I guess the big news from Friday is that I finally upgraded to an android
phone: a Pantech Burst from AT&T. They were able to confirm that it'll be
upgraded to ICS, and it's smaller and lighter than either of the two I'd
been considering. The screen is gorgeous. The one thing I don't like is
that the clock widget isn't as good as the one on the HTC phone I have at
work; that's annoying; there really doesn't seem to be a good equivalent.
(The HTC widget includes alarms and a desk clock. Pantech's links to the
calendar, which is useful, but I miss having quick access to the desk
clock. Fortunately there are lots of great, free widgets out there.)
I got my phone at lunchtime; needless to say I didn't get as much writing
done that afternoon as I'd intended. Yesterday afternoon I went out and
got a microSD card for it. I also made dinner (red snapper and brussels
sprouts, with a rather bright guacamole as appetizer), made our hotel
reservations for Westercon, and decided to go up to Seattle for
Norwescon.
No walk, but no depression, either. I'll take it.
