Last night, a few of us went to watch Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman performed at SJSU Event Center. The concert was amazing. I have been looking forward to this concert since a month back and had tickets for just as long. So when Sunday night came along, I was pretty excited for the concert. As it turned out, Sunday was also a pretty long day starting with teaching KidZone at church, then the service, moving onto set breakdown, then going to Barnes & Noble to get Freakonomics (thnx Alison for the Teacher's discount), drove back home to meet friends to carpool to the concert, grabbed dinner at La Vic in San Jose, then onto the concert, drove the carpoolers home, read emails, and went to bed.

Despite the long long day, last night was really worth it. It was awesome worshipping God in such a large environment, singing with Chris Tomlin/Matt Redman, and hearing Louis Giglio speak. How beautiful is our God!

This is the best thing...EVER.

It's priced at $499-$599 and is available through Cingular, which means the iPhone may not be for you if you are making indoor calls. But who cares when you can get the NYTimes like this.

Is that Jonathan Ive, famed Apple designer's actual cell/work phone? (I tried calling the work one and got a voicemail of Apple, the second one was a general voicemail. Haha. Umm ahem: Please do not try this at home kids.)

Until my current Verizon phone runs out, I'll continue to pull along this bag of bricks, "my fivers": 20 gig iPod (non video), 5 gig iPod Nano, Palm V, LG vx8300, Dell Inspiron m600 laptop, Canon SD630 camera optional.

Psst...really, these all-in-one devices are highly overrated anyhow.

Show of hands who's buying one?

I got my first extensive Mobile web experience today, during what normally would be a very long and tedious weekly Monday status meeting.

Oh the power of the Mobile internet. I don't think I'll mind these Monday meetings anymore.

New Year's resolutions list, that is. Mine involves exercising more. I know, boring. But a couple of 4 day weekends—I'm already missing those "it's like Friday, but Wednesday" work mode—revolving around food = surplus weight.

Beyond making this list, I switched my mobile service providers and got a new phone (my Christmas present.) The old provider Cingular didn't make the cut, giving me one bar consistently when I'm at home, as well as many other places (see: driving on the 101). I decided to go with Verizon and the clamshell LG VX8300 phone. So far so good.

My new phone lets me listen to music, takes great photos, is Bluetooth enabled—I got one of those sci-fi looking Bluetooth headsets, too—gets email and ESPN scores. Everything you ever needed to survive in the "real" world. The user interface feels pretty intuitive, although I still need to muck around with it a bit more. Best feature of this new phone? Saving on some serious money—20% off my monthly bill—thanks to a corporate discount.

Back to the list. How's your resolutions list coming? If it has more than just exercising, congratulations you are already more diligent than me. Care to share?

New Year's was watching a Friends marathon, playing True colors, and drinking almond flavored champagne at Sandy's. It was great!

Happy New Year!
