Reasons for new Blog Layout

Aug 26, 2011 by Paul White

When I built my blog over 6 years ago, I was just looking for a way to share my thoughts as well as maybe make a little money with google adsense.  At first I was posting to my blog daily.  Of course Adsense in the beginning doesn't pay crap.  Maybe 20 cents / day.  So after a while my motivations to post daily started to run dry.  I didn't take the blog too serious until one of my articles went viral.  When you write an article that catches on and spreads rapidly through the internet, you start to think about how things on the blog could be better.  After all when 5000 people all hit your blog in one day, you start to wonder if that little optimization you have been putting off would have maybe resulted in a few extra clicks.

Who picks up stray dogs in Pearland Texas

Jul 27, 2011 by Paul White

This is a question I recently had.  There was a black dog in our neighborhood that had been roaming around for a week.  Our neighbors dog had just died from heat stroke, so I made the mistake of trying to help this stray dog out, and put some food and water out for him.  I guess this won him over because since then, he decided to take up residence in front of my house and my neighbors.  I thought that maybe his owner would come looking for him, but I never saw anyone come looking for him.  So I can to find the right officials to come pick him up.

When I used to have a an HTC HD2 one of the things I did was polish my battery cover.  As you can imagine the full aluminum frame of the HTC Sensation 4G was one of the major reasons I got this phone.  Finally I set aside a few hours to polish my Sensation 4G's frame.  The results were stunning.  I figured others may also want to do this.  So I have written a tutorial on how to polish the frame of your HTC Sensation 4G.

Jul 22, 2011 by Paul White

If you have a smart phone they you likely also have an microSDHC card for storage of your photos, videos, and Apps.  However all microSDHC cards are not created equal.  In this blog I will run some benchmarks on a few cards I had laying around.  I will test a Sandisk 16GB class 2 microSDHC, a Samsung 8GB class 6 microSDHC, and a Lexar 32GB class 10 microSDHC memory card. Hopefully people can use this data to help them make informed decisions on what card they want to buy.

Upgrading to an HTC Sensation 4G

Jun 26, 2011 by Paul White

My Current Cell Phone is an HTC HD2 that I ported to Android 2.3.  There hasn't been much reason to upgrade, as most phones had the same screen size, or the same resolution.  Finally the HTC Sensation has arrived.  In my opinion its the logical upgrade from my HD2.  Same 4.3" LCD, higher Resolution, and 8 MP camera with 1080P video recording, along with 1.2 Ghz Dual Core snap dragon CPU.
