Gotta Love iPhone

I had an old Samsung flip phone for many years and I kept checking smart phones and asking about the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy in the last few weeks to see what people thought of them. I researched a few forums on both phones and I finally came to a decision yesterday. I upgraded both Nath and my phone to iPhone 4 with the 500MB data package. It seems really great and with face time and the fact that it works right out of the box with no tweaking (like Android) I was very pleased. The monthly bill will be a little higher and the price for both phones is much more than the android but I have an iMac and 3 iPod Touch in the house so the iPhone is easier to use for us.

Hope it lives up top it's reputation. So far so good but it's only been 24 hours;D

Is spring here yet?

I am sooo fed up with winter it's not even funny. I put the battery on my bike this week, I have my clubs ready for my first round and my hockey gear is put away. What's missing? Spring and summer of course. With the threat of severe flooding in Manitoba, I doubt that golf courses will be playable for at least another full month if not more. Some courses are located along the major rivers so a few of their holes will likely be under water. Others have poor drainage hence many holes have standing water on the fairways for a long period. As for the ridding, this city takes for ever to clean its streets so it is dangerous to venture out too early with all the sand that was laid this winter. All I hope is that spring finishes its installation ASAP so we can download summer and enjoy it.

Cheers!
