Speak to Me, Blue Ant!

It's no lie that technology and I have a love/hate relationship; today only further pushed that relationship further to the hate side of it.

Now, I love my phone, I really do. I love it so much, that I think everyone should have a Windows phone. But I have finally found a problem and the solution is too annoying. When I got the phone, I had to set up a Windows account because I didn't have one. Well, now I have one that I use. Now, this is a flaw to the Windows phone: you can only have one Windows account and the only way to change my old windows account to my new one is to reset the phone to how it was when I bought it. That means no contacts, no apps, nothing. I would have to go and re-add everything and I'm just not sure it's worth it.

My next problem of the day: a range extender. For those of you who don't know what that is, it strengthens the signal of a router so Internet is more accessible everywhere. My room in Red Oak does not have very strong signal, so my dad went and bought one. We had issues from the beginning. It wouldn't connect to the router, it wouldn't connect to the computer, and then finally, we got it. I left my laptop alone for a few hours and when I get back, I have no internet connection. When I attempt to connect to it, it won't let me. My dad said to turn my computer off and back on. After doing this, it doesn't even list the Extender as something to connect to, it completely disappeared. Needless to say, we're going to have to call for some help tomorrow.

Now, of course technology isn't fully against me. I got this amazing Blue Tooth thing called Blue Ant. You don't have to wear it on your ear, it attaches to your visor magnetically or you can just lay it on a table. It works the exact way Blue Tooth does, only instead of using your phone to call and just talking through the head piece, all you simply do is say "Speak to me, Blue Ant" and it says "Say a command" and you go from there. Now, I'm not going to lie, I feel a little like a secret agent talking to another secret agent called Blue Ant. And I feel a little powerful, telling it what to do. It can call from my address book, redial the last person I called, call back the last person who called me, I can check the weather, the traffic, movie times. This thing is AMAZING! Yes, this is an example of good technology.

On a side note, I believe the new TLC show "House vs. Spouse" is going to ruin a lot of marriages.
