And the snow continues to fall... It took Vicky almost 2 hours to drive the 15mi from our house to her job in Fairfax. Glade Rd was detoured to Sunrise Valley Dr, and Rt 50 was stopped dead due to accidents. She used the 4WD on her XTerra, took it careful, but she's none-too-happy about other drivers.
Snow Returns to NoVA

Snow Returns to Northern Virginia When I left the house, it was a light dusting that coated the grass and driveways. As I drove to work, the snow got heavier and the driving got worse. By the time I got to Chantilly, I had the Jeep in 4WD.

I wonder how much snow we're going to get today? :)
"Death" of a Sidekick

Vicky's first color Sidekick worked fine right up until the day she got the recall notice from T-Mobile. Last week, her replacement Sidekick stopped backlighting when open. When fully opened, the backlight flickers out and the keyboard glows a brilliant orange.

So we called T-Mobile customer care tonight. T-Mobile transferred me to the Wireless Data Group (WDG). WDG transferred me to Tier 2. Tier 2 WDG asked me questions, had me do a hard reset, and took down the IMEI for another replacement. WOOHOO, Vicky's on her way to CSK #3.

With me on my second CSK and Vicky on her soon-to-be-third, I'm left wondering about "quality assurance." Please tell me it's getting better.
Merry Christmas from CSC

Between the Krylon Mystique backpanel and my new leather Bellagio vertical case, my T-Mobile Sidekick is STYLIN' :D

Thanks, Busfish, for this great case!

FedEx got here at 10am, on the dot!

A little sluggish, not nearly as fast as the old cam on the csk, but very crisp!

"I have a slide rule... AND I KNOW HOW TO USE IT!!" :D

My grandfather worked in Bell Labs on network switching technologies back in the 60's, and I was given the slide rule from him.

The HP-28S was *THE* calculator to have in the late-80's. It did graphical plotting and was programmable before TI and others hit the market... ("'The first consumer handheld', or does that title belong to the handheld Tandy's?")

Anyhoo... *g33k*
