Just taking a break from packing for our big move on Monday.

Inconsiderate People

Sometimes you just wonder why people don't think of anyone but themselves.

How is this a parking spot when you are two feet over onto my driveway?

This world would be much better if everyone just remembered the Golden Rule...

Are they serious?!?!?!

This comes from some very stupid stupid people.
I can't even begin to form sentences to describe the absurd nature of this request/claim/lawsuit.

Manitoba chiefs want cellphone revenue
Last Updated: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 | 10:41 AM ET
CBC News

Manitoba First Nations are seeking compensation from Manitoba Telecom Services for every cellphone signal that passes through First Nations land, saying the airspace should be considered a resource like land and water.

'When it comes to using airspace, it's like using our water and simply because there's no precedent doesn't mean that it's not the right thing to do.'—Ovide Mercredi, Grand Rapids First Nation

At a recent economic development summit, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs resolved to negotiate revenue sharing with MTS for transmissions signals that cross the land, water and air space of their reserves and traditional territories.

"[The request is] based on the understanding that we do have some fundamental rights as indigenous people to land, water and airspace," said Chief Ovide Mercredi of the Grand Rapids First Nation.

"When it comes to using airspace, it's like using our water and simply because there's no precedent doesn't mean that it's not the right thing to do," he said.

Mercredi says that signals over a significant area of the province would be affected, noting that the Cree Nations claim rights to a large portion of the north.
Proposal may inspire more negotiations

Anna Hunter, a University of Saskatchewan professor of political studies specializing in aboriginal governance, says the AMC's request is unique but she says other First Nations groups across the country will likely follow suit.

"On a provincewide basis, this is definitely an innovative approach but I think it's an approach that other provinces' First Nations groups will probably take forward," she said.

MTS officials have declined to comment on the issue until they see the group's proposal. (ed: because they are too busy LAUGHING to answer)

Treo 650 Modded For Sale - $400

I am getting a work phone so I have to part with my beloved Treo Six-Fiddy.
The ROM has been modded to free up space and to add programs that are needed.
I can return to original ROM is needed, but honestly, it's a waste of space. But the kicker to the modded ROM is the ability to use the new SHDC cards. I have an 8GB SDHC card for movies and music! who needs an iPod when you can have it all in one.
Have added a stubby antenna to it and has had the BSE.com skin on it the day I got it.

Includes:
2 stubby antennas ($30 value each)
1 original antenna
1 regular batt
1 extended batt ($35 value)
1 silicone case
1 belt clip for the silicone case
1 Palm leather case
1 BSE.com skin on body
1 extra BSE.com skin ($10 value)
1 extra stylus plus original
1 8GB SDHC memory card ($130 value)
2 extra batt doors
2 sync cables (one with the sync button, needed if you want to mod the ROM yourself)

I have purchased software for it and it is installed, but if you want to keep it, you have to keep the same username.
Audio Gateway - allows for the use of Bluetooth Stereo headphones
Kinoma Player - streaming video capabilities
TCPMP - easily the best video player out there (freeware)
pTunes - iTunes like software
RBackup - to backup your data to the SD card

I can make whatever mods you want to the ROM before the purchase, just let me know.

PLUS!
I will let a Brand New In Box Sony DCRBT10X bluetooth stereo headphone go for $70 (retails for $139) if you want to take advantage of the wireless capabilities of the phone.

I have attached pictures. nicks on the bottom right hand of unit and small crack only cosmetic on the top left of unit.
