So Google is taking over my life since I got the HTC Dream. Damn you Google! So now I have a blog. And seems my experimental inquisitive thoughts and the magic of PayPal have got the best of me lately.

So I'm blogging over here http://bryantoller.blogspot.com/ with all my crazy thoughts, and outcomes, or god knows...

I'll be learning some Python + Mechanize soon too

How are those android phones? I've never used one for any significant amount of time or for something useful, just picked one up and oggled it... Its weird cause at school you see people with all types of gadgets and what not, but I don't know anyone with an android phone. I kinda want to get one but not sure how the browser and touch keyboard compare to that of the iphone...

Since I have not had any experience with any of the other Android phones my experience is limited. I have not exactly used an iPhone either. I really hate Apples business practices..

I chose the Dream because well, I didn't have many options from Rogers, and I really wanted a qwerty keyboard. I despise touch keyboards. However I can install a touch keyboard if I choose. I'll prolly be suckered into one when I root the phone and put the Cynanogen Mod on it.

What do I like about it? It is built on Linux. Fairely intuitive interface, and I'm pretty free to do whatever the heck I want on it. The Dream has a really handy trackball that actually works. The only thing I don't like is that the battery life sucks. But that is well documented and there is plenty of free apps to reduce battery. For myself I turn off the 3G, wifi, bluetooth all the time unless needed. So SMS and phone calls still work. I get about 3 days of battery life using it lighty. Its be come my mp3 player of choice, once I installed Meridian music player on it.

Derr... still playing. Its not a powerhouse for sure. Rogers Dream comes with Android 1.5 installed. So kinda dated. But well supported. The XDA Dev's always port all the new stuff back to the G1/Dream.

I don't know anyone else with an Android phone. Everyone is Apple Fanboys. Or buggy WinMo phones.

Oh to get the most out of it ya gonna need to setup a Google account.

m2h - blogspot (blogger.com) will output to any ftp compatible webspace - you use the same blogger.com address to edit it, but then when you publish, it could be ...on...<drumroll> m2h.ca if you still have it...

just a thought.

Nah... I'm lazy.
m2h.ca is in hiatius. 'cause someone.. has decided not to pay for their hosting.
Gotta redo my server, then pay for my own hosting. Then do evil things.
