I've had the iPhone 4S for just over a week now. I am very happily surprised by the new phone. Siri has been interesting, fun, and actually useful on occasion. The battery is incredible! Even after fiddling with it for ours I find that I still have 40 to 50% battery life left. That is a huge differe... Comment - Like

This week I had a major debate going on in my head. Last Spring when I upgraded my phone I bought a Droid X2 to replace my Droid X. I loved my X and thought that would be a great move. I was completely wrong. The X2 was not ready for release and all I had was problems for the time I had it. Once I r... Comment - Like

The worst day of my life was February 1st, 2002. It is the day that my mother passed away. And that day started long before her last breath was gone and didn't end after the 24 hours of February 1st were over. In fact, that day has yet to completely end and it probably never will.

I've been doing very well at watching my calories. Unfortunately, I found that I was watching them too well for a couple of days.
