Last week I adopted two 4 1/2 month old kittens from the county animal shelter just down the street. I went with my mother to pick two out and i found Squeek (boy) and Sneezy (girl).
I wasn’t able to take them home until this last tuesday, because they hadn’t been spayed/neutered yet. So they had surgery Monday. Unfortunately, when i picked them up, they both had upper respiratory infections. So they came home with a prescription. They’re still sneezing and are somewhat congested, but I took them to the vet yesterday for a checkup, and the vet said to finish the medication, and if they get worse, bring them back.
I think they’ll be better in no time.

Looks like my theme is acting up again. The sidebars and comments are showing up on the single post pages.
I’ve been thinking about going to a more simpler theme. The new default theme looks nice. I might change to that this week.
Update: I’ve changed the theme to the WordPress 2010 theme. Still tweeking it though.

I’ve been using the Motorola Droid X since a couple days after it was released. I am very impressed with this phone. This has to be one of the best phones I’ve used so far. Here are some of the things I like and dislike.
Likes:
Full integration with Google Accounts (both Gmail and Google Apps)
Full integration with Google Voice
Decent battery life (~6-8 hours heavy use)
Removable battery
Widgets
Huge display screen
Social network integration
Clear calls
Dislikes:
If an app crashes, sometimes the phone will freeze and I’ll have to pull the battery. Doesn’t happen often.
Silicone case I bought for the phone (I know, non phone issue)
Ring tones and notification tones suck for the most part.
My mind kind of blanked while writing this, so I’m sure I’m going to update this quite a bit. What are your likes/dislikes about the Motorola Droid X?

So I made the jump from iPhone to Android. I’ve had an iPhone since the iPhone 3G came out (bought a first generation iPhone at that time). I then bought the iPhone 3GS when it came out. I like the iPhone a lot, but I like to try new things, and when the Motorola Droid X was announced, I had to have it.
I must say that the Droid X is an awesome phone. I haven’t had it long enough to do an in depth review of it, so I’ll just say that it is very comparable to the iPhone, and I love it. I haven’t cancelled my AT&T service yet (I’m a procrastinator when it comes to these things), but will do so very soon.
One of the great features of the Android phones, is that I can fully integrate my Google Voice account with my phone. I give out my Google Voice phone number, and calls automatically come to my phone, and outgoing calls are routed through as well. I also have my voice mail going to Google Voice, so I get free visual voice mail, and they’re automatically transcibed for me. Another good thing about Google Voice, is that I use it for SMS messaging, so I don’t have to pay extra for so many texts a month.
Overall it’s been a great experience with Android. Do you have an Android phone, or an iPhone?

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted, so I thought I’d post an update. In the last few weeks, I’ve gotten back into the Amateur Radio hobby. I’ve been a licensed operator since 2004, but never bought a radio.
I recently bought a Kenwood TM-D710A for my car. I’m also planning on joining a local radio club. You can find more about my setup here.
Other than amateur radio, I’ve been super busy at work, so I haven’t had a chance to tear down and redo my aquarium. Hopefully I can get to it soon.
I also have projects around the house I need to start on. I need to put sprinklers and grass in, need to finish replacing wall switches and power receptacles, paint the main upstairs bathroom, and work on the master bathroom.
Lots of work to be done.
