I Am Now An Android

Or should I say a Droid?  My Palm Pre took a final nasty dive last month.  While I did have an upgrade coming to me, my wife really wanted an iPhone.  Being the good husband that I am, she got  a shiny new white iPhone 4 whilst I received a slightly used refurbished white Droid 2 Global.  There's even a story how she came to a refurbished model but that's for a better time than this.

Since I've moved onto Android, I'll start posting some more updates and reviews.  I'll drop in my favorite apps and mention some close seconds.  I'll probably lust over some phones like the Droid Razr.

Right I'm still playing and customizing it.  The Gingerbread update finally dropped and I've been loving the much needed changers.  The app launcher is better.  Its faster.  The battery last longer.  I can even dismiss individual notifications thanks to MotoBlur.

If you have any Android suggestions, comments, et cetera, leave them for me please.

Phone Shopping

One of my ongoing quests is to build an Android ecosystem that allows for easy or even seamless transition between devices.  Those devices will include a phone (well, duh), tablet, watch, and laptop.  This is a fairly common combination of devices but like others, I have my own unique wants and needs.  To build the mobile ecosystem, its best to start with the core device: the phone.  How do I choose though?  This is when those wants and needs should be defined.   What am I looking for?  What will I use it for? Camera: I have kids so I require a camera with a fast shutter and wide aperture.  Telephoto helps too for soccer games.  A strong macro would help especially since I take lots of nature pictures. Strong signal: my classroom is an interior room in a concrete cinder block dystopian hole.  I need a phone that'll fry an egg with radiation to get service.

Fedora 41 After Install Guide

    This getting started guide will help quickly set up Fedora 41 Workstation after a fresh install. This is my personal guide that has been revised through numerous Fedora releases and thoroughly vetted by the Linux community. The instructions here may seem familiar for those that referenced the  Fedora 40 Guide . Most instructions remain identical to past versions. I personally test these commands on my laptop and desktop. This guide is intended for the Fedora Workstation edition. The commands will work on the different desktop spins such as KDE and Budgie. Other Fedora editions such as Silverblue are not compatible. Fedora is a very popular Linux distro for  good reason . It is a favorite amongst developers and end users alike. Its also my current and preferred distro. Current Stable Release Fedora 41Workstation and other Spins were released as stable on October 29, 2024.  How To Use This Guide Open a command line, a la Termina...
