Laughable Sprint response

I sent email to Sprint asking when the next firmware update would be available for my Samsung A900 to address the Bluetooth issues I've been having, and part of the response I got back was

We at Sprint perform stringent tests and trials before launching any product, therefore there is no fixed time period for the software launch.

Another new blog system

Last weekend when my wife were on a weekend getaway, I thought it would be neat to be able to blog offline and then upload my entries when I got home (we had no Internet access where we were). (The getaway was to get away from our house, not our work.) I started down the path of writing a program to do this, but didn't finish over the weekend. Yesterday I discovered a program called MarsEdit which did exactly that. However, it didn't support the blogging system I used. So I decided to switch over to WordPress as it is supported by MarsEdit and is quite popular. To top it off, the interface was a bit more to my liking. However, the transition was not easy, but I managed to get all the articles moved over.

The downside of upgrading

I'll admit it, I'm a geek and wanted the latest and greatest. Do I have a need for it? Not usually, however, I upgrade most of my software as soon as an update comes out with 2 main exceptions, Quicken and QuickBooks. Upgrades for both seem to do very little for me. I had to upgrade QuickBooks in April because it didn't function properly in Tiger.

San Diego Chargers or is it San Diego Whiners

The San Diego Chargers have decided not to put their expansion/renovation plans for the stadium and surrounding area on the ballot for November. This is excellent in my opinion as they are a private enterprise that seems to want concessions from the city and wants the city to spend tax payer dollars to help them make money. I'm not a sports fan, so maybe I'm jaded, but why should the Chargers get special treatment? Does sports really help the economy? From what I've read, not really (in terms of net gain).
