Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Morning everyone! I'd say TGIF but I can't really complain these days. (I guess there are some perks to unemployment)

@ Captain - I don't lock my phone beyond the standard lock screen

@ NJ - haven't had a lot of avatar changes. Tink kind of sums up my personality pretty well I think :)

@ jmar - hold you're feeling better today

@ Razor - thanks for RSS, I got to glance at it but plan on looking at it fully later

@ Halon - good luck with the puppy

I think that covers most of what I read yesterday and this morning. Sorry if I forgot anything.

Today I get to run errands with Mom and Ann (my daughter). And tomorrow is the Renaissance Faire with a group of friends. Can't wait!
Hope everyone is having a good morning.
 
Yikes, interesting day in here. I'm crazy busy today at work. Check in a few for lunch is all I'm gonna get today.
 
Didn't even realize I was getting close to 1800:D

@Watering Hole: Many thanks. I am feeling much better. Glad I don't work today. Needed the extra day off. After all, it's not like I don't work 50+ hours a week or anything crazy like that!

Don't be surprised if you see cops at your local Carmike Cinema. A bomb threat was called into corporate office about bombs placed around the country.
 
Don't mean to get all political or anything in here, but there should be some pretty stiff penalties for all these copy cat bomb threats, mass murder threats, etc.. It's terrorism and should be dealt with as such. Life in prison/death penalty should not be off of the table of discussion.

I, too, have strong feelings about this subject.
 
Hey All!

I'm ready for the weekend! Going to spend it hiking and kayaking so it should be fun. Its been 2 months since winning the Google io contest and have not received the nexus 7 or q so I'm just going to go pick up the nexus 7 this weekend ! I'm excited I've been dying for one since its birth!
 
Welcome to the Watering Hole, JHT! :)

Halon, good luck with the dog. Sounds easy enough: leave it to my daughter to try and convince a landlord to allow a hedgehog! These TN folks don't even know what that is! :p

Have a great WEEKEND!
 
Well friends, you get lucky, today's RSRSS comes earlier than usual since I'm leaving right from work :) Next one will be on Monday!
