How many computers do you have in your house?
Submitted by Foomper.
I have three. Wait, no it's not that bad. Okay, it's a bit too many but hear me out here. I've got one that's a Powerbook 150 that I bought to take to France when I lived there. So that's from 1995, so it's pretty old and I just haven't thrown it away because I keep figuring that I'll find some way to use it for just plain old word processing.
Next I've got an iMac G5 which I sort of want to sell, but is currently acting as my media server since I can leave it on all the time to download podcasts, and I've got it plugged into an external hard drive for storing my music on. The last is my new black Macbook which is my main computer. I use that for writing, as well as graphic design, games and warming my bed up at night with it's hot hot base.
So three, but one is in a box and never used.
I got sent a new Nokia 6682 phone as part of a marketing program that's trying to get the phone in the hands of bloggers in both Toronto [mbt] and Vancouver [mbv]. The hope on the part of the marketing company in charge of the program is that I'll use it and blog about it.
I got it last night and started to charge it. Today I've loaded on Nokia's Lifeblog software [nok] which I guess will help me organize photos and notes on the phone, though it won't sync with my Macbook. I then loaded ShoZu [sz] on it to let it easily load my photos to my Flickr account.
My only complaint, aside from the lack of Mac compatibility, is that it's not got a full keyboard which would make mobile blogging so much easier. Posting from my BlackBerry is simple, even though I can't add photos, with the Nokia 6682 I'll be able to add photos but typing is going to be annoying. Still it'll be a nice portable video camera / camera that will let me take it out on the town. I'll be blogging more about it in the future.
