What fun; it seems I've been upgrading my entire life. After the fog light incident, I did some manic rearranging of my A/V system.
Edit: this post seems to be fairly popular with people looking for info on replacing these Volkswagen New Beetle fog lights and headlights. I have become an accidental specialist on the subject, so if you have any questions or suggestions, please comment or email me. As a bonus, here's a VWvortex thread on the subject of removing the front bodywork.
No, it's not just me.
The New Beetle has had a broken fog lamp lens since we bought it. No serious problem, except cosmetically. I bought The Lovely One a new fog lamp (you pretty much have to buy the whole assembly, the lens doesn't seem to be available on its own from most suppliers).
Hum. I wonder if I can get all of this phone-stuff out of my system all at once in one conclusive post.
Probably not. But I dare to try!
Gord (who is faster than me) points out in a comment on my previous post that I could just get Nokia's wireless keyboard. Well yeah, if I wasn't really cheap!
But he's got a point, and I think it illuminates where I see phones going.
Pretty nice, huh?
That's with the phone in the Nokia 6682 Matchstick and Rogers sent my way.
On the other hand, this was taken with the same camera:
And so I shall. It's arrived today. It came with a small memory card, a big memory card, a bluetooth headset, two sets of stereo headphones/headsets, identical except for color, a mini-jack-to-nokia plug adapter, and probably something I forgot. I'm now putting the software on The Lovely One's laptop, since iSync sync is via Bluetooth only (and probably less capable than Nokia's wacky Lifeblog).
I've been thinking lately. Here's an update.
-I just wrote--well, mostly The Lovely One wrote--a few hundred "tips" for "Divas" and "Playas." I suppose the politic thing to do would be to talk about how interesting it was (the contractor may or may not read this blog), but in truth it was a weird experience. I got to write in a different dialect, trying to think up livestyle tips for people very much unlike me. True story: I used Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" as the inspiration for some of the tips. Any port in a storm.
