Halloween at PetsMart

Charlie attended the Halloween parade and costume contest at PetsMart yesterday and had a really good time! He went as a knight and everyone seemed to love his costume. We stopped by PetsHotel so the people there that know him could see him and they were all very excited and happy to see him. He's going back there Saturday night through Sunday since Cathee and I will be hiking in Joshua Tree for the day.

Here's a picture of Charlie in all his knighted glory:

While the costume seemed well received, he didn't place in the contest. There were three winners and unfortunately Charlie didn't make it in the top three. It was disappointing, especially because you could win a $20 (1st), $10 (2nd), or $5 (3rd) gift certificate for placing! I'm thinking that maybe it was a conflict of interest since most of the employees there know him by name and it wouldn't have seemed fair to give it to him. At least that's what I tell myself. How could a cute dog like him in such an awesome costume not win?

Gmail Tasks makes me accountable to myself

I really love Gmail's relatively new Tasks feature. It's an incredibly easy way for me to set up reminders for things that I need to do, stuff that I need to buy, questions I need to ask, and everything else. The native iPhone interface is to die for. It is extremely fast and easy to create new tasks, modify existing ones, or mark one as completed. As efficient and accomplished as this makes me feel, it's kind of sad to realize that the sometimes-important tasks that I create would likely not have ever been completed if I didn't have a nice little tasks pop-in window in Gmail. At least I'm actually getting things done, right? Seeing an unchecked tasks that's been there for more than a day really pushes me to get it done so that I can check it off and take it off my mind. Thanks, Google, for making me more productive. I'm sure my wife and boss appreciate it, too.

Stuck with the iPhone

Of course. When I'm hating the iPhone the most and fed up with how terrible of a device it really is, there's nothing that I can do about it. I tried to get away from it. I just got back from the local T-Mobile store with a brand new G1 , but of course that can't work out. Unfortunately T-Mobile's 3g cover age in my apartment is abysmal. Their website said that I would get 3 bars of coverage, but I'm lucky to hang on to 2 and usually see just 1. Fantastic. I guess I'm just destined to live with a subpar device that's proven to be unreliable, over-hyped, and flat out boring. I haven't even used the thing in about 3 days. It's been sitting in my pant's pocket wherever I go and I can't be bothered to take it out. The most usage it's seen is when I took it out to show my background to my boss (it's a picture of my dog) when he asked about the physical picture of my dog on my desk at work. I'm too frustrated with it to care enough to c...

Amazon just saved me $360!

With the release of Kindle for iPhone yesterday Amazon just gave me an awesome economic stimulus by saving me $360 in all of about two seconds. Now instead of techno-lusting over the new Kindle 2 , I've got my own awesome eBook reader - the iPhone. Sure, it doesn't have a huge screen or awesome e-ink, but it'll do. The font size is changeable and swiping the screen to flip pages is neat. There's other eBook readers for the iPhone, but they're nothing compared to the Kindle application for the iPhone, and Amazon's Kindle books are way cheaper than any other eBooks I've found. I don't read enough books in a few years to justify the cost of a Kindle 2, but now Amazon has found a way to still make money off of light readers like me. Maybe I'll finally get around to finishing the 9/11 Commission Report (it's only $0.99!) and reading The Audacity of Hope .
