Q: Guess who is pretty dang pumped that he or she didn’t drop some loot on a Drod Eros last week? A: This guy. This guy right here. This guy, married to Verizon. This guy, handcuffed to Verizon Wireless, and thus, pumped to see a sick-as-shit Android phone drop. This non-Motorola-liking guy, right here. HTC Incedible, in the house. Upon initial reviews, this sucker is making the other Android suckaz look like clunky piecez of shit. Things that make you go…hmm. One month. Stay posted.

With my wedding day quickly approaching, so are my days of coming up with anniversary gifts…like it or not. While other days are more self-explanatory, (Valentine’s Day flowers, St. Patrick’s Day Guinness Stout, et. al.) I am at a loss when it comes to the whole anniversary thing. I’m fairly certain that wood, coal, paper, and whatever else is mandated by wive’s tale is not going to cut it in the ol’ Swantron household…what am I to do? Got it…watches. It works both ways! Check out this bad-boy… Pretty sure Katie would love to see me in a Citizen Eco Drive like that. Classy. The nerd slash 3rd grader in me would totally go for something more this flavor… Tons of buttons…I like it. Plus, it has a “comp” button. Whatever that does, I approve. So maybe, I should refine this whole thing by saying a watch would be great for me. More diamonds for my bride-to-be. Either way, I want that Casio.

My pretend homeboy GW tossed up a post over at geekologie[dot]com with a pic of my favorite Albert’s desk when he croaked. Not too sure what that dark-looking whiteboard is all about. Or, what those odd-looking paper-like laptops are all about. Must be some sort of sick-ass supercomputer laptops, of sorts. Proast. For real. Read some special relativity…incredible. Very approachable, to boot. Einstein, FTW.

While I’ve been caught up dealing with the epic battle between the Moto Droid and the RIM Storm 2, there have been some slick phones dropping. FWIW, Motorola whupped the beans out of the Storm, whatever that means. Whatevs. Here is one in particular. The HTC HD2. This puppy is pretty much loaded. Like I’ll be after this paid post… Really though, this is a sweet phone. 480x800 res screen at 4.3 inches…we’re talking Eros stats. HTC Accessories are where it is at, though. You can outfit this guy (which runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, for you Microsoft-eers) with all kinds of phone stuffs…hit that bump to find out more. Long story short…I need to stay up on my phone current events. I’m still clinging to my seen-better-days BlackBerry Pearl. For the loss.

Takeru Kobayashi? Is that you? Tired of looking like that little hot dog eating champ dude? Okay…that is not Kobayashi. Regardless, if you feel like the colloquial 90lb weekling… Hit up some steroids…get swoll, son! Unless you play baseball professionally, you have nothing to lose…hit that ^ link and check out some options…GET SWOLL! HUUAH! I want a hot dog now.

My Arduino is in da houze! Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform…and it is awesome. I went for the Arduino Duemilanove, packaged nicely with some LEDs, resisters, leads, and solderless breadboard. Did I mention this bad-boy employs USB connectivity? Prototyping, FTW! Next step: get this sucker talking to Ubuntu on my Mini 9. Step after that: turn on some LEDs Step even after that: MF-ing robot +1 Nerd, indeed.

This CBS affiliate is reporting that the man arrested a mini-van owner for a little green laser hyjinx. Hyjinx? Hijinks? Hyjynx? Not sure, but tallk about some injustice… FTA: > On the ground, a Camden police unit responded to the corner of Alabama Road and Congress Road and located Villalobos sitting inside a red Dodge minivan. Police approached Villalobos, who admitted to being the person flashing the laser light at the helicopter, saying that he thought it had been a news helicopter. The laser pointer light was located inside the glove compartment box of the vehicle. The question remains, Did this guy… a) Own said mini-van b) Borrow his wife’s mini-van, or c) Borrow his mom’s mini-van I’m going with c. It seems like a really “live at home in the basement” thing to do…

From time to time I will gripe about my job. Especially when the coffee maker is down for the third consecutive week. Sad Panda. Regardless, we have a tremendous benefits package, with profit share Group Health Insurance, 401K…we even have a gym in the basement. And yes, you know I’m all over the mirror curls. When I was running my S-Corp, playing in the dirt putting in irrigation systems, I had to deal with health insurance the dirty way. I had the most minimal Blue Cross Blue Shield plan that money could buy. Or that ninety bucks a month could buy, more precisely. It was, in effect, a detrimental plan of sorts…I never had a claim, since I would pay 80% out of pocket. No dental; no vision. I basically could sleep well at night, knowing that I wouldn’t go bankrupt if I rolled a skid-steer and was seriously injured. Now that I’m set up with both health and Life Insurance, I have far less to worry about. That said, jobs come and go. Situations change. One minute, you could be writing paid posts like this…the next you could be looking for work elsewhere. When that is the case, it becomes far more important to pay attention and do your homework regarding the all important Health Insurance Quote. It seems like everyone and their dog is peddling insurance these days, so diligence pays off in this realm. Pay attention, and get a plan that will cover yourself. Hit one of those white links above to do some comparison shopping. Docor-bot abides.

There has been said to be two assured things in life: death and taxes. I prefer to file my taxes with a cool beer. I challenge anybody to be more American than this…e-filing with a pounder of Budweiser… Unfortunately, Turbo Tax does not cater to Linux users. Good thing I’m still clinging to the dual boot, as I had to fire up Vista to tackle this chore. Maybe next year will be the year of the Linux tax prep…
