In an email from Paul.

Please deduct 100 man points from my total.  Anyone that can install a brake pad inside out deserves no less…

(at least now I know what that grinding noise was)

Paul has been installing brakes for the past week.  He struggled with the installation and none of his friends would ever have suggested that he would have the pad on ass backwards.  Simple lesson to Paul, put the brake pad on the right way.  Harder lesson to learn may be telling his friends. :-).

Lesson to all of us would be to keep asking the stupid questions.  You never know when this could happen.

After settling into my first week with the Motorola Droid, I have a much better understanding of its capabilities and shortcomings. I have become more familiar with the UI and can navagate between apps much more quickly than this time last week.

I’m surprised at what the device is capable of, but there are a couple of missing peices.

1) There is no provision for signature blocks in the POP mail client.

2) While the phone is capable of isolating numbers and addresses in websites and emails and sending them directly to the phone or nav system, it cannot direct this information to the contact list.

3) The navagation software talks while taking calls.

Some of these issues are rumored to be addressed in and Over the Air update due in the middle of December. We’ll see.

Some of the problems I have encountered were simply a product of my lack of knowledge with the phones interface. I’ll give it another week and see how far I progress.

For the past couple of days, I’ve been experimenting with my latest toy, my Motarola Droid. I’ve never owned a “smart phone” prior to this so the learning curve is steep, but the climb appears to be paying off. This post was generated from my new toy as will many to follow. Here we go!

Add or subtract? I don’t think that we established if you would get manpoints for having your manhood removed permanently?

Also, Louis should be nominated for manpoints for knocking up his wife.

It is time to get Manpoints running again. Jay is way ahead and I really do not believe that all of you are letting that go unchallenged.

Nominate someone for some Manpoints.

I have nominated Ed for getting springs on his car this past weekend and another 300 for being married to Jess.
