I love this device. I must say, I’m addicted to Crackberry. I’m in New York on meetings this week, and I’ve been putting it to it’s full use. It’s great for me to Google map every meeting location as well as type emails on the go. I can read documents that my agent sends and get them real time, without having to scavenger for an internet connection.

So I thought…

Yesterday morning I woke up, ready to hit the pavement, and my crackberry wasn’t bringing in any incoming mail. Strange I thought, then I tried accessing Google maps. No dice. I started freaking out, pulling the battery off and kept resetting it in hopes that I could get it back online. Nothing. Finally about mid-day it started working again. I thought I was alone..

Then I read this morning’s New York Times article explaining that over five million users were without Blackberry data service. Guess Crackberry Anonymous is bigger than I thought.

It generates thoughts of how dependant we are on internet and technology.

I love technology. Not as much as you, you see. Always and Forever. Always and Forever.

I woke up this morning, and 5 minutes into using my computer, one of my LaCie drives started making the "Clicking Sound of Death" I’ve been in the process of double backing everything, but this is a solid reminder to get on it. I think the drive is toast. Moral of the story is, Don’t be lazy. Back Up consistently!
