Droid x day one

This is day one on droid x, switching from my beloved blackberry curve. Initial decision I was considering a curve or bold from blackberry. The newest models have blacberry os 6, which finally has a webkit browser. The droid x provided two killer features: 1. The flash capable browser. 2. Hdmi output. These are features that bb should have had. Can you imagine the phone becoming the only tool you need? Plug into a projector for presentations, or monitor and keyboard?

Closed Captioning At Calvary Church

[GUEST POST] Hi, my name is David Brace. My wife and I have been members of Calvary Church for more than 25 years. I have had a life long history of hearing impairment, but in 2002, following surgery to correct a problem with a cochlear implant, I ended up losing the last of what hearing I had. I must admit that I was a bit frightened when I found out that I would not regain any hearing, but it did not take long for God to move in and reassure me that all would be okay. Romans 8:28-30 kept going through my mind. We decided to try learning American Sign Language and attend a church where there was an interpreter for the deaf. A long story made short, after five years of trying, although I had made many friends among the deaf, we just could not receive the level of preaching we had received under Ed Dobson.

Helping Kids with Diabetes one Handful of Candy at a Time

We've got one of those candy machines at work - you know, the kind where you get a handful of skittles or M&M's? Ours benefits the Juvenile Diabetes foundation. It took a co-worker to point out to me the total irony in that, and that title is his quote, but I liked it. Come to think of it, the Lions Club uses those too, and they help the blind. ( there's a link between blindness and diabetes )
