Finally At MAX

In what seems to be an annual ritual, my flight to Las Vegas was delayed and delayed and then delayed again. And then when we landed we were delayed and delayed waiting for a gate. But I am here, finally. Now where are folks hanging out?

Nokia E62 24 Hours Review

Yes, I did it. I promised myself I wouldn't, I don't need the distraction now with MAX days away. But I could not help myself. I'm a gadget junkie, and I needed that Nokia E62 I mentioned yesterday .
