New Toy

I just got a new cell phone, and it's the best phone I've seen yet. It's an LG VX8100 through Verizon. It cost $200, but after rebates will be free. The thing has 1GB+ of storage capacity (I bought a separate miniSD card), an MP3 player, video player, 1.3 megapixel camera, speakerphone, dual stereo speakers, and bluetooth. I have the entire current season of Family Guy, a few Chappelle show episodes, and some MP3s on it with ~600MB to spare. I've also successfully connected my laptop to the Internet over Verizon's National Access netowrk via Bluetooth. How sweet is that? I can get on the net on my laptop anywhere my phone has a signal pretty much!

Day 1

I moved into my new office today. It's a bit cramped right now, but all of the clutter and junk will be moved into a dedicated server room over the next few weeks. Then in goes my pictures, posters, mini-fridges and other nifty swag. Some pictures:

This job is not about glamour anyways. It's about opportunity and advancement. The growth potential is practically limitless. All went well and everyone seems really nice there. At least at this place the boss took me to lunch the first day instead of sending me to my desk for the next three years. We'll see how things go as the weeks go on, but things look good so far!
