New Starbucks Gold Card
Still get 2 continuous hours of free wi-fi daily. I did use the offer the other day and worked great.
Says free refills on brewed coffee and tea. I wonder if ice coffee is considered brewed?
We will see how this plays out. I was saving forty cents to one dollar with the old card per purchase. Don't see how this new program will benefit me but time will tell.

Google Voice Quick Reference Cheatsheet Speeds Through Voice Menus
Google Voice Quick Reference Cheatsheet Speeds Through Voice Menus: "
Google Voice's great feature set takes your phone and voicemail out of the past, but that doesn't mean you won't still have to navigate the occasional touch-tone menu. Weblog Cool Geex comes to the rescue with a pocket-friendly quick reference guide.
There's not all that much to it beyond that. Their reference guide is handy, it's printable, and it gives you a simple way to quickly navigate Google Voice's calling and voicemail menus. We're sold.
Head to the Cool Geex post for a higher resolution version.

Pandora or Slacker?
Pandora really finds songs that suit your fancy. We have a stationed called Air Supply. Every time we play this station I feel like I am back in Jr High at the dances (trying to cop a feel :). Rupert is another feel good station you must try. You can share stations which is fun. I asked a Navy friend for a rock station and she sent me a link to a station called Nickleback. Rock on!
Still getting use to Slacker. I really enjoy the Comedy (explicit) channel. Makes me LMAO! I have not found that gotcha channel like in Pandora. Still work on the ends and outs of Slacker.
Bottom line I say why chose? I say use both of them and enjoy listen to whatever and whenever you want.
The only downer to both is you have to have data coverage. Not satellite but the price is right, FREE!

BlackBerry Storm OS .230 Upgrade
Decided to upgrade to the latest BlackBerry Storm OS. It's a full version instead of a hybrid. Overall I like it but do find something interesting. I will update this post with more details later.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
***UPDATE***
Overall I like the .230 full version. I did wipe BlackBerry Storm first before installing .230 full. Here are my findings so far.
Good:
Bad:
Indifferent:
Bugs:
I think this is a good start and hope it helps.
Good:
- Google Sync works after searching the forums for the link to download.
- Quick Launch works
- Viigo works
- Facebook is working for me
- I like the threaded messages
- 3G icon is cool.
- In the past I showed 2 bars in my house now I show 4 bars.
- Backgammon works
- Slacker works
- Pandora works (still testing had some lockups I think is profile related)
- Evernote works
- Google Map is working
- Google Voice works
- StormSlider is working
- Ubertwitter works
Bad:
- Meterberry does not work for me even with all the tricks of the trade.
Indifferent:
- When I receive an SMS the icon is the BB Messenger icon.
- When I click on Media it is a folder now and takes me to media related icons instead of the old way.
- I have a Files icon I did not notice before.
- I do not have city ID.
- I do not see a huge difference in the browser.
Bugs:
- Strange thing when I go to landscape mode the BB dims. I have set my screen to 100% with no auto dim and still landscape dims.
- SMS messages never fully showed read. They stay BOLD even after opening and reading.
- I get some random lockups that I think are 3rd party app related.
I think this is a good start and hope it helps.

Beautiful Start
Laid in bed long enough to check my emails and read my RSS feeds with viigo on my BlackBerry Storm. Got up dressed and checked the fluids in Sally ('97 Camaro) and then ride Sally ride. Yes the song from Sammy Hagar is where my car got her name.
Only thing on the agenda today is grocery shopping. This is why Starbucks is a beautiful start. Have a good one!

12 Year Anniversary
Sunday was Tammy and I 12 year anniversary. At the last minute we decided to drive over to Trinadad, CA. The above photo's was taken through my BlackBerry Storm while we were walking on the beach. Yes that is Tammy taking a picture of me with her BlackBerry Storm while I took a picture of her with mine.
It was in the 50's while over there and a marine layer was coming in. Far cry from the 112 degrees back home.

Sunday mornings
Yep, spending my Sunday with my second love and my obsession. Sitting outside Starbucks on Bonneview in Redding, CA sipping an iced coffee with sugar free carmel and breve. Reading my RSS feeds through Viigo on my BlackBerry Storm.
Now waiting for my brother who was on the road to see me from Corning. Now were talking Camaro, coffee, brother and a BlackBerry Storm. Have a good Sunday.

13 Must Have Blackberry Storm Apps
I have switched to a Blackberry Storm with Verizon. I have used BlackBerry devices for years. The Blackberry Storm takes a lot of getting use to but is a powerhouse for business and pleasure needs. I have a lot of applications on mine and constantly adding and deleting new ones daily. I have updated the OS to BBCrackman v5.1-141 a hacked version which has helped tremendously.Here are the 13 apps I use daily on my Blackberry Storm.
- Viigo - Instant access to breaking news, entertainment, sports, finance, weather, flight schedules, restaurant reviews, games, local attractions, and more. Make navigating your day effortless with Viigo.
- Facebook - Hooked on Facebook®? Now you can take Facebook with you on your BlackBerry® smartphone wherever you go and stay logged in as long as you want. Download this free application today and take connecting with your friends to a whole new level.

As you can see by these 13 BlackBerry Storm applications there is a diversity of work, fun, and plain interesting applications available. I recommend all new BlackBerry Storm users bookmark the following websites/forums.
CrackBerry.com is for users and abusers of BlackBerry devices.
BlackBerryOS.com for all things BlackBerry and specializing in all things BlackBerry OS.
I found this post pretty accurate to my life A day in the life of a BlackBerry Storm power user. In closing do not listen to the ones that say the BlackBerry Storm is a terrible device. I am here to tell you that if you like technology and being connected then the BlackBerry Storm is for you.
