Well, curiosity about Android finally got the better of me. More so, that curiosity was prompted by a call from ACS that said I could have a “free” Milestone. This is the US CDMA version of the Verizon Droid for small carriers, including Alaska Communications. Revisiting the iPad… Not that I have forgotten, or otherwise haven’t used this device, I thought more along the lines of “how” I use it. So, after all this time, I find that I don’t use 3G. I didn’t even “subscribe” this last month, and barely used tens of megabytes out of the 2GB I receive for $25USD from AT&T. I went to the Alaska Native Heritage Center this afternoon. On the bill was Arvel Bird. I saw him at the Mohican Pow-wow back in September in Loudenville, Ohio. When I met him, I mentioned being from Alaska. He said he would be in Alaska sometime in mid-November. He wasn’t sure of the location at the time, and we parted ways. Yes, I am a bit late to the party. It was a ‘wait and see’, followed by a bit of research before I purchased a factory unlocked phone. This followed the path of unlocked phones to use with my carrier, GCI, here in Alaska. Ok, so I never used the BT keyboard with the iPad. Shame on me. It looks like I didn’t know what I was missing… Hey, speaking of “missing”…! I was invited to spend New Year’s Eve at Big Beaver Lake. I was a bit reluctant to go at first, but sure glad I did. It was a great way to bring in the new year with some really great people. Russ and Linda were perfect hosts. I saw the tracks in the front yard and had wonder if the camera captured it. Thanks to the webcams, Mom finally caught a critter. I snagged a couple of tickets in the front row! But the amazing thing, after purchased the tickets for the Friday, November 13 concert, I received an email from The Breeze, KNIK 88.7 FM in Anchorage. It was from the program director informing me I had won a pair of tickets to the event. That was great, but since I already had tickets, I asked a guy at work if he would want them. He wasn’t familiar with Jeff Golub and Rick Braun who headlined the show, but he would ask his wife. If she didn’t want to go, he was sure one of his daughters would like to attend. Was raining “down below” this evening. As I climbed the hill toward home, the drops were mixed with some big, wet, sloppy snowflakes. Anchorage is small market. In late August, KNIK announced a change in programming. This was attributed to the down turn in the economy, and the need for ad revenue. That is a valid argument, until you look at the market. |    | |||||
