Android

One of my co-workers is a tech/gadget freak, sporting a Nokia N95. We have the nerdiest conversations about smartphones & firmware updates.
Recently I convinced him to use the Nokia Sports Tracker for the noble purpose of contributing to the OpenStreetMap project.
So we took off for a ride through Bruges and uploaded the GPS trace to the OSM website. Registering on websites sucks so my BugMeNot Firefox extension came in handy again.

Anyway, Google announced the first phone running the Android OS but forgot about the details in the promo pics:

Google decided to release their very own browser, called Chrome. Tech details: Webkit based (just like Safari), auto-completion (using the insane Google search database), one process for each tab,...



Will be testing this piece of software soon.



The august/september transition in public transportation life hits like a sledgehammer to the face. Noticed this week:
- a 14-year old girl showing off a pair of fluffy handcuffs
- a black man nearly snoring his nose off (actually thought it was a candid camera prank, hilarious!)
