At Last… Java Phone Benchmarks
Satoshi’s Wireless Weblog: User Interface is an Art: Java benchmark. Hattip to Satoshi for finding a benchmark site. Amazing to see how different performant is at “Jbenchmark”:http://jbenchmark.com. There is a 10x difference in performance. For instance the Motorola 720i is at 500 utils while the Sharp sh53 is at 1500 and the Nokia 7650 is […]

Saving vs. Spending…
a little ludwig goes a long way: Living Below Your Means. John found a great piece about living below your means. I actually learned quite a bit from the “Millionaire Next Door”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1563523302/qid=1059019860/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_3/103-8871901-9475810.

Comcast Woes and Shuttle Woes
Just spent a frustrating day trying to get my Dad’s Comcast broadband internet connection to work. Spent an hour with a very nice woman at 1-800-comcast, but the thing didn’t work at all.
