I just received my Verizon Droid from Google for development purposes during the Google i/o conference coming up in May. This is my 5th mobile device to use for testing games and applications on the Android platform and I have to say that the Nexus One device blows all of these out of the water.
I’ve been using the Nexus One as a user for a couple months now and love the user experience. So far I’m not impressed with the Droid please forgive me, hehe. The T-mobile G1 has the best keyboard on a phone yet no joke. The droid’s keyboard feels cheap and doesnt give me the feeling I’ve pressed the buttons down. I’m finding some delays while accessing apps vs. Nexus one.
Even with the all the issues its amazing to see how fast this industry is changing! If anyone wants to hookup at the conference before/during/after give me a ping!
After experiencing Google Wave and giving it a whirl I realized I would have more fun if I added people that shared common interests amongst Google Friends. I’ve added a Google Friend Connect pod on my blog so peeps can join me or create a new profile as a Google Friend. Become my friend on the Google Friend Connect pod (right) if you think we share common interests on Google Friend Connect. 
Over and out!
Well there are no new features or anything to oogle over unless you already have an existing account with Google Picasa. Picasa just upgraded the space you can get online so now instead of 40gigs for 75$ per year you can get 200gigs for 50$. Best starter deal I’ve seen is for 5$ you can get 20 gigs of space for photos.
The Rant:
In many ways I prefer Picasa Web Albums over Flickr or any other photo sharing site. I look for usability and speed. What the hell is Flickr thinking with that wacked out UI?! I showed a couple albums I had on Flickr to some friends and they couldnt figure out how to go next or back, hehe whatever! Google Picasa is the shizznit and I’ll leave it at that.
Thank you Picasa for the upgrade!
In this months National Geographic magazine there is an article on the Redwood forests in California. After reading issue after issue I haven’t been satisfied with National Geographic in a long time, but this issue has brought a lot of excitement in my world especially as I’m very active with camping and hiking through Redwood parks in NorCal. (Anything south of Santa Cruz is not worth the drive in my opinion).
For years I’ve always wondered what the best way would be to get a clear shot of a super tall redwood and these guys did it with proper approvals of course. Lots of steep climbing on other trees to get the right angle for compositing such a large image would have been complex. I’ve hiked into the hills just to pick off some good shots of tall trees or use a Fisheye lens, but nothing of this magnitude and clarity.
Keep California’s State parks and forests open to the public!
