Get Your Own Online Resume

I recently came across a really cool site/product called Ceevee that allows you to have your resume online and your own URL free of charge. Aside from free registration, putting it together is really, really simple. I can't wait to be able to just copy and paste my URL into the body of an email. No more attaching! Woohoo! And you can tell people in conversation to just look up your URL instead of having to send them an email. It makes it easier to get my resume out there to more people. Get 'er done at Ceevee.com.

The Lemonade Movie

I went to a film presentation tonight at the Books & Books in Coral Gables for a film called Lemonade. It is about creative advertising professionals who were laid off in this recession and their innovative approach to making a living. It was amazing! The film has not yet been released but I highly recommend it to anyone who is unemployed, hates their job or is unsure about what to do with their life. Its hope-reviving and totally inspiring. I feel like quitting my job and doing my own thing!..(whatever that may be). The writer of the film, Eric Proulx (who is also featured in the film), was there to present it. You can sign up to be notified when the film comes out at lemonademovie.com and watch the trailer there, too. Be prepared to feel the urge to do something crazy and a little wreckless. You can also check out Eric's blog Pleasefeedtheanimals.com. I would like to close this post with: "Can i say Fuck You?"

The Pet Doorbell

Attention fellow owners of un-potty-trainable-doggies: I found this item and I'm dying to get it. It's a pet doorbell that pets can buzz when they need to go out and do the peepers creepers or other fun stuff. Its exactly what I need for my stubborn dogs (particularly the min pin). It says no training necessary...I believe it! Because I want it to be true.  Buy it for me?

Why I Love the MyTouch!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I got my new Mytouch and I gotta say…I am NOT sad. I thought I might miss having my cool sidekick that opens up like a switch blade, but no. Most of the differences that I have experienced with the Mytouch are good.
Pros:

• Love the apps! I didn’t even understand what apps were a few weeks ago. I would always hear about them: “Apps this, apps that” but I just had no interest in finding out what they were. Well, I get it now. I love them!!! AND…so many of them are FREE!!!

• You can open multiple windows in your web browser (sidekick didn’t let me do this)

There are only a couple of things I have some difficulty with.

• Typing on the touch screen; I was so used to the QWERTY board that I could type without looking. Now, the touch screen in combination with the automatic spell checker has made me send a couple of texts to my boyfriend that say “Mean!” instead of “Mwa!”

• The Camera has no flash :(

Despite these cons, I LOVE the Mytouch! It has great battery life, so many entertaining options and lots of free stuff…myfavorite.

What Sidekick Users Deserve

I am one of the many unfortunate t-mobile sidekick users who have lost so much of their personal information. I have been a loyal sidekick owner who has upgraded from one model to another and just could not see myself going to anything else that didn’t have that special swivel screen that flips open. Even before being a loyal sidekicker, I was a loyal T-mobile customer for several years. As many people have pointed out, this recent service disruption that sidekicks have undergone has been highly inconvenient, especially for those who have conducted business and stored business contacts and information on their sidekick device. But…let us not forget that it’s still very inconvenient for those who don’t. Most of us have stored important information including contacts, to-do lists, appointments, deadlines, account numbers and passwords on what we thought was our device; not the technology cloud on the manufacturer’s database.

T-mobile is proposing to pacify sidekick users with a $20 data credit as well as $100 gift card that may be used towards T-mobile products or bills. T-mobile should act as if their customers’ time and loss is worth something more than that. After losing so much personal information as well as enduring what felt like a long week of no internet access among other features, sidekick users deserve more.

Sidekick users who stay with T-mobile should be allowed to upgrade to the myTouch for free. I don’t think it is fair that as a result of the trouble we were caused, that we would have to pay to get the new phone (even after factoring in the $100 credit) AND our monthly data service charges will go from $20 to $35. Sidekick users will end up paying more money per month due to the inconvenience caused to them. It would be more than fair for T-mobile to allow users to upgrade to a myTouch for free while adjusting the monthly data fee to match the one that we currently have for sidekick. Forget the $100. That is still T-mobile profiting from a grand error.
