Random

I just realized that I have only written 5 post for the year and it's OCTOBER!!!!

A busted laptop screen can surely make a person who doesn't really blog that much to begin with, Not blog at all!!!!!


And we are BACK!!!!!!!


O! M! G! My seeing eye is back... that's right! I fixed my laptop screen finally!!! I'm am sooo happy about it! Here is some before shots:

This was back in 2010... the crack had been there for almost a year. It happened in December of 2009.  By now I was like okay I can deal. 







So the screen just got worst.  to the point I couldn't see anywhere well on the screen at all.  So I sent out for a new screen finally... (btw, I was going to send it to this apple repair shop I found in Manhattan.  They were gonna charge me 350 for a new screen. This included parts and labor. )  I opted out of doing that and found great place to get my screen thanks to my Eagle Brother Derek LaBoo!!!!  So I bought the screen thinking it was the right one... It was for a mac but wrong style.... below is my laptop in pieces before I realized.... WRONG SCREEN. 




 So I put it back to together and now the little bit of screen I was getting was completely GONE!!!!  PITCH BLACK!!!!  So now the only way to use my laptop was through my tv!! ANNOYING to say the least.  Well I sent back the incorrect screen to get the correct one and they sent back the SAME screen again!!! PISSED!!!

After a few words with them (not that many really because they realized their mistake) I sent back the wrong screen, they sent me the RIGHT one.. and I got to work...

I am so proud to say, I can SEE MY SCREEN!!!!  LOOK!!!


What a job!!!  and I  only spent $133 and about 10 hours TOTAL from both times having to take it apart and put it back together again!   Well I am done!!!  I can see... I can get stuff done! I'm HAPPY!!!!  

Next time I will speak on my decision about my PHONE!!!!  :)

PHONE FRENZY!

So if you don't know, I am gadget, technological GEEK!!!!

I know how to hook up just about any TV, to any stereo, to a computer (which I am using now), to a phone, to a printer, to a... well you get the point. People tell other people they know to call me because I know how to do it.

Working at Radio Shack provides an outlet to the this side of my heart for technology.

Well the other day, I found out because I work there, how much I could save each month by switching to Sprint.

Disclaimer: I have never been, nor will I ever be tied to life to one cell phone provider. It is POINTLESS. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.  The only thing I care about is who can provide me with what I need for the price I'm willing to pay. T-mobile was winning until they left Radio Shack. Now Sprint is crushing the game.

I have the new Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch... 
that is just too much for one phone.   I have not turned it on yet because I'm waiting for my number to port over. HOWEVER, it's a sick phone. I know this already. I'm going to LOVE THE SCREEN. I'm all about visuals so that is a plus.

NOW, the iPhone 5 is reportedly coming out this month, rumored Oct. 14. If it does... I will return this phone and get the iPhone 5. I really want it. BUT only if I can afford it. I don't mind waiting cause I know this Galaxy S2 is about to be great to my life.

This is gonna be a tough one!!!

I previously would have NEVER gotten an iPhone but with the recent changes to it's operating system and better functionality overall... I'm DOWN!!! I love my iPod touch and at times, I wish it was my phone. I almost got the 4 but the 5 is on it's way.

WELL FOLKS... I'm not sure how this will end. I tend to change my phone very often. I try to keep up with the times and myself!!! LOL  I would have all kinds of phones just to play with them and change them like I change my clothes. With AT&T and T-mobile, very easy... SIM cards are the best.
BUT... Sprint got it going on for my pocket. So CDMA it is!!!!

Until next time...what do you use to dial????
