So, Sony Ericsson announced the release of XPERIA X1 phone.

XPERIA X1 phone

Go to that website, read some more news about this toy, or do whatever is it you do to research a new gadget.

As for me, I am going to start reading up on this.  I am sick of my Motorola Q and have been thinking about changing it to something else for months now (even though I’ve had it for less than a year).

We’ll see how things go, but so far this is the best alternative to iPhone that I have seen.

Windows mobile is somewhat important to me at the moment (ability to push to/from Exchange is a good thing) so X1 sounds like a great buy.

MILITARY MEDICAL MISTREATMENT & THE FERES DOCTRINE

Got this clip emailed to me with this message:

WOW! Remember how you were talking about the different levels of human (jail inmates lowest and then Military)? Well there is a short news clip on the Feres Docterine (Prevents military people to sue the govt for medical malpractice) and it is really stunning.

So true. Problems, problems…

So, we went to see Hot Club of Philadelphia at World Cafe Live.

Was tons of fun! I wasn’t planning to attend this event, it sort-of just fell onto my lap.

Ended up being quite interesting and entertaining. Openers sucked, as usual, but the main band (the Hot Club) were on the point.

Here are some crappy cell phone videos I took:

If you get a chance to, definitely check these guys out! You will not be disappointed.

VERY nice work, I think.

FYI, first one is kind of X-rated… Just so you know :)

NAIVE - 4to Nam Delat’ (in Russian)

NAIVE - Obyvatel (in Russian). Very cool idea and delivery! Much respect!

Russian dinner party

Oh, yes, I did it! I made a Russian party :)
So, here’s the a recipe for a good Russian-food party:
1. be Russian.
2. go to Russian store and buy food.
3. enjoy the food.
:)
Yep, it’s that simple! :)
No, really, this was fun! Especially the flaming/burning sausage thing. Come out really good. It’s like an instant BBQ with just 151 rum :)
