treo 650

I had a moto v600, which of course I could not wait to get. I had 5 in less than a year. Talk about problems! I ordered a 650 through att (not cingular) and received it about a week ago. I'll post more later, but I have to say that I love this thing. What's up with the stingy memory and no mp3 ringtones? Anyway, edge blows away gprs and one can actually surf the web from a mobile. I am actually posting from my Treo now. Ciao for now.

Yahooz

Went to Yahooz in Leawood last night for dinner.
Totally forgot that it was the weekend before Valentines Day.
Oops.
Anyway, we had reservations and after a small wait, got right in.
The service was quite friendly, one of the owners was walking around talking to and helping bus tables.
I think the kitchen was extremely concerned about getting behind, beacause the food flew out.
Not too quick (maybe a touch). I'm sure the speed of the kitchen helped keep the wait down though.
While a beautiful restaurant with high, beamed ceilings, it is oddly quiet no matter how busy.
Anyway, overall a very good experiance.

Mercedes CLS 500

I'm leaving lunch at Houlihans in Leawood and what do I happen to see?
That's right a Mercedes CLS 500!
In Kansas City of all places.
This car is a beauty.

Chicago Chow?

Ok, the presumption here is that someone will read this, but here goes.
I'm going to Chicago in a couple of weeks, staying downtown.
Tips on newer restaurants to eat at would be greatly appreciated.
I will be staying near the Four Seasons off Michicagn Avenue.

150 Free Gmail accounts

Go to this site and email these guys for a gmail account.
Google has been handing these out bit by bit, but now there is a flood.
Anyway, if you still don't have one, it's a pretty handy tool to use.

Treo still on the way!

Am I being selfish about wanting this right now? It's tough to be a good roll model for my daughter when I am just as needy (if not more so) than her.
IT has finally gotten around to configuring it to work with our servers so I should see it today or tomorrow.

Nick & Jakes and buffet brunch

Overall, I like these guys.
I tend to go to the one in Leawood on 135th.
The restaurants are always very clean and have very friendly staff.
I went their for brunch the other day.
They switched from a menu to a buffet brunch.
We went ahead and stayed due to company we were in.
However, we probably won't be back for the brunch.
As good as it looked, it's pretty pricey and I am not big on customers foraging through my food.

Treo 650 on the way!

I have wanted this one for a while now.
I have a Motorola v600 (which I also wanted).
It's a love hate with the Moto. I am on my 5th one so far. It seems to keep re-booting. Sometimes when in the middle of a call, sometimes not. Pretty annoying. ATTWS offered to give me a different phone, but wouldn't tell me which model. I'm not too hip on that.
Anyway, that will now be my back-up phone (love the sim card and gsm).
My Treo has been in someone's office for about a week.
I should have it later this week.
Finally, something that's not too big that I can use to take notes, keep my calendar and oh yeah, use as a phone.
