I really dislike rechargable batteries. Not necessarily the standard sizes (AA, C, D, etc.), but all those weird batteries found in most portable electronic devices these days. I was in the airport last Tuesday when I realized that I had forgotten the charger for my Treo. The battery in the older Treo 300 is not …
I bought my Treo 650 today. Well, kinda. I ordered it from Amazon. Here’s the problem. Shipping estimate: December 22, 2004 – January 5, 2005 I’m really hoping that Amazon is being pessimistic about this since some people got their phones today.

I’ve heard a few people say they would go to extremes if Bush wins the election. Just in case he does, here’s a link those people might want to keep handy. You were serious, right?
I never thought I’d see those words together. I tend to be pretty conversative in my views and that means that I usually vote Republican. But this election is different. I did what I usually do before voting absentee – I take some of the online quizzes about my views and then see how they …
