SprintPCS: They rock and suck simultaneously, and I use them. Their account management server is down (again), but they have apparently launched some pseudo-3G goodness called vision. I’d hop on, early adopter that I am, except I hadn’t recently overpaid for a Sanyo SCP 6200. Knowing Sprint, it’ll be a great service that will be great when it works, but will be the bane of your existance when it is broken.

Thinblog: Phillip Pearson (of ecosystem fame) doesn’t like to sleep. He really likes the thinlet gui toolkit (which looks sweet), and thought he’d release more cool stuff upon the world. Thinblog is a blogger client that weighs in as an 86k jar file. Three cheers for tight code!

Wow! Dave points out some new functionality for Radio and Frontier:
Heads-up, some time in the next 24 hours we’re going to release tcp.im, which allows Radio and Frontier to be an instant messaging client or server (either can be either).

Yep. I’m in San Louis Obisbo, or somewhere pretty near it. LA was fun, now I’m a little further up the coast. I’ll be making a trip to Fry’s, the geek Mecca, sometime before I leave.
