Post Slow Down? Blame the following…

I know – since Snow Watch III the posting has slowed down a good bit.  That is typically a result of things going at light speed in other areas and this time is no different.  I’ve been installing Windows 7 on all my machines (work and home) and am happy to report that I like it.  It is a huge improvement from Vista and even makes my XP machine run better than it was.  A couple of small things aren’t working as a result of the upgrade but they were near useless additions anyway (my TV tuner card isn’t working properly).

I upgraded the phone against the advice of almost everyone I know to an Android instead of an iPhone.  So far it is great – I’ve spent every waking hour since I got it figuring out new and different things to do with it.  From what I can tell it does everything I would want an iPhone to do and it came with a shockingly smaller price tag both for the device and the service.  I’ll keep you posted on whether or not I still feel strongly about it after the new wears off.  I’m interested in how you use your smart phone – I am working on making this site “Touch” compatible.  It should work for iPhone and Droid users now – trying to figure out how to make it work for Blackberry users as well.

Finally – I am in the planning stages for what might be the most awesome St. Patrick’s Day float EVER.  I know last year’s Cheers float will be hard to beat but Space Ireland and the Shamrocket are extremely promising.  I’ll hopefully be posting new images as they become available of the work.  Shout out to BobG for making a historic find and getting a lot of what will become the structure of the rocket.  This one is not going to be one to miss.  More posts coming soon – including an official write-up on Windows 7 and the droid.  Stay tuned.
