Fortuitous Bouncing

I got up way too early yesterday so I could be sure to get my hands on the Droid that came out for Verizon. I’ve never had a phone that had apps or could check email or could use the internet. It is a really weird shift to be able to do all those things all the time, whenever I want. The phone change also reminds of the need for boundaries in internet usage. Anyone else get a Droid or going to get one? So far I’ve been really pleased.
Watch out for Nebraska to pull an upset on Oklahoma tonight….or not.

News
- A church in Dallas has announced plans for building a $130 million campus downtown. Yes…you read that correctly. And no, I don’t think that is cool.
- Looks like Google might be making a play to get into the music business.
- Listen to the new album by The Swell Season once through for free. Definitely worth a listen.
- I could think of better places to crash land a plane.
Blessings to you.

You forgot a very important letter (or a lot of zeros) behind “$130.” I was genuinely intrigued until I went and looked at the article.
Lol, wow. Somehow my final edits of the post didn’t take. Weird. I changed it. I’m sure you got a kick out of a 130 dollar church campus though.
Yeah, I was really wondering what a megachurch would pull off for $130 dollars.
Thanks for the link, and to answer you’re question — they’re starting to. Check out our coverage of religion and bikes in Portland, Ore.:

I would consider the Droid more if it wasn’t so just plain ugly. OS looks awesome, but the 80’s retro never looks good with tech. I wish their was an HTC DROID Eris and Motorola Droid hybrid. HTC’s design with Droid’s everything else.
You will learn this shortly, but mobile internet will forever change the way you poop. lol
Missed Jason’s great post, thanks for highlighting!
