summer vacation

previous pod is taking a two week summer break.  in the meantime, however, I wanted to report that I had the opportunity to play with a bberry storm.  my cousin has had it since it was released in 2008.  I have NO idea how he's managed to deal with it for so long, the typing action gave me the willies.  I would have cut and run a long time ago, even if it was just over to the bold.  my cousin asked to see my iphone 4, and his eldest son snapped a photo of him doing it, declaring, "caption: Dad uses technology for the first time!"
