Watery Graves

What is it, exactly, about Blackberry devices and water? We’ve had two users this week completely trash their blackberries by dropping them in water, one in a pool, another in the tub.

Of course, the real question I should be asking is why can you not put the blackberry down for awhile? Seriously, relax in the tub, sit out by the pool and leave the blackberry somewhere else!

    Interesting questions come to my mind as I read an email from a coworker about adding some stuff to email signatures as a way to promote an upcoming event. How many people actually read past the name field of a sig file? If you do, at what point does it become too long and you…

    Just a couple of notes about things going on at Friends in Tech. First, Douglas Welch, host of Career Opportunities, one of my favorite podcasts, got himself on local TV out in L.A. this week.

  1. That is very true. We’ve discussed this as the next logical place for one to end up, and we also decide that when it happens, they do NOT need to bring it in to us in order for us to replace it. We’ll take their word it doesn’t work. *L*

  2. Having had a worn out belt clip, and experiencing this, your idea is very valid.
    A few too many years ago, before PCs and Cell phones, I had my own business servicing electronics. It was amazing how much stuff can get dumped into TVs, I even had a good method to clean the boards, grain alcohol and a apprentice with a stiff brush…
