I was writing this morning and used the word frisbee in a sentence (as you do). Microsnot Windohs corrected it for me and changed it from 'frisbee' to 'Frisbee'. Is it a product name? A family name?

Interesting.

I guess it's the same as Band-Aid, Xerox, Hoover, Kleenex.

What are some other brands that are now lingo?

Waiting for a call

I got a new phone today. Yes, a new toy. It's a Sony Ericsson 750. It has a camera which is as good as my old chunky Canon from four years ago, but also makes phone calls.

Anyone have a USB cable for a 6110 Nokia? I've been a nokia boy for years. I switched because I got a Sony camera and the memory is compatible and I got a camera because Rowan got one. funny huh!

Feel free to call to test my new mp3 ring tones!

Thanks to Kathey and Russell for their early halloween party. Thanks also to Pete for scaring the crap out of me as I got to the door. I'm still jumpy!

Highlight was the shower photo as usual, with about 8 of us in this time. I got dripped on again as usual. Take one for the team Mick they call me.

Sleep well.

My friend has just moved into a new place. It's a terrace house with similar next door. She told me that the people she bought it off were a couple who have split up. One moved to the house on the right and the other moved to the house on the left.

Can you believe it? I can't. It's nuts.

"Let's split up and move one house away!!"

Crazy crazy nut nut.

Everything was fine as we watched the big white
bear frolicking with the smaller females at the
zoo. Then that same male attempted to climb the
back of another male and the ensuing bloody fight
caused entire families to run shrieking in the
other direction. Only then did I truly understand
the insidious effects of bipolar disorder.

Google Talk

Apparently it is a java app, not peer-to-peer like Skype and has been developed in coalition with Akamai, the distributed hosting service.

Interesting.......
