El Diablo is starting to get a little bit better and I am starting to feel the creative juices return. On Monday I will return to the wonderful world of witty, wacky, and wondiferious writing. Until then expect more drivel. Hey -- at least I'm actually writing something again.

I find it amazing that I, a gadget addict, am using the same phone that I bought 8 years ago.

For nearly 8 years I've been saying, "What I want is just around the corner." If all goes as planned I will soon officially retire the 6190 in favor of the MPx220 or the C500.

I can't wait.
