Motorola Z9 Is a Thick Cellphone Dense With Talent

The Z9 effortlessly satisfies the standard phone user, and pleases the rest of us with a couple extra perks. You get your e-mail and IM; you can listen to music from the microSD card or buy some more. Calls are above-average quality (trust us, we've been shouting into an iPhone for the last year). In addition to 2-megapixel shots and recording video, it can also video share -- send live video to other 3-G AT&T users, which is great for broadcasting scenes from your DIY fight club or natural disasters.

But the star of the show is the GPS. This is no cell-tower GPS Lite that only tells you what block you're on; this is the real deal, with turn-by-turn directions, live traffic info, access to the AT&T database for points of interest -- you know, stuff that's actually useful. If you don't want to punch in an address, just call the 877 number and speak it. On the downside, you will visibly age while it initializes, and it sometimes miscalculates your direction. Fortunately, goofs are few and far between and the Z9 picks up on them.
WIRED: Excellent call quality. Strong GPS capabilities. Lets you transmit (or receive) live video to other 3-G AT&T phones. Haptic feedback tickles.
TIRED: GPS can be slower than waiting for the Optimus Maximus. Pretty heavy. Proprietary headset/power connector = crap.

IRON MAN MOVIE REVIEW NO SPOILER

I went to see Iron Man with my son at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on Friday. The show was sold out and was deff worth the money. Iron Man Aka Tony Stark aka Robert Downey Jr. Is the perfect actor for the part. The Dude Jeff Bridges plays Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger is bald lmao but does a great job. Terrence Howard plays Jim Rhodes a military man and friend of Tony Stark and Gwyneth Paltrow plays Virginia 'Pepper' Potts Tony's right hand man. OK Person she is deff not a man baby. The CGI is incredible . I never read comic books as a kid so I'm glad I get to experience them on the big screen. A must see this summer. At the end of the day I give IRON MAN 2 big toes WAY UP and a pinkie toe in to boot.

2:30 am and cant sleep

I got to be at work at 7am and I'm wide awake but at 6am I'll be tired as hell wishing I could go to sleep. I love my new job so I will make it through the day and starting next week I go to all swing shift, So no more early weekend shifts for me. Hooray! J my middle boy turned 20 Thursday and my oldest SP, will be 23 on may 12Th and my youngest David will be 12 on may 13Th. My Boys are my world and have grown up into fine young men. I am a lucky man. My dad got his new computer. It is a dell with 2 gigs mem and 667 MHz 250 gig hard drive and a duel core motherboard. I lost my face plate to my car stereo. :( I paid 208 dollars for a damn speeding ticket and traffic school today. I seem to be hemorrhaging money lately. To continuing receiving this blog please send 1 no 2 dollars to me. Hell make it $10.00 Well it doesn't hurt to try. lol Thank GOD he gave me a job to be able to afford life's ups and downs. Catalina is getting closer and I'm excited. Well time to try to sleep. Peace and Love to all.

Movie Review August Rush (SPOILER ALERT)

Freddie Highmore Plays Evan Taylor AKA August Rush. Evan grows up in a foster home and is waiting for his parents to find him. Evan is a gifted young boy who can hear music all around him. His parents are musicians as well. His mom Lyla Novacek played by Keri Russell. is a cello player from Juilliard. Evans Dad Louis Connelly played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers who plays guitar and is the lead singer in a family band with his brother doesn't even know he has a son. Even wanders out into the world and gets lost but is found by Maxwell 'Wizard' Wallace played by Robin Williams
who's is a scam artist and has kids working for him peddling for money. Richard Jeffries played by Terrence Howard a social worker who cares and is looking to find Evan meets Lyla when she comes in to find her son who was put up for adoption by her dad and was told he baby died. Evan plays music in the park for money where he meets and jams on guitar with his dad. In the end they all meet up at a concert in the park that Evan has written and the philharmonic is playing. This film is very touching and heartwarming. At the end of the day i give this film two big toes way up and a pinky toe as well.

Movie Review Into The Wild (SPOILER ALERT)

Into The Wild. Written,Produced and Directed by Sean Penn. A young man graduates collage but doesn't want to live by society's rules. Emile Hirsch Plays Chris McCandless.
Marcia Gay Harden plays Chris's mom and William Hurt plays Chris's dad. Vince Vaughn and Hal Holbrook are a few other friends Chris meets along the journey in the film. Chris has a dream of living wild. Live off the land hunt and fish with no city, no stores. Chris leaves home and meets some good people along the way to his dream of living in Alaska. Chris learns some valuable lessons along the way. The cinematography is brilliant and the story is even better
SPOILER ALERT DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS.

Christopher Johnson McCandless (12 February 1968 – 18 August 1992) was an American wanderer who with little food and little equipment, hiked into the Alaskan wilderness to live a life of solitude. Less than five months later he died of starvation near Denali National Park. In 1996, Jon Krakauer wrote a book about his life, Into the Wild, which inspired a 2007 film of the same name directed by Sean Penn and starring Emile Hirsch as McCandless.
AT THE END OF THE DAY I GIVE IT TWO BIG TOES UP.

Life is good

I played poker for the 1st time in a year and remembered why I stopped playing. My job is going super well and i got the opportunity to help my dad get a new dell computer. I spent some time with one of my boys while the other was working. It would have been nice to have both of the them hang out. I will take what I can get since we all have busy schedules. My boys are awesome young men and i am very proud of them. Catalina is getting closer and the BBG picnic is the day after that so I'm really looking forward to both of those events. All 3 of my boys birthdays are coming up April 24Th may 12Th and may 13Th. I have not spoken to my youngest son since his mom got him back so its time to pressure the social worker to get a phone number. Today I have Grace Thanks to a very kind, powerful and loving GOD.

NEUROTIC AND LOUD NOISES

I have always been sensitive to noises especially loud noises. Needless to say they are doing repairs to our apt. bldg. Right now they are sand blasting and they started at 8am. Most people are at work and would come home to peace and quit and a little more work done but I work swing so I sleep later than most. Sandblasting is extremely loud and you cant even hear the TV. I have headphones in and can barley hear them. Thank GOD for Frosty Heidi and Frank. 97.1 free fm is always good for laughs. My 1st thought today was to go cut there hose so they cant work but instead i called a friend and went to breakfast. The headphones are working somewhat but i want to go back to sleep. I drive all night and lack of sleep is dangerous. The up side to this is the owner is putting everything new in our apts, dishwashers, new drywall, paint, carpet, kitchen bathrooms,ceiling fans,central air. The benefits out way the inconvenience of having to move into a new remodeled apt and putting up with the noise. Ho HUM.

A week in reflection

It has been a good week. There were a few snags along the way like getting a speeding ticket and a parking ticket in the the company car and all in the same week. I had a officer walk off post but not before disrespecting me and turning it into a race
thing . I don't know what his problem was but it seemed to me he brought it from home. Safe to say he wont be employed with us any more. I spent the week learning where all the accounts are and getting to know my officers. I visited about 40 officers or more and only one bad apple so over all it has been a positive week. My training officer and another field inspector in training and I all clicked well. We got today off with pay and have an 8 hour training seminar at 9am tomorrow. Tuesday I will be turned loose on my own and looking forward to it. I'm not real familiar with downtown la or bentwood area but ill pick it up. Peace and Love to all.
