but I will let you know later.

Pics follow, sorry for their quality. I only had access to a camera phone. ;)

Basic Geek Survival – Zombie 101

seal Tor.com has a funny little piece by Zachary Rich on how geeks can survive the looming zombie-apocalypse. It’s funny, read it. Also check out Zach’s pod cast Geek Survival Guide.

It’s pretty good, with titles like “How to Survive:”
