- 11:38 1st run Cath lab transfer. What purpose does a diagnostic lab if you can't fix the problem?
- 11:40 I don't understand the kindle craze. I like books
- 13:11 Still waiting for a bed a the hospital. Been here for almost an hour
- 15:19 Another ALS run down. Demand pacemaker running @ 123. Not good.

- 23:32 Med run. Sure wish LMEMS would let us run ALS engines. Kentucky really is 20 years behind the curve in emergency servces. Fire, Ems, police
- 23:34 Example: Now they boast about transmitting ekg to hospital. Didn't Johnny & Roy do that in the 70's? Rampart, sending EKG now!
- 04:42 EMS is messing with my sleep. Woke up@ 23:00 for a run; just got back from ride to hosp w/ possible cva. Only 3 hrs sleep so far
- 07:37 Home at last. Let dogs out; feed dogs then back to sleep. @photomonkey was right, fire gods not kind last night
- 16:12 Heading out to run some errands. Someone tell the migit in my head banging the gong to cut it out ok?

- 09:24 Really, general public, if you are not willing to stop and offer assistance then don't call 911 while passing an old MVC by.
- 09:24 Cell phones are the bain of the 911 services. People think everything requires calling in, while they drive past at 90MPH.

- 09:03 "I met a girl who sang the blues, I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled and turned away"
- 09:08 I need to head out and get some hands on with the new phones. Must say that the Iphone is enticing
- 09:27 @michellej Seems like veryone is writting apps for Iphone and not for Windows mobile
- 09:38 @michellej The entire staff of OCEMS have iphones, they are addicted. I think Iphone addiction is incurable.
- 09:47 @lbrenner They use little butterfly needles for that. I've got 14 ga IV's in my bag they look like stirring straws.
- 09:48 I am really going to leave, but Pandora Radio is playing songs I haven't heard in a long time. Don't want to turn it off :(
- 09:51 @GrantGresham They best they have is the Blackberry storm.
- 09:58 @ConstantineXVI I know, they will cater to what is popular, but even Microsoft is behind in their WinMo updates. Deepfish was canceled
- 10:02 @ConstantineXVI You're right. They can't get a decent UI, and they are always behind the curve. Lots of 3rd party apps though
- 10:33 @michellej You need to see this. It is about anhour long, but GREAT for presentations. pktinyurl.com/bok66y
- 10:33 @michellej I try to make all my classes more interesting, and less Death by power point.

- 10:39 @michellej I do most of my teaching in the narrative style. I use the slides as simple examples. I despise bullet points.
- 10:40 I'm headed out, to test drive a few phone/PDA (and an Iphone of course). Can't tweet cause mine is broken :(
- 10:43 @joschmoblo www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ2vtQCES show them this
- 11:04 Testing an iphone. hard to type
- 11:14 moved to fuze. looks nice, still winmo laggy though.

- 11:37 Looks like iPhone is best 4 me
- 11:56 tinyurl.com/ywxsr7 Presentation Zen @joschmoblo @michellej
- 11:58 @joschmoblo w/o touchflo it would be same old lame WM6.1 interface. I wouldn't upgrade for that
- 11:59 Blackbery curve, does not easily connect to MS exchange server. Can't get work email with curve
- 12:01 @joschmoblo No problem. Getting used to typing will be toughest I think. But motor memory will kick in i hope
- 12:05 @ConstantineXVI We had a few people at Firehouse that traded their BB in for something WinMo based.
- 12:07 @ConstantineXVI Maybe it was Small business server that didn't integrate well. THey all called BB support with no resolution
- 12:55 @bdunckel Really? Our windchill now is 7. Tonights temp is 9. Wanna move north to Kentucky?
- 13:00 Listening to SOA with LYO. Hope they play something good
- 13:02 @OutlanderUSA looking for replacement phone. Not much fun seeing the prices.
- 13:24 @OutlanderUSA Yes, I have a tilt that is now broken (due to a fall yesterday) tinyurl.com/atox6v
- 13:24 O, I feel kind of lost without my PDA phone. I have no idea whats going on. Keep having to check desktop for info.
- 13:32 I would seriously consider a HTC touch pro (fuze) if I didn't have to pay the full $499 for it. Phone company scam, I tell you
- 13:51 @heyitsmare It's even worse there. They are hocking 'unlocked' phones and charge $200 more than MSRP
- 13:52 @heyitsmare No problem. I'm always looking for new ideas. The wife surely doesn't want to drop $500 for a new phone for me.
- 13:58 Not too bad. Not much surface bruising, but Left ankle/foot hurts today.
- 14:01 @heyitsmare thanks me too.
- 15:41 @joschmoblo Still thinking it over. Leaning towards Iphone 8gb for $399
- 15:42 @Squirrel325 Nope, I posted one last week, hey wait...now my phone is broken? Coincidence?
- 15:46 Tried an old phone I had laying around. It's broken too, no wonder I upgraded. I didn't break the old one.
- 16:27 @joschmoblo Looks like I'm going to buy Iphone tonight before Actors Theater show. WooHoo!
- 16:45 RT @funambulator: cursebird.com/dancanon Swaers like a Gangsta Rapper
- 16:46 @dancanon I don't believe @funambulator is that innocent. No one is.
- 23:07 I have now become one of the sheep. I bought the iphone. Time to play :)
- 23:37 @joschmoblo Why is the drama always surrounding you?

- 09:06 Awesome, snow. Almost a white out!. Roads getting slick. Busy day ahead at firehouse.
- 10:14 The bad new...I fell on the ice. So far I'm ok but my Att tilt didn't make it. Screen is broken. :(
- 10:44 Anyone have any ideas for PDA phones? I'm looking for a new one.
- 10:57 Hey Iphone users, is the iphone the way to go? I can get referbed Iphone for less than new HTC device.
- 11:15 Really? I thought there were more Iphone users out there. No responses.
- 11:49 Anyone hear anything good about the Fuze?
- 12:06 Damn $600 for HTC Fuze (Touch Pro)
- 12:19 Damn. I might just go back to plain phone, no PDA. Stupid technology.
- 14:44 is youtube not working? or is it our network at the station?
- 15:31 Even the cheapest phone on ATT website I could buy is $159.00. really?
- 15:36 a little. Any good deals?
- 15:46 Still looking for ~ $199 unless you want a broken one. Then I can get one for $78
- 15:51 That was for a used HTC Tytn II.
- 15:51 I generally don't like buying electronics on Ebay. I want to feel the device in my hands prior to purchasing.
- 16:06 I'm suffering from Withdrawal from my device.
- 16:22 Actually, I think the Fuze would be nice. I have a bunch of WinMo programs that I like and would continue to use.
- 16:47 Some people on ebay want $250 for used Tilt. Might as well get 16gb Iphone refurb for $299.
- 18:01 Left hip hurts. Stupid laws of physics.
- 18:42 Ebay only has phones that are 'unlocked' so they charge a ton more $$$ than the phone is worth.
- 20:30 Ok, after looking at the compitition I think it's a Windows Mobile phone or Iphone. Samsung Eternity looks cool, but not enough for me.
