Interesting usefulness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night I found some interesting useful things to do with my Pocket PC. Sleeping at the in-laws, I used a CF card full off MP3’s and my stereo headphones to fall asleep to music without bothering my wife, or having to lug around any extra cd player or cd’s. Then, when I woke up in the middle of the night, the Pocket PC was still running right there on the night stand, so just a tap on the screen later I had enough light to see my way around the room, and I could get a peek at the time. Of course this assumes you have it plugged into a wall outlet and set to not shut off when connected to power this way, but it was kinda nice.

Angela, on the other hand, called it the most expensive night-light in the world. She just doesn’t get it. *L*

    Here’s a thought, maybe voter turnout isn’t low because of voter apathy. Maybe, just maybe, all those non-voters out there are simply waiting for a candidate to run who is actually worthy of our important vote. I can’t remember the last time a candidate was actually worth voting for, let alone taking the time and…

    I saw earlier this week that a couple of my favorite podcasts had created listener email discussion lists, so I’m all signed up to be part of the group for both Geek News Central and In the Trenches. I’m curious to see how the email lists work out and whether a community of listeners develops…
