Thinking: i LOVE my phone!

My Nexus One has been my all-encompassing tool during this entire trip!  It was more accurate as a navi than my TomTom, taken photos & video of my vacation excursions, been my method of communication (talked on phone, made reservations, texted friends, sent work email, facebook posts, twitter, etc), shopped via amazon, been my music player (mix-zing), played games, etc.  Been a great companion & keeps my a.d.d. from running rampant. Lol- all of these apps were running at the same time!  Ah, multitasking - so wonderful.  Gotta love the android os. :)

Listening to...

I must admit: I'm a HUGE fan of satellite radio. You never have to switch stations on a long road trip any more.  I'm in my early 30s and I can remember a time when I constantly had to change radio stations on road trips due to loss of signal or a different area had different stations.  Constant knob turning, searching- wow, was it ever frustrating.  That's when the 120 minute mix-tapes came in handy.  Remember those?  Lol.  Well, I have a somewhat eclectic mix of music preference.  So here's a couple of stations that I've been listening to during this trip:

The rental VW from AVIS has Sirius so...

80s on 8 (008) - nuff said.  Awesome 80s music

90s on 9 (009) - great era of music.  Good mix of grunge, rock, pop, hiphop, dance, etc

Pop2K (039) - golden age of hiphop music.  DeLa, Tribe, busta, public enemy, biggie, etc.

And of course, NFL radio (124)

Thinking: nighttime in the pacific northwest

Okay, it's now 9pm.  I'm on the road driving south on I5 coming from a great hangout time w/friends in the Seattle area.  Going to my temporary "home" near Mt. Hood.  Wanna see what 9pm looks like in the Pacific Northwest?  (Looks more like 5pm in LA)
