I’m typing this on my Droid Incredible. A blog post. From my phone. And it takes pretty kick ass photos. And does email. Hell, there is even an app that will let me take remote control of your pc or Mac. FROM MY TELEPHONE!
a device who’s main function is wireless voice communications.
Most of you can do this too. Sure, we don’t have flying cars, but we do have telephones that do damned near everything but fly.
Thats just cool.
I went in and corrected typos on my Mac. Phones aren’t perfect yet.

Since last Saturday I have driven from LA to Phoenix to Las Vegas to Salt Lake City to Grand Junction to Winter Park to Denver. All told, close to 1500 miles logged on the MINI I drove and it has been an epic experience!
Meeting new friends, catching up with old, brilliant scenery and, of course, this fantastic little car called the MINI Cooper have made it an experience unlike any other.
I’m off to enjoy MTTS for the weekend. Just wanted to take a quick minute to check in with the internet. Keep watching at White Roof Radio. We aren’t done yet!

n - Any message sent or received via touch-screen enabled smart phone where auto-correct on the device has made changes to a word, sometimes with comical results.
It was back in August of 2010. MINI Takes the States was just starting and my friend was out having cocktails in the City of Brotherly love. A barrage of text-messages were flying from coast to coast for most of the evening when I thought I would be clever with a text message very much like the following.
Have fun you drunk bastards
Enter the new HTC Incredible that had been in my possession for about 2 weeks. It’s auto-correct works very well, but it doesn’t know certain words. Expletives to be sure, but also a few others.
Like bastards.
Since I wasn’t used to checking the output from an auto-correcting phone, the message you read above it the message I thought I sent. The actual message received was the following.
Have fun you drunk mustards
Good times.

That is about my rate as well for a pirated copy. Please don’t ask!
Client: ”How much do you charge to install Windows on a computer?”
Me: “$85”
Client: ”Is it going to be legal?”
Me: ”Yes.”
Client: “How much do you charge for a pirated copy?”
Me: ”$10,000 or 10 years in prison.”
