i've had the cingular 3125 smartphone for a month now, and loving it. my first smartphone turned me into an anti-social snob because of missed calls, flaky connection, and having to reboot it a couple of times a day. i didn't want to make phone calls nor pick them up. my family and friends weren't very happy about this. i resorted to the free nokia brick to regain some credibility, but i missed t9 and my calendar. the 3125 is a direct rip-off of the motorola razr: streamlined, metal keypad with a thin clam shell design. it slips nicely in most of my pants of coat pockets and doesn't draw very much attention. today, i had to head to belltown to vote, and didn't remember the street address to the voting booth, but knew the name of the building (the bell tower is as depressing as it looks on the outside). i used the mobile version of windows live search to find the address. i forgot to print out the stranger's election cheat sheet, and didn't want to completely rely ...

jas and i realized how lucky we are to be living in our current house (despite it being month-to-month) when we saw the magical house that our landlords, ron and david are currently working on. they were hosting a hat show for one a friend, and we were able to take a peak around the rest of the house. they bought a church in ballard and in the painful process of remodelling it. everywhere you step, there's something interesting to look and awww at. i love that they have the freedom to dream and put it to execution. i can't wait for it to all come together. it's like watching a small scale sagrada familia being built.

i just found out that amazon sells groceries, and the first thing i looked up was kim-chi. i was very happy to find something that matched after many combinations: kim-chee, kimchee, kimchi, kim-chi! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E18CUU/qid=1148882317/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-9599866-9520161?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=grocery&v=glance&n=16310101 it's not canned kim-chi, but the next best thing - kim-chi flavored instant noodles. what's even more exciting is that it's healthy and a flavor that the local trader joe's doesn't carry. some things i'd like to see: - carry more ethnic variety: where's the ramen? every college kid is going to look for this. most of what they have is something i can find at the nearest convenience store. - display the nutrition info: it does display the ingredients (and even preparation steps) and brand description (for example, annie chun is korean) but no nutrition facts? - create a fun browsing ...
