Today has been a bit busy... I spent the better part of 5 hours today working on a big diagram for the PDC - most of it working in Illustrator doing the all important task of moving a box from one location to another... in the end I think we have a pretty good picture.

In addition we had a big review for my team where we do a check point on all the "feature teams" for the next milestone - basic stuff, what are you doing, how much time will it take, etc. This consumed around 3 hours.

Given that I wanted to get the phone, oh - and I needed to do some screen swaping with a friend (more later), I had to boogie. I went to the local T-Mobile store (not too local though, the one down the street was out) and picked up the Nokia 3650. It is big... and it was expensive (about $80 more than I expected... ugh)... I figure if I don't like it I have something like 15 days to return it.

Anyway, so I have the phone and been playing a little with it (not too much)... unfortunately I haven't been able to suck any pictures off the device to see what they look like, nor have I been able to write any software to download.

... the screen swap. I bought my friend's old (12 month old) Stewart GreyHawk FilmScreen for my theater (100" 16x9)... he was bumping down to a 92" and switching from GreyHawk to FireHawk to move to a more "TV-like" experience... yeah, 92" is a TV :)

The net result is that I have a new screen to install in my "sane-budget" theater. It was funny, when we unpacked the 92" to install at his place we both got a bit worried thinking that it was too small. We put it beside the 100" and it wasn't that much smaller, but it just felt a lot smaller. Once we got it on the wall it looked great, so no worried.

When I unpacked the 100" at my house it looked huge! I mean this thing looked like it would barely fit on the wall, let alone be watchable. I still haven't mounted it (that will be tomorrow), but once I placed it in approximately the same place it will be, it looks great. Size is always relative.

Of course, before I left his house we had to play with his new MS Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. It was pretty cool, installed very easily... the bad news - it wouldn't wake his machine up from sleep (blocking issue) and I couldn't get my new camera to talk with the PC through the adapter (I'm sure that is a user error on my part... given that I spent a total of 10 minutes with the phone and 3 minutes with the bluetooth adapter)...

Now I'm catching up on email, blogs, and starting to read the phone manual. Tomorrow I have to finish the diagram, figure out how to get my phone to sync with Outlook, and sleep... eventually.
