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….
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.
