Alt + Ctrl + 0 The Princess Unicorn site is pretty nice. The shirts are totally worth it.

Getting a G1 Phone: Part 2
To review we got G1 phones at walmart and were told they would work in 4 hours. That did not happen.
So te next day we truck on over to the T-mobile kiosk where hopfully they know what they are doing. They are clearly annoyed we went to walmart.
So it seems walmart make 2 key mistakes. We wanted to transfer our old numbers from verizon, which takes “48 hours”, so we needed temporary numbers in the mean time. Thoes numbers were never added. We also, of course, wanetd a data plan. Walmart said we only needed one data plan. I wanted that to be true and so belived it. But of course it is not true, you need 1 data plan for each phone.
Never the less the t-mobile person ended up trying to add a second data plan. I still could not login to my google account on either mine or keri’s phone.
Basicly they told us our account was locked untill our numbers transfered. So we went home to wait till saturday when then 48 hours is up.
Right when I got home I tried to login to my phone and it worked. Keri’s phone still does not. We are getting closer.
This is am amazing article that looks at gay marriage from the point of view of creating a database. This is definitely the most refreshing and interesting look in to marriage in general I have seen in a while.
In lue of real information about The Office spinoff, that I think is no longer an Office spinoff, Aziz justs starts giving out fake information. I don’t do well with McDonalds metaphors.
I Had a Similar Reaction To ANTM This Season
too funny.
Arrested Development film seems to be happening. I hope it goes well. Not sure who the target audience is for this. Besides the people who watched the TV show.
Getting a G1 Phone: Part 1
My god I hope this series does not have many parts.
Keri and I decided to buy our google phones in Walmart for the discount. We knew there could be problems as we are currently with verizon and wanted to transfer our numbers. A lot to handle for walmart employees.
They were nice enough and two hours later we had our phones and were out the door. We were assured that in three to four hours our phones would be working.
Now three to four hours later we have google phones that will not let us sign in. Awesome.
I tried to call several T-mobile help numbers but all said they did not recognise my verizon number. So I guess I’m off to a t-mobile store tommarow. I hope we’re at least in thier data base of customers.
The fact that online (and especially youtube) interest in Harry Potter seems to cross over with Twilight alot is pretty frusterating. Though as time goes on more and more “fans” seem to becoming at least down on the side of “awesomely bad”. Over at i09 they have a very good take down of why the movie is a faithful adaptation of a poorly written book. Hint: it’s mostly weak characterization.
Perhaps you have heard that Obama’s FCC transition co-chair is a WoW player. This is his character and here is some thought in to what his play style says about him as a person.
It’s amazing how many ways people can screw up voting. I’m not sure how they ever passed a standarised test either.
How To Subscribe To A Youtube Channel With No Videos
First off why youtube does not let you subscribe to any channel is beyond me. Second off finding out how to do this was much harder then it should have been.

All you need to do to subscribe to any channel is to change the username at the end of the above url. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
Never Start an Argument
The old phrase was:
“Never argue with a man who buys ink by the gallon.” (luckily women who bought ink that way were still fair game :P)
The new phrase should be:
“Never start an argument with someone who buys bandwidth by the gigabyte.”
Though as bandwidth prices drop this will eventually just become:
“Never start an argument with someone.”
iPhone – The Submarines – You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie
So back in July Apple came out with an iPhone commercial with The Submarines and Keri and I freaked out as we were in love with them. We had just seen them in nyc a month before and I had been listening to the new album almost non stop since Amazon let me download it.
Not long after that we saw them in concert again (opening for Aimee Mann) and got to talk to Blake (John was hiding in the back) about the iPhone commercial. Blake was super excited and we mentioned it was sad it was just the instrumentals. Blake pointed out that the lyrics didn’t really lend it self to selling phones.
Fast forward to now and You, Me, and the Bourgeoisie has basically become the theme song for the iPhone as it’s been in several more commercials. The big news is that now Apple shows off the Shazam app by having it detect the song in the commercial and bring you to the The Submarines iTunes page. So congrats to Blake and John. Come back to NYC soon.
