Welcome to 2010, Brother

Nicholas recently joined 2010 with his new Droid. Apparently, a life changing experience. I believe his cellular service provider actually contacted him about updating his device(s). Now that's saying something. Below is an email exchange that started because of his incredibly prompt response to our Mom's reminder email about our Grandmother's birthday today. It was just too good to pass up sharing. It's posted with his permission. (Start at the bottom.)

And while we're on the topic (Mom's phone) "isn't smart or dumb it just doesn't work most of the time". That's a direct quote, folks.

I'll keep you posted.

Smart phone technology has forever changed my world........it really is incredible.

It must be a very similar feeling to when the original mobile phones came out

for the earlier generations. Just for example Ian and I were up in Maine this

weekend and felt like a delicous chinese lunch buffet.....in the past this would

have been a major endeavor however with smart phone droid technology,

I google it, from google I read several reviews and find an excellent buffet just

2.8 miles from our current location, not being locals I click on maps and get

instant driving directions....15 mins after initially wanting awesome chinese

buffet, I was scooping piles of boneless spare ribs out of a luke warm metal bin.....welcome to 2010 nick vakay.

Wow. Nick. You were on this like white on rice. What'd ya have, a new smartphone? ;-) Joking aside, I completely agree with your sentiment. Lucky for me this 3hr time difference pans out sometimes. I was able to call Gma on my drive into the office today since its almost lunchtime at home. Have a good one! k The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea. –Isak Dinesen
