6620, 1049, on 2. Break.

with my new 6620 in hand, things like airblogging have become more interesting. in fact, my phone has a voice recorder, so i could possibly combine mobile blogging with ipodding to produce a moble podcast. imagine making that post while stuck in traffic or during the long commute. that could produce some rather different entries like here's a picture of the car of the guy that cut me off and what i had to say about it.

while at the market yesterday they had a table set up for the boy scouts, i managed to go in the other door and not be hassled. don't get me wrong, for the most part i'm ok with the bsa, but i was in just one of those moods. had i been asked to buy some of their crap to support them, i think i might have gone off on one of those "i don't support homophobes" rants and i really wasn't up for it. ok, well that seems out of the blue, but i was reminded of it when i saw a post that talks about some of the 1,049 federal rights depend on marital status. they also include the gao report that lists them all. the issue, obviously, isn't that married couples have some additional rights -- it is that the u.s. still does not recognize same-sex marriages.

on a lighter note -- google quietly announced search for the desktop. it google-izes your email, im converstations, word/excel documents, and a variety of other document types. interesting stuff. ars technica has a short article on it as well. let the privacy concerns begin!
