New Phone

I hate to have a new post, I really like the one thats at the top of the page.  But we must move forward.  I will keep this blog up to date on all of mine and masha's efforts.  As we pass hurdles in the Imigration proces and draw closer to a wedding date.  This will be the primary method if information distrabuiton.

I got a new phone.  Its a HTC G1.  Comanly called the Google phone.  It is truly an amazing piece of technology.  I have a strong feeling that I am now living in the future with this divice.  I can take pictures and uplaod them strate from the phone.  I'm working on intgrating that.  If I get it done right, there will be single image posts from time to time strate from the phone, possibley some video to (but thats a little harder).

So every one knows about wikipidea and how much information is on it and available.  Many of the articles have gelocation information in them.  You don't see it when you read the article, but it places them in a location on google earth.  Well with the G1, you can actualy have an augmented reality.  It turns the camera on, and you look around like you are looking through the camera.  It works in conjunction with the GPS in the phone and you can see icons floating over buildings then when you touch them on the screen (its a touch screen) it gives a small part of the wikipediea article.  Its an app for turists, so when you are in some strange city you can look for interesting things about the city...

The video will be a little slow. Its not me that the wait is about. The developers of it have not finalized the functionality of it yet.
