More Treo 600 While I was in Boston last week, I got to hold a Treo 600 (the GSM version, no less!). I was primarily interested in its size in relation to my current phone, a Nokia 68xx. These pictures are a little blurry, but convey what I wanted (I was shooting far too close). As you can see, the Treo is wider by about a third more, but not much taller. It's also a little thicker, but not by much. ...Will any of you actually be surprised when I finally buy one of these things!? ;-) 9:34:12 PM    trackback []

Running out of steam My last class, International Marketing, was heavily disrupted by a week-long wedding trip to Hawaii, as well as a business trip to Boston. What's more, the instructor required all assignments on Monday night, which meant I was up past midnight most Mondays, working with team members in Alaska. After a dismal week 1, I recovered enough to earn a solid B, which whacked my GPA a bit. Now I'm in my last full class at UoPhx, the capstone course, and find myself gritting my teeth thru it. This capstone course seems to be a combination ethics review and coursework measurement. The instructor seems nice enough, but requires that each discussion questions include citations and references, which in effect turns each DQ into a mini-essay. Now, instead of jotting off a response during a break in the day, I have to spend my entire Sunday morning researching and composing my responses... and I have a full 1200-word paper due tomorrow as well. In short, I've lost momentum for this coursework. My heart isn't in it anymore. I'm so close to being done, and all I want to do is throw my fists up and scream at the top of my lungs. The business of weblogs is calling me, and I feel so distracted. 12:39:42 PM    trackback []
