Palm To Bluetooth To Motorola V330 To T-mobile, Nothing But Net

I'm still not exactly sure why it broke, but I was able to get my network connection back up on my palm over my phone. The problem might be on the palm, but for all I know, could still be the result of a configuration change on the T-mobile side, but what I do know is that the palm app Mobile High Speed got me up and running again.

Palm Bluetooth GPRS/Edge connection to T-mobile failing.

Dear LazyWeb,

2 days ago, my T3 locked up. not that odd of an occurrance, but it hasn't happened in months, almost a year. To get the palm up and running again, I had to restore from a backup, which, was a week old. not that big of a loss. Everything came back up, and I was able to connect the the shared internet connection running off of my wife's PC with no problems.

The next day… (more…)

  • Leeches? That's Barbarism. Hookworm, On The Other Hand…: Ancylostoma duodenale

    British scientists infect themselves with hookworms to cure allergies, asthma and Crone's disease.

    My favorite quote:

    Professor David Pritchard and his team at Nottingham University's School of Pharmacy administered different amounts of the hookworms to themselves to prove that it would be safe. Pritchard himself stuck 50 of the larvae onto his skin. 'It was fairly itchy when they first go through the skin,' he admitted. 'After that you don't really notice them.'

What Do You Mean, Monocles Are Out of Style?!?

Me with GlassesLast week I decided it was time to go to the eye doctor and get a checkup, since the last time I was there, I wasn't yet driving. I hadn't really noticed any vision problems, but thought it was time for a health checkup. 20/20 in my right eye, and… hmm, this is odd… 20/50 in my left eye, plus an astigmatism. The doctor was amazed I hadn't noticed any problems. I just don't close my right eye very often, without my left eye following along. Turns out my left eye is a bit of a slacker, wasn't really doing much besides light depth perception duty.

Seeing how I only needed correction on one eye, I asked the fine folks at Lenscrafters if I could see their monocle selection. They don't sell monocles! But these guys do. What have I learned? Monocle prices are almost exactly half the cost of a pair of glasses. Just As You Would Expect.
