Just got it yesterday and so far… wow – it’s as good as they say. It’s actually cheaper per month than my Palm Treo (with my discount from work) so it was a no-brainer. It doesn’t work natively with my Scion’s ipod hookup though, which kinda sucks, but I may just keep my ipod and use that for tunes.

The Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana Phenomenon
My daughter is huge into Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana right now. More so than I think a seven year old should be. In fact, on the way home we listened to her rendition of “Rock Star” 5? times. Fun stuff. In case anyone is looking, A friend of mine runs a great website with a comprehensive gallery of Miley Cyrus Pictures
How bad is it that I know the words to some Miley Cyrus songs? Ugh.
Teenormous has launched!
After many hours and months of work, and many late nights (yes, it’s 1:53 AM right now as I type this) Teenormous has launched. What you see right now is maybe 10% of the features and awesomeness that is planned for the site. We wanted to start with a solid foundation and a great search engine and build on that.
We’ll be adding more t-shirts all the time (there is almost 15,000 right now), and we’ll be doing lots of mini-releases to roll out new features. We have really big plans for the site. What you see now is just the start.
- Teenormous, the t-shirt search engine
Snackerrific!
My new venture, Snackerrific has launched! It’s a site similar to Candy Addict, only the topic is snacks! Check it out sometime.
Geeky Fun with Google Charts
The google charts API is a blast:
Some more text I found that I had written about google charts:
Something you might not know and I just fully realized the potential/fun in these….
Google has a nifty tool for creating on the fly charts/graphs called the Google Charts API. The cool thing is it’s all done in the URL – no server side includes, or programming or anything is needed and it’s pretty easy to do. You can totally customize how it looks and they have MANY different types of graphs and charts.
here is the URL for the chart below:

Might be really useful to liven up a post every now and then. Do you think this idea is:

or is it:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250×125&cht=gom&chd=t:5&chl=Terrible
You could make some pretty funny graphs/charts if you wanted. Think of a celebrity blog post about Britney:
