Blackberry vs. iPhone

Last night I went to renew my phone contract. I knew I wanted to move to a data phone, however, was undecided between a Blackberry or an iPhone.

The new iPhones look really cool. They have lots of fun features, and of course the new hot tech toy. When I went to ask about getting one, the guy almost laughed at me and told me it would be a 2 month wait. If I wanted to go with the older version, it would still be a 1 month wait.

With that in mind I asked about the Blackberry. He told me that this phone would be much better for the kind of use that I would be doing. It was more economical to buy, and available right now! This made my decision much easier... Blackberry it was!

I now an the owner of a Blackberry Curve. I have no idea how to run it, but am slowly learning. I am actually finding it is much more like a iPhone then I thought as far as features goes.

If you have any suggestions on apps or features on it that you really like, please let me know. I am taking all suggestions at this point

The Evolution Begins

The world of Avatar is something that is all very new to me. So when the new James Cameron movie came out, I was not jumping up and down to see it. Sure it had great technology, and supposedly a decent store line, but it was not just overly appealing to me.

Over the weeks, I kept hearing more and more reports about how amazing the movie was. Finally tonight I was able to see the movie, and what an experience it was.

The first thing that is truly unbelievable is the 3-D experience. To have the movie jump off the screen, and be right on your lap, its amazing. The way we watch movies really has changed. Secondly, the idea and work that went into this film is unlike any other. To creating a new language to new animals, and a new culture takes more time then you can imagine.

Once you settle in to the movie, the story takes place. It is a great mix of action, emotion, and a little bit of romance as well. The movie has a great plot, and takes you to another world, literally!

One of my new favorite actresses Zoe Saldana is the lead actress. Not only is she beautiful in real life, but she makes a beautiful tall blue woman as well!
If you have the chance go see this movie, especially in the theatre. I don't think that watching it at home will give you nearly the same effect.
