Just an interesting piece of trivia I picked up today. The United States Patent system was created on this day in 1790. According to InfoPlease.com it is also the day the safety pin was patented.
Could it be a coincidence that it is also the day that the titanic set sail on its last voyage in [...]

Apple was being quite evil over the past few weeks. I guess they don’t have Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” mantra. They have been trying to push Safari as an “update” to any user who had iTunes installed. I guess Safari is now an update.
The crazy part is that if Microsoft tried doing such a thing [...]

Over the past few days two writers I admire passed away.
The first was Russell Shaw who started in the BlackBerry space writing for BBhub.com and then went on to running “The BlackBerry Beat” blog on ZDnet. His contributions and coverage will be sorely missed.
The second is a name that is a bit less known [...]

I am not sure how old of a skit this is but I thought many of you would enjoy it. This has to be one of the craziest stunts I have ever seen.
You have to see this one from your desktop since it is a flash video.

Got another excellent email from a friend again today that I just thought I would share with you all…Again.
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren’t prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?’ She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do know you, [...]

 I got another ‘relevant’ email from a friend the other day. Just wanted to share it with you all…Enjoy…

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008when…

 1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of [...]

I have been part of the Hulu beta for quite awhile and thought I would share with you some good news. Hulu will be available to all come March 12th (yeah thats tomorrow )!!!

I know this has nothing to do with BlackBerry but I am sure there are some of you who have not heard [...]

Well I’m on the other side of the world and we don’t even ‘Officially’ have the iPhone here yet, so I will do my best…
The ‘Software Developers Kit’ or SDK was released today, or was it yesterday, as it’s already tomorrow here, but if it’s tomorrow, why haven’t we got the phone of today that’s [...]

If you want a good laugh you should read the Reuters Oddly Enough article from yesterday titled “Cemetery full, Mayor tells locals not to die.”
In short a small town in France called Sarpourenx have been told that if they don’t already have a plot in the current cemetery then they are forbidden to die. The [...]

After a week or so of wailing on Rim and BlackBerry and all of there shortfalls, I thought I would write a feel good story about the advantages of BlackBerry ownership.

Last weekend when I was supposed to be home writing my butt off, I actually went 4 wheeling to a local trail to test out [...]
