Bluetooth Headset

by

I went ahead and ordered a bluetooth headset yesterday. I should get it today before I leave the office. I went with the Sony Ericsson HBH-65. It was either that or the Motorola one or another no name brand. None of them had perfect scores on the reviews I read. The SE I got actually has distance issues with the bluetooth antenna. I don’t plan on being that far away from the phone. My biggest requirements were good voice quality, and a comfy fit. This headset should do that.

I liked my old Motorola one but it broke last year after a night of drinking. I think I threw my bag down on the floor somewhere and it cracked the headset. oh well. The prices have gone on them though. This one was only $103, plus shipping. The motorola one I got back in December 2002 was almost $200. the old HBH-10 I got when bluetooth headsets came out was over $200. Lets hope this one works as advertised…

Last Day Before The Forth

by

Today is my last day in the office before the 4th weekend. I am in kingston tomorrow and friday for some network work. I have to get allot done today since jayson is still not back. He should have left New Orleans today for his trip back.

Once I return, full time packing for me!

Fire Dept Activity

by

Not sure what was going on, but there was a fire trick and crew at my rail road station this morning. It was weird. Like 6 guys walking on the other platform and then they were huddled near something. Not sure what. Their was no obvious fire. Nothing suspicious. as my train left the station it looked like they were looking up the embankment or tree near the station. Maybe something got caught in the tree. It was interesting enough to keep the morning exciting!

This is what I get for taking the early train.

UPDATE: As I got to penn station I heard an announcement that all trains on my line were delayed now because of fire department activity. Must have been something going on after all.

iMac Will Stay, For Now

by

I have decided to keep the iMac for now. I decided that I do like it, and I do use it. Any other solution won’t be that great right now. So instead of investing more money in something else, I will keep what I have.

I do need another firewire hard drive though. My Lacie 200 Gig drive is running low on space. My other 160 gig drive in my PC only has 8 gigs free. I think I can get another 200 gig firewire drive for around $200. I will wait till after I move to pick it up. I am trying to save this month. So far I am doing ok, but there is several things I need to buy that I am waiting to spend money on.
