Palm to acquire rival Handspring
I think I’m going to cry. I’ve always loved my Handspring, and I think part if it was because they weren’t owned by Palm. I guess now that Handspring is only developing phones anyways, and I already have Visor, this won’t really affect me personally – but I’m still sad to see them go. [via Evan]
I kept checking outside, only finding a flooded street until now. I think it’s finally down low enough that I can go, and I watched a car pass with minimal wave results. Meanwhile, while waiting I updated Pixelog and Picture Yourself, along with marking some other things off of my to do list. Now it’s time to finally head for downtown. Wish me luck!
(I won’t drive through any deep water – I promise. I will turn around if I have to, but I have to try.)
I can’t go to work. I’m literally trapped at home – the street in front of my apartment’s parking lot is completely flooded. I saw one car get through, but it was a larger sedan – I don’t feel up to having my Honda Civic float away today. Hopefully it will go down fast – it was raining pretty hard when I got up this morning, lots of thunder and lightening, but now it has slowed down to a drizzle. I just hope it stays that way – no one in Houston wants a repeat of June, 2001, when Hurricane Allison hit and we had 21 inches of rain in 24 hours. We need rain right now – but we don’t need it all on one day!
The game last night against the Orioles was probably one of the best I’ve ever seen at Minute Maid Park. Some of the innings were pretty slow, which is why there were several photos in the MoBlog, but other innings we kicked ass! Whooooo hoooo! Go Astros! Also, it’s the first game that I have ever been to in the past 10 years where I witnessed Biggio doing something worth seeing – he hit a home run. Normally, every game I’ve been to he strikes out or hits a line drive that is caught and he’s out by the time he hits first. The biggest highlight was Ensberg’s grand slam in the 8th inning. It was a sweet! Last night was a very, very good game.
It may not be sunny with blue skies like earlier today, but I don’t care. I’m going to a baseball game! One of the partners offered me tickets earlier, and I snatched them up. My Dad and Jason are heading in to town, and Mike is going to meet up with us at the stadium. Have I mentioned lately that I love going to baseball games?
I’ll try to send a picture or two through to the BPC To Go Moblog! I won’t have to be stealth about it like I was last night in the movie theater – Mike didn’t even know I took the Matrix photo and posted it as the movie started!
If my post last week made you want to watch “The Amazing Race 4,” you really must read “Just wait, it gets Amazing later…” over at Promo’s site. It is the definitive beginner’s guide for the show, offering up tips and advice for those of you that are just getting in to it. Even if you’ve watched previous seasons, his commentary is hysterical. “Phil’s Phasions” cracked me up!
