Mobile Phone Geekery

I've finally head enough breathing space to replace my slowly-dying Motorola E815 cell phone. In fact, I've transitioned to... another E815!

[livejournal.com profile] dr_scott upgraded his service recently; with his old phone of no use and me searching for just that model, he kindly shipped over to the east coast.

With the help of Verizon Wireless' Backup Assistant app and their website, I was able to backup my old contact list, activate the replacement phone and restore my data to it. Alas, the backup/restore app didn't retain the ringer ID settings or any of my photos but I can handle those manually or restore the images via Bluetooth from my iMac. Life is good!

Edit: [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr just called me on the replacement phone... yay!

Evil In Action

When I was out at lunch today, I saw the following atrocity:



Yup, it's not bad enough that she parked illegally in a disabled parking spot so she could make a phone call. No, she had to park diagonally to take up two disabled parking spots. Idiot.
