I'll have to call in sick to work tomorrow, I simply don't have enough gas in the car to make it in and payday isn't until Friday.

My bus did not show up. I missed my train because of that. Got the next bus. I had to wait 20 minutes outside in the sun. I was half an hour later at home...

I decided to get a second hard drive (old one is 5 years old and 2 year out of warranty now) and then decided to "fix" a bunch of random minor things inside my computer while I'm at it. Now I'm down $100:(.

All three samsung phones I had were very unstable, did they fix that?

My Galaxy S3 is more stable than my previous Droid X, anyway. But my Droid X was crap once Verizon and Motorola put the Android 2.2 and 2.3 updates on it.

Likewise, my Galaxy S3 has gotten progressively worse with every Android update that Verizon put on there. I'm not sure if that is really Samsung's or Google's fault, though. I just think that Verizon's bloatware and lack of proper QA testing is the real culprit.

I have to fix JUnits today... I hate JUnits. Only because Eclipse is a piece of shit and I can't get them to run unless I close and reopen my JVM 50 fucking times...

My first and only smartphone is a Galaxy S5. It works well, but I'm still figuring it out. Stable as it gets, and very smooth. I've been impressed with it.

I wouldn't own an Apple device if it were given to me.

My Mom brought by a piece of German chocolate cake and a box of specialty cookies. Just had my cholesterol checked and the LDL is stupid high. I gave the cookies back.

On what basis? This seems pretty absurd.

Almost every engineer that was pro-android here has eventually moved to the iphone unless they wanted those tablet sized phones that you can see from space.

I require control of my devices. Apple takes control every time. Additionally, I don't support Apple in any manner, Using their device, even if it's free to me, puts money in their pocket. It's also a tacit endorsement of their company and ecosystem, and I give no endorsement whatsoever.

Not that Samsung is much better, but I have control. I'm patiently waiting for the neo900 to be released, and that will be a platform I can really get behind.

Wow. That's pretty self-defeating.
