The Bastard Fairies & Bill O’Rielly

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

You Tube had a video narrated by a 8-year old girl who rips Bill O’Rielly a new one. Very entertaining video. What follows after that is Bill O’Rielly’s response to the video. I am apalled at the narrow mindedness of O’Rielly and his show! (I’m not a regular watcher so I don’t know if he is like this usually)

If you didn’t notice who is behind the first video, please visit The Bastard Fairies. They have their entire album available to download for free. My favorite song is “We’re all going to hell“.

Verizon: Dollars or Cents, they are all the same

Most people with a basic understanding of math will understand the difference between 0.002 Dollars and 0.002 Cents. Apparently, Verizon refuses to recognize that there is a difference! Listen below-

Palm Bluetooth File Explorer

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

I own a Palm TX (OS5) and a Motorola L6. Both devices are Bluetooth devices. One day I was fidgeting with my buddy’s Pocket PC which is also Bluetooth enabled. His Pocket PC had an application called “Bluetooth File Explorer” or something like that. I was able to connect to my Motorola phone using his Pocket PC and was able to browse the contents of my phone such as wallpapers and ringtones.

I got jealous and wanted to be able to do that with my Palm - after all it’s just another OS right? It turns out that after hours of searching the internet, I came up with nothing. The closest thing I found was Softick’s Bluetooth commander. But since I didn’t want to spend any money, I kept looking.

In the end, my make-shift solution is to send each individual picture / ringtone to my Palm Device using Bluetooth and then using a freeware called FileZ, send it to another phone if needed. This sux but at least I can accomplish what I want - exchange cool ringtones with friends.

If anyone else has run into a similar problem, please let me know if you have a better solution for exchanging ringtones / images / videos with friends using Bluetooth enabled handheld devices only (Palm & Phones)
