Cool idea, really

So, I am in the hospital reading through some old Popular Science magazines my friend Clint brought over. I saw one thing I thought was pretty clever. Have you ever decided that you want a soft drink and realized you didn't put one in the refrigerator? Here is a quick solution:
1. Poke hole in plastic container
2. Put soda can in container and seal it
3, Spray compressed-air duster through hole for about 20 second to get soda down to about 30 degrees F

I think I may just have to try that out.

New phone




Well, Julie and I officially left Sprint. Now we are on at&t, and we got some pretty good deals on Letstalk.com (and an extra bonus since my dad sent us a referral).
I ended up getting a Tilt, which you can see above. I like it a lot so far. Especially the fact that it has built-in GPS, which means I don't need to carry around my Bluetooth GPS puck anytime I want to use my TomTom software. :)
I was out of town this past week, and one evening I had some dinner at IHOP. While I was waiting for my food to come, I had started the SlingPlayer on my Tilt, and was watching our DVR at home. The waitress walked by and did a double-take, and asked if I was watching a movie. I told her that it was actually what my wife was watching at home, and she thought that was pretty cool. I think so too.
