The “Dog having a number 2” car was, in fact, the Chrysler Crossfire, unless he reused his imagery.

I’m not using Drive, but I have 95GB on SkyDrive. I keep my music collection on it (Roughly 50GB), and the rest goes to syncing my work between this computer and home. I do graphic design and media production, so it’s not hard to fill up 45GB with work.

Am I the only one questioning the purchase of a Panamera?

Hideous car, that.

Not around here. I graduated in 2003, and never had a hand-written essay in High School. It was some time in the late 90s in (at the time) my Houston suburb.

As for cursive, I cannot speak to that. I remember in 4th and 5th grade, we had to write everything in cursive, and were told that we’d never print letters again. Well, that didn’t pan out.

There’s been so much good news for HIV research, I guess it was about time for something like this. Disappointing, but hopefully we’re just a bit nearer to a cure anyway.

I think I was the only person alive who ever actually received an iPod via one of those “Fill out 100 offers and we’ll send you an iPod” things. It was the 4G 40GB model, and I had it until my dog ate it.

First song(s) was the Wynton Marsalis “Sparks” album that was featured on" iTunes commercials long ago.

Little known fact: Find My Phone uses (or at least on this particular one, since it was a warranty replacement I got 1 day before) SMS to track. That means it is linked to your phone number. As soon as I went to AT&T to get a SIM for my backup phone (iPhone 4), Find My Phone stopped working.

Actually, far from it. I’m really on the fence, because the camera, daylight viability (holy crap), and battery life were awesome. But frankly, it’s too big for my hands. I played with an 8X at the Microsoft Store in Houston, and it perfectly fit into my hands, so I thought I’d give it a go.

I do adore the 920, though, and I had the 900 before it.

My Lumia 920 got stolen about a week ago, and I was planning on picking up an HTC 8X to replace it. Now it looks like I have to wait…
