KRZR - disconnected thoughts

So I am just getting over the cold now.

Bought new cell phones last week and we love them, we got the Motokrzr from Motorola. It has a 2 mp digital camera built right in and it is super thin so it does not look like you have a brick in your pocket.

Tried out a new Sushi place across the street from us tonight called Hoshi, it was really good/authentic. The best thing is that we can walk to it!

Marsha's Birthday

Went to Menera Moroccan Restaurant in San Jose for Marsha's birthday. It was pretty cool, you sit on the floor and eat with your hands. For more pics click here.

What's new today???

Well my old phone number finally 'ported' over to my new phone company, Packet 8 (www.packet8.net) which is a Voip service (Voice over the internet protocol).

I cannot update my website right now as googlepages is acting wierd. I can only update my blog.

We went to OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) last night and bought a apple tree and a plum tree to plant out back. We also bought some worms to start a compost bin.

Going for my annual physical tomorrow and getting the ole cholesterol checked. I think I am in better shape than last year though.

Anyway it is going to reach 20 degrees celsius here today so spring has started I guess.

Comcast in NL???

So my internet was slow tonight and I called Comcast for customer service. The lady on the other end had a strange accent. I did not know where in America I had called but she did not sound American. Usually Comcast tech support is close by like in San Jose. This lady sounded strange but oddly familiar until finally I had to ask where she was located. My suspicions were correct, she was in Newfoundland and talking in the native tongue! Here I was a transplanted Newfoundlander living in Santa Clara, California calling my internet service provider, Comcast cable only to speak to a tech support person in St. John's, Newfoundland. Man globalization is funny.

Belkin Wifi phone

So I bought a wifi phone for use with my Skype service. This phone is pretty cool. The biggest drawback so far is that you cannot upload more ringtones, you cannot text message and sometimes when you call there is an echo. The calls are super clear however and loud. This makes a great travel companion as you do not need a computer only access to a wireless internet network. The phone signs you into skype and you can make your phone calls. $14.95/year to call Canada and the US unlimited is pretty good, even if there is a bit of an echo.

Wolf article in National Wildlife Federation magazine

To me wolves are the perfect animal...they are social animals, they mate for life, they are highly intelligent, and great hunters. Wolves actually will keep a herd of caribou strong by killing the old and the sick but they don't just eat deer. When Farley Mowat lived with wolves in Canada's arctic he was surprised to see that a huge portion of their diet consisted of lemmings or mice.

A wolf is natures template from which all of the genetically selected animals we know as Dogs descended from. A wolf is a dog in its purest form, with no man made selections for personality, cuteness, size, shape or whatever. It baffles me why so many people fear these animals. No doubt is has to do with theIR portrayal in movies, works of fiction and even Christianity (lambs represent innocence and wolves kill lambs so they must be bad or evil). Anyway, I am not a Christian so I find this view no more accurate that the story of little red riding hood.

Wolves need our protection. Please click here to read this great article.
