The most Murphy’s day of my life… so far

In a nutshell, Murphy’s law states that whatever can go wrong will go wrong and at the most inopportune time. This day for me seems to to be the most literal example of that law and it seems to crown a really crappy week: My “so called” team has never been complete the whole week. [...]

Sweet nothings

Here comes the Google N1 err HTC Desire

Erin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:23:08 +0000

The Google Nexus One (N1) is currently my “it” phone fantasy as the sub-30K price is pretty reasonable considering the features.
