Cam Phones and EXIF

I’ve been looking for sample pictures taken with the phone I want, the Sanyo 8100. I found a few here. I downloaded them and looked for EXIF tags: nothing. More silliness. There is a radio clock and and GPSone (a tech to get gps coordinates from radio towers). Why isn’t this stuff embedded in the image?

Sprint PCS update

I tried sending them more email thru their “email” form and realized I wasn’t getting any confirmation page when I submitted the email. My guess is some silly javascript thing is not working on mozilla and messing things up. Tried it on my wife’s w32-98 box with IE and lo and behold, I got a confirmation screen and tracking #. Sent them 2 emails about that and my real questions. Why are they so stupid?

Time's up....

Sprint PCS promised to get back to my email in 24 hours. 25 hours later, no email.

Setting the Record Straight

was reluctant was that Bill Clinton had tried to beat me up[…]

Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me. You grabbed his arm and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, “He only does that to people he loves.”

Charming people.

Iraqi Boy Band Hopes Saddam's Fall Spells Stardom

Iraqi Boy Band Hopes Saddam’s Fall Spells Stardom

“If you ask a pop band how long they are rehearsing each day, it’s eight hours or 10 hours. We didn’t have the time, just two or three hours. We didn’t know if we were doing it right. We had no training. We just listened to CDs we liked and tried to create songs. It was very difficult for us.”

Garabedian says that despite the difficulties, if the band is given a chance it will prove it can reach the top.

“As an Iraqi band who suffered all these years under the embargo and the sanctions and the regime, if we just reach the lowest position in the UK charts our dream would come true,” he said. “Once we get there, with more help from big record companies, we could get to number one. I’m sure of that.”

I want an Iraqi Metal Band.
