Las Vegas Trip — Technology Issues

Driving to the Alice/Media Computation workshop is going well.  I’ve been using lots of gadgets:

First, my AT&T 8575 has Windows Live Search on it.  I have a very cheap Nokia bluetooth GPS, and I have been tracking our progress, and mapping where we are going with it.  Found a cute local Albuquerque hamburger joint.  However, I didn’t know that my husband is terrified of Albuquerque.  Could have told me.  I still think we bypassed the worse traffic.

It also got us to Meteor Crater, which was a cool place to visit.  They want you to be very afraid….Meteor Crater

Had a bad moment with a Dexcom CGMS unit that has a proprietary cable, both ends — well, the One Touch end may be a standard end, but it might as well be proprietary itself.  Use standard cables people!  It cuts down on stress and yesterday mess.

I have two Nokia items that take completely different cables.  My Energizer wall plugs seem to have standard plugs, and my phone uses USB — yeah phone.  Love my phone.

I solve the cable problem with my Camera by getting one without — uses batteries, could use rechargeable but I don’t.  And I use a SD card to move the photos back and forth.
