Well I have barely kept the ol' blog going for two years. I plan on keeping it up and running. School is kicking my bootie with writing, so I don't feel much like doing it for fun. I am keeping up on my RSS feeds and have added my ...My Google Reader Items... to the blog as well. So I thought it would be good to see what the posts were from years past:

So SPRINT is trying to come out with an iPhone Killer. The Samsung Instinct looks pretty slick. I currently have the PPC-6700 with the Spb Mobile Shell v.2.0 GUI. I like it a lot! I have also seen Touch Commander that looks pretty swank for the PPC-6700.

LifeHacker also had links to updaters such as File Hippo Update Checker and UpdateStar.
