The Android operating system seems to be fully functional. My new math based alarm clock has proven exceptionally reliable. You actually have to be awake to solve mathematical equations. I am very satisfied with my recent $2 purchase from the Android market. Blogging from my new HTC EVO requires a degree of patience. I type much faster on a full keyboard than a touch screen. Even the basic Android talk to text function limits productivity. The Android operating system barely supports rudimentary document processing beyond simple viewing.

Ok so this is a note built on AK Notepad. How hard would it be to write prose on an Android device? The keyboard takes some practice to master. The spell checker seems to improve over time. With no built in grammarian functions the editor provides very limited document editing.

When will sprint get a new Blackberry?

A weblog rule violation almost occurred today. A major post about the phone that cannot be named is resting in weblog draft status. Weblog postings seem to require more and more energy to complete. Over the last few months the Twitter update utility has been providing updates. A recent change in Twitter policy has changed the entire weblog archive policy. All future weblog updates will involve a series of keystrokes instead of automated processes.

Why would finding a great Lasagna recipe be difficult?
What is better a digital archive or a recipe box?

Being able to relax might be the best part of having Friday off from work. The biggest adventure today will probably involve cleaning the Ford Explorer. Somehow or someway the Explorer gets exceptionally dirty.

Update: The explorer is now clean.

What are the best android applications?

This is a test of the new live blog posting system.

At @BESTBUY looking over the @EASPORTS college football 2011 the price on the shelf was simply to high (49.99 maybe 59.99 unlikely). #
When will @andyphelan45 finally locate some barbequed burnt ends in Chicago? Maybe @dangerpigs will save the day… #
Did you say Red Bull? Tonight will involve a combination of Broncos football, Red Bull, and the best music Oingo Boingo has to offer. #
Just plugged in the 2nd monitor to queue up Aliens on Netflix for my laptop, eat some chips, finish a Red Bull and maybe blog for a bit… #

The weekend is for writing like the work week is for working…

Time seems to changes things in ways that become predictable.

Maybe now would be the time for a change or at least a productivity increase.

Most of yesterday was spent working on converting a complete quantitative dissertation into journal articles. At this point in the process the results are either going to be broken into three distinct articles or one very complete article. Naturally, the right thing to do would involve building one meaningful article instead of splitting the results into a series of articles. The process needs to be completed before the results become stale and outdated.

At some level the research process remains paramount.

Reporting the results of the research process defines the difference between personal inquiry and academic endeavors.
