Sidekicked to the I.D.

[New phone acquired! - Sidekick I.D.]

As Mika left to Japan, I thought about finding a simple device that would allow me to keep in contact with her easily through email. In Japan, the email system is used among mobile devices, not text messaging. I didn’t want to have to go with another PPC (PocketPC) and have to troubleshoot it at times so I went with Sharp’s Sidekick. It’s a very good device and I recommend it to many. Many of my friends have the Sidekick 3 and now the LX but I have no reason to go with such a device since I only use it for text messaging and email. An extra mp3 player and camera isn’t needed. I have removed the thought of upgrading from my mind. It’s very stable and it looks very clean and sleek. I can comment on the data service and say it’s been connected 24/7 since I have gotten the phone about a week ago. I cannot commend on the phone service since I don’t use it as a phone. And mainly, it saves me money since it is 30$ a month and I was paying 15$ on my PPC phone for text messaging and 40$ for the data plan which only included internet usage. In my eyes, the Sidekick I.D. is a bargain, pricing at 99.99$ with a 50$ mail-in rebate. Can’t get much better than that!

After the Effects

I have an all new respect for After Effects. At times when I didn’t know the program, I didn’t dislike it but I didn’t quite understand what it was used for. After watching hours of tutorials, I have grasped a feel for it due to understanding it a lot more. I plan to use it much more in the future. My whole summer will be spent working, studying, and designing. Sounds like a hectic summer but I view it as my summer vacation since I can choose what times I study/design rather than have school be forced onto my schedule. I have been trying not to get too lazy with my sleep and I have seem to be getting over it. Give me a few hours and I am ready to go!

Toys for joy

Me being able to write journals in class makes it much easier for me to write with the little time I have. I recently just bought a new phone and pda: in one. I thought it would be so much harder to type in it but it isn’t . I am currently waiting to take my mid-term for enc1102 that I haven’t quite studied for. I have been reading the sonnets but I haven’t had much time to look over it again. I probably won’t have a problem with it but I always have a little panic before tests now matter what class it is for. I have been like this for a long time.
