I love my iPhone, and plan on upgrading to the next one this summer. I've never had any problems with an HTC phone, and I've had a couple (mainly rebranded AT&T and Sprint ones.) For $530 it's unlocked... just sayin'. I've setup an Android phone and it's pretty simple. Turn it on, log into your Google account, and you're ready to go; simpler than the iPhone in the way that you don't need a PC to complete initial setup. I do think it's solid, but still nowhere near the iPhone (aside from the multitasking). I'm sticking with my iPhone though. It still isn't mature enough to make the change for me.

I was looking at the site and I really do not think it is that awesome.. 1) It is an HTC phone, I have never had anything good to say about an HTC phone. 2) +$500 I will take 2 iPhones for that thank you very much. 3) Open source. Now, do not get me wrong, open source is GREAT but not for mom and pop or granny. The phone needs to just work, without any dicking around. "Plug the phone into your computer, follow the prompts and set it up with iTunes. Make phone calls and send txts" done, simple easy. I like my iPhone, I hate AT&T and I love Google, but you can pry my iPhone from my cold dead hands! Really?! I was looking at the site and I really do not think it is that awesome..

They did make the right decision diverting to O'Hare I know. It was thr staff in the airport that made this so much worse. Only exception was the on duty manager who wasn't even supposed to be there.

My friend was the Captain of that flight. I was in Chicago at the hotel watching what was happening. They made the right call diverting into ORD. The problem with the busses was that United had even more major problems because their hub at ORD was shut down and delayed 4-8 hours due to the weather. They snagged most of the local busses that were available before any one else could. And fewer were available than normal because of the start of the summer travel season. That is not the fault of the airline. My own flight to Las Vegas tonight was delayed because our plane was first held on the ground in Phoenix because of the back-up of inbounds to ORD. Then it had to divert to guess where, Milwaukee, to refuel. I was 7 1/2 hours late, but just grateful to be out west again. The series of stroms over Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois really screwed up air traffic big time today. Be thankful you got to where you wanted to go. MANY leaving or connecting through ORD today did not!!! Do you realize what a masssive storm you avoided by going to O’hare? My friend was the Captain of that flight.

The questions of Obama’s Kenyan birth and his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship (admitted on his own website) have been conflated by his sustained unwillingnes to supply his long form birth certificate now under seal, and compounded by his internet posting of a discredited ‘after-the-fact’ short form ‘certificate’. In the absence of these issues being acknowledged and addressed, IT IS MANIFEST THAT OBAMA REMAINS INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Being a 14th Amendment ‘citizen’ is not sufficient. A ‘President’ MUST BE an Article 2 ‘natural born citizen’ AS DEFINED BY THE FRAMERS’ INTENT.

]]> Comment on Ashley Judd is an Idiot by Kathy Ward http://blairschumann.com/2009/02/05/ashley-judd-is-an-idiot/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Kathy Ward Fri, 06 Feb 2009 16:13:08 +0000 http://blairschumann.com/?p=97#comment-8 Ashley Judd is a complete idiot- couldn't agree more. Tom Hanks (sorry but he is off limits- he is a good man who I had the pleasure of meeting once at a fundraiser). Ashley Judd has no idea what the purpose of 'hunting' is, what good it actually does for conservation and the rules of engagement. This woman only sees a cute little animal... and in her make-belieev world their is plenty of food and space for them all to live. WRONG! I'd rather see a wolf, bear, deer... whatever animal of the week, humanly hunted for the greater good. So it isn't starved to death, due to over popluation ends up in someones back yard and either ends up as road pizza (or worset yet) harms a human being. There are reason why hunting is a globally accepted sport- does Ashley Judd realize how many children in Africa are fed because of 'Game Hunts'? In most cases the meals those hunts provide is the most nutrious (and/or only) meal they recieve. Here is my 2-cents for Ashley Judd- GROW A BRAIN, DO YOUR RESEARCH and SHUT UP! I swear people like Ashley Judd make me sick. Not to mention- isn't this the actress that had to be hospitalzed for OCD issues? Clearly she needs to get her head examined AGAIN... something was obviously missed! Ashley Judd is a complete idiot- couldn’t agree more.
