technology 1 me 0

Sprint 4G is coming to Austin soon among other select cities in Texas so I'm thinking next year I can upgrade to a 4G phone and really zoom. One of my perks is I can upgrade every year w/o contractual problems. Trying to squeeze all this in while I can you know. I'm not a complete Luddite. Of course there's never a free lunch really, they just want you to think that when you sign up for all this stuff that's "unlimited" but I like to think I'm getting what I'm paying for, inflated or not and I'll find the time to use it. Oh sure.
On a good night at home, which is almost all the time, I will go outside and burn incense and pray to the cell tower gods for cell tower offspring to form nearby. But WTF, I got a PC so I don't need no stinkin phone at the house anyway. What was I thinking?

There's a lot to research and I have to say other than the keys being too small to suit me, the blackberry is a serious device and a cool one for an old guy. I'm staying with Sprint because I am and I like the service and bla bla bla... next year I'll see what they're offering in 4G.

Upgrade! yay...

I will however resist an Ipod because I like hearing what's going on around me instead of being plugged into some jam and stepping off the curb in front of a speeding bus. Especially before the song's over and besides who wants to be remembered as that smear over there on the pavement?
