Hooooray. My phone now receives full-sized picture messages again. Only took me two and a half months (and no help at all from T-Mobile) to figure it out and get it fixed.
Now, all y'all need to MMS or email me photos of you to update my contacts list again. MMS directly to me or Email [...]

Twitter is like a blog post, but smaller and faster. Twitter is like an IM status message, even when you're away from IM. Twitter is like sending a text message to all of your friends without even trying.
I'm actually kind of shocked that none of my 115 LiveJournal friends, 52 Facebook friends, 250+ regular [...]

I absolutely LOVE the new VFXY Photos interface. It's as good, if not better, than Flickr's interface, yet allows photographers to host their photographs from their own sites using their own software. It's easy to browse new and interesting images, and bookmark your favorites so you can find them again later. It also makes it [...]

To make a long story short, I deleted nearly all of my MSN contacts on accident. Actually, it was only partly my fault. But anyway. Chances are, I deleted you. So, of you want to be on my list, or if you want me on your list, add me back. My MSN username is jim@revjim.net.
Also, [...]

A short collection of news in the world of Daniel. Hopefully, each of these paragraphs is short enough to keep your attention.

I'm slowly removing the LJ friends that don't comment, don't email, don't IM, don't write anything I'm interested in, and don't see me at least every couple of months in person. It's not a [...]

There are a lot of web based tools that I use on a day to day basis. Some of them are small, silly, time savers. Others allow communication and collaboration in ways that were never before possible. Here are a few of those tools. If you find this information useful, let me know and I'll [...]

So I've got a "new mobile phone":http://revjim.net/2006/09/26/in-record-time/ and it does this really cool thing where it includes a picture of you every time you call, send me an text message, a picture message, or an email. Unfortunately, the only person I have a picture of in my phone, is Jess.
Sooo… *send me a picture of [...]

LiveJournal has added "Sponsored Communities":http://community.livejournal.com/lj_biz/237534.html, and "some people aren't happy about it":http://insomnia.livejournal.com/706986.html. So let's get this straight…
*Some* communities, created by advertisers in the first place, will now be *Sponsored*. By being Sponsored, the usericon for the community will be something different making it easy to detect, there will be advertisements on the page for the [...]

Having an MP3 player — even if only for a week now — has made a huge impact on my life. Music used to play a very large role in my life. I was one of those guys with a thick book of CDs in the car, the best stereo I could afford in my [...]

Unhappy with the "cup holder FM transmitter":http://revjim.net/2006/09/26/in-record-time/ I picked up a few days ago, I've been on the hunt for a better solution ever since. I'm about to give up, though.
The problem with the cupholder transmitter is that it holds the iPod too low to see and operate and, once you pull it out of [...]
