My First Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth
Photo-A-Day #963

I have assimilated. I went and got a bluetooth headset and already I love it. I charged it for a few minutes and then set it up with my phone. And now I can actually make calls and receive calls and talk to people on my phone. It is limping along to the very end of life with me. It just has to last me till January and I can finally get my EnV. Also the Plantronics headset is very very comfortable and the sound is great. I am pretty pleased with the purchase too.

Tonight we dressed Eva in a cute little winter sleeper. She is getting so big that she’s not going to be wearing it for much longer. I can’t believe how fast she is growing.

Today I made some great contacts with some fascinating bloggers. First up is Anne-Marie of The Write Spot. She was at Blog World Expo and we’ve been discussing the experience. Unfortunately we didn’t meet while there. Maybe at another convention.

I also made contact with a very special article of clothing, Olga the traveling bra may be visiting me this summer to have an adventure to add to her already amazing life. You have to read her 100% True Story. It is a very clever story and a very fun website. Stop over and tell Olga I sent you.

Also, my friend Ashley from IZEA wrote a special post about the Machinski Fund and the 2008 Photo-A-Day Calendar. Thanks Ashley!

I wrote a Tech Tuesday for FuelMyBlog and they have a new contest going on as well to win a copy of Microsoft Expression.

Two out of the three contest posts are ready to go for December 1st and already my pal Stephen The Dog is excited about entering the contests.

Also I have read David Allen’s book Getting things Done, you might remember that I lent it to a friend who needed some organizational help in his life and he subsequently lost the book. Well this is the book he really needs. Warning, contains a graphic word that will not be uttered on this blog.

Got the headsets, waiting on the memory cards and iGo tips though.

Did you spend on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

I did the Black Friday thing from home this year and did nothing on Cyber Monday. I know, I need to plan much better next year so I can take advantage of the killer deals that were going on each of those days.

I made out pretty well by shopping online at Office Depot. They had the same deals as their Black Friday flyer in the store and online. I was able to snatch up two microSD/MiniSD/SD cards that were 2GB each. We are going to be using them in our new EnV phones when we can actually buy those phones. My contract is up in January and then I can start a new one. I am looking forward to unlimited texts, pix, and flix all over the place. And with the new EnV I am going to make use of all the great features.

One of the features is bluetooth. I also picked up two bluetooth headsets. This was in part due to the fact that my current phone. The evil little bastard, isn’t working correctly with a wired headset and I can’t use the speakers on the phone itself. It is weird, I’ve done the hard reset a number of times and it hasn’t worked. I’m toughing it out for another month or so.

Despite my poor planing I think I did make out pretty well on Black Friday.
