For those that have touch screen phones, and live in the cold knows the frustration between having warm fingers and using your phone. Many people simply choose to use their phone, and keep their hands in their pocket when not in use.
Well, I have come across a pair of gloves that is hopefully functional, and stylish enough where I won’t be ashamed to use it. The problem with capacitive screens which is what most phones have is that they require an electrical current from the fingers. This is why they don’t have a stylus. It is this problem (and the bulk of many warm gloves) that makes it impossible to use.

I have been in what I called a plague with iTunes. Every time I turn around, it demands to update, but when I update, it only takes longer for it to load. It is to the point where I refuse to use it unless I am updating my iPod. Well, I am happy to say I am one step closer to dropping iTunes.
For a while, iTunes was my podcast feed. This was especially true with videos. However, I have now moved all of the podcasts I had to compliant versions that Google Reader would use. This would mean the next time I start iTunes (probably tomorrow), I would compare the feeds in iTunes, and the feeds in Google Reader to make sure I have everything.

I had just read an article on the Wall Street Journal where florists are in a manic stupidity on the idea that people would get something other than flowers for people on Valentine’s Day. Why would anyone get something other than flowers? Well, maybe flowers eventually die. Keep in mind that when you buy a rose from a florist, they hand you a flower that has its roots cut off. This eventually kills the flower. Yes, the florist kills the flower. This does a couple of things.
- It provides a continuously needed resource. Simply put, you have to pay the $2 or more for the one rose.
- It requires you to buy these items at the last minute. This means that holidays such as Valentine’s Day allows the florist to sky-rocket the price, and there is nothing you can do about it.

I doubt it, but there are a couple of people who have some interest in how I do my day. It would depend on a few things. If I have appointments, or errands, they take precedence of course. Typically, I do these things as well as any shopping in the morning.
However, on a normal day, it is actually rather boring. On the weekdays, my alarm would ring off at 6:00AM. Yes, I know I don’t have to do anything like go to work, but to stay in bed is simply not productive.

I have come across an Android Guy’s article where Gigabyte (known for PC motherboards) is going to build a phone and sell it for 9,000 rubles (about $300) or $100 less than the MyTouch, or Motorola Cliq. And while that would seem like a bargain, once I get to the specs, it won’t seem much like one. And mind you, while my phone is not the latest and greatest (July ‘09), and was designed in my opinion with some budget specs, it is well worth the $100 in extra costs.
