Say hello to my little friend! (going back to two devices)

A psp go!

Now before you try to label me as greedy let me explain. I am a power cellphone user. Music, movies, Twitter, email, instant messages, text, mms, video chat, web surfing.

Using the stock mytouch 4G battery, 4 maybe, 5 hours with music and text. Movies or heavy Twitter, 3 max. So I'm faced with three options:

Pocket charger (which are in their first few makers) plus upgrade my memory (8 gigs is alright, but 16 gigs or better)

Upgrade the phone (new battery) plus memory card

Or an external device (ipod touch or psp go)

When it comes to pocket chargers they seem cumbersome. It took makers about two good tries for portability plus comfort plus the cost vs durability (30 plus for Something that'll snap in my pocket, no bueno) Although it is in my future, (thanks video chat) I don't see it in the near future.

Upgrading my battery. Wow, epic struggle within itself. Let's start with the math, which you can use with your own phone adventures.

Mytouch 4G has a 1400 mAh battery.

You will need the power of your phones battery because when you shop for aftermarket batteries its your benchmark for your own use.

In my case, 1400 = 4.3 hours.

So finding a battery that's 2800 is a little over 8 hours.

But the problem is that these are bulky batteries plus they are first gen which means on the slightly costly side (50 plus)

Now, usually. A lot of phone makers use the same phone just upgrade the body and functions. (Motorola Is big on this: I actually bought the Cliq, but it had the same size battery as the Droid X, and Incredible which meant batteries started at 65 so I sold it...but back to the main story) Usually of you have an older phone, the battery should be cheaper since they are compatible.

Keep in mind, a 16 gig memory card is in the 40s plus, so you're knocking on an additional 100 plus the 200 you paid for the phone

Which brings up option 3, external device. You can get a 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch under 100, or at it. A new psp go for 150-200. Unless you go used from gamestop plus insurance is 120. You get 16 gigs, plus games capabilities.

Considering the wait, the pop go is the better choice.

First few days with Droid

Wow, too much to go over. But here is a good place.

So far my only technical issue is just with the corrective text, but its getting better with time.

My biggest gripe is the waiting on official Droid apps of key things - mainly Netflix, Hulu and a few others.

Video calling, is the future. I thought it was gonna be a feature limited to those who have a phone with dual cameras bout its bigger than that.

Also, there is a very interesting app called screen share which allows wireless streaming of media from a pc. So far so good.

with my next pick...for the 4th generation of cell phones....I choose

The mytouch 4g







After many months of research, I decided to go droid, mainly because of the fact that At&t lost their contract with the iPhone. (Something all iPhone fans have been calling for since the Iphone 3G)

I had an open contract, and I decided to get a phone to last me at least until the iPhone 5 comes out, or I may convert fully into a Droid head.

I will also blog about my many adventures in the droid world.

Brianjbaby era

For 2011, I decided to go in a new direction.




One of my major moves of last year was working. True, in some ways moving from self employed to regular employment is viewed as taking some steps backwards, (it was funny as after I started, the rest of my crew have made the transition from self employment to civilian jobs as we used to say)

Now to bring things forward, the name change, and the "J" which refers to my middle name, I felt things should be more personal, so here we are.

For 2011 I think its time to move forward, one of the bigger challenges is how to do it with a civilian job.

S2ML: Nas - Stillmatic intro - Stillmatic

"I crawled up out of that grave, wipin' the dirt, cleanin' my shirt...
They thought I'd make another illmatic
But it's always forward, I'm movin'..."


So soulful, even the intro saying blood of a slave, heart of a king. At that time I was going through a lot, I was taking and recovering against some heavy losses, and I needed some music to fill the void, but this is a great song to start your day with [good or bad]

I've also decided to post my 500 songs for my 30 for 30, and my top 100 albums. Some reviews will be deep, some will be short, it's interesting but I've decided on it, oh until my 30 for 30 NOTHING IS IN ANY ORDER

30 for 30

I've decided to do my own 30 for 30. For you who don't know, ESPN. They did their top 30 stories, and I've decided to do my own from ages 18-30, along with my top 100 people.
