Gear Diary: LG 55″ 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV (2011 model) via LogicBUY
One of my students excitedly hurried into my classroom the other day, exclaiming that I had to see her new phone. Kids show me their new gadgets everyday, but this was obviously something special since the other students were just as excited. When she presented it to me she just exclaimed, “3D!”
In her hand was one of the newest Android handsets from LG to sport 3D technology. The LG Thrill is exclusive to ATT and can be purchased for $99. The hardware seemed nice and was similar to other Android phones I have played with, but I really just checked out the 3D features quickly. I shot a couple… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
“Yes, but they’re coming in, aren’t they?”
“Yes . . . in dribs and drabs.”
“In what and whats?” Glen asked, grinning.
“Dribs and drabs. My mother used to say that. You shitting on my mom’s way of talking?”
“The day will never come in when I lose enough respect for my own hide to shit on a Texan’s mother, Stuart.”

I was born in New England, grew up in Northern Virginia, went to High School and College in Northern California, married a Cajun, and live in Louisiana. Let’s just say that my collection of slang is even wider than Stuart Redmond from The Stand. And I’m never one to pass… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Last week I wrote up a quick post about sending in my G2X to T-Mobile due to excessive screen bleeding issues. After receiving a new phone, returning a phone, and two more chats with T-Mobile representatives I’m sitting here with the same phone I started out with. If you are unaware of the screen bleeding issues check out my post here, or pretty much any G2X forum anywhere on the web and you are bound to see what I’m talking about. After ordering… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
LG recently brought all their IPS goodness to Android with the Introduction of the T-Mobile G2X. Before getting this phone I was happily running a HD2 that still holds a spot on my shelf as my number one backup phone. With more dual core superphones launching by the minute, LG really had not dropped a flagship into the Android Community. The specs on the phone are at the top of most lists with a 4″ IPS screen, Dual Core Nvidia Tegra, and TMO AWS bands topping 14.1 Mbps. The phone shipped with a *stock version of Android 2.2 with a promise of Gingerbread right around the corner. Months later as problems are popping up left and right… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
When I was a wee laddie, back in the 70s, a friend of mine had one of those spy cameras. Not one of the cheap ones that you get by answering an ad in the back of the latest issue of “Legion of Super Heroes” (by a much, much younger Mike Grell), but a real one that used 110 film and was made out of metal, and slid into a tiny little package that you could slip into your sleeve.
How cool is that?
Well, this isn’t quite that cool, but among USBFever’s releases this week they have a device that… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

It’s kinda interesting to me, the coincidences life sometimes tosses at you. Like this particular news piece, for example Just today, as I plowed through my Twitter feed, I followed a link to a post talking about the supposed fragmentation of the Android market, and whether that’s a bad thing, a good thing, or a neutral thing that one simply has to accept in an open platform environment. I have no opinion, not being one of Gear Diary’s resident Android folks, but it’s a fascinating discussion.
And then I started to do this news piece . . . about a new Android phone! Funny old thing, life, eh?
In any event, Alltel and LG are getting together to… Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
