To cell phone belt holster wearers:

Your belt holster is an eye sore.  It's like pants genocide – now go write a bill to halt this troubling epidemic that has infiltrated beyond the beltway.  You deserve better. Washington deserves better.  I have Hope. Change?

Unrespectfully,
It's called a purse. Or a pocket. Or your adopted Korean child.

P/s: Droid > Crack?? Well I can dream.

Cite books, what?

With the Quick Cite app, you take a picture of a book's barcode and the citation is sent to your email!  What a great idea.  It would be convient if they compiled all the citations in one file, similar to Easy Bib's format.  This would be really useful if I used hard copies of books or really even cited books. Womp Womp.  Read the article in Fast Company:
A bit of quick math shows a conservative estimate of something on the order of 11-12 hours spent just on a project of that size, while doing almost nothing else. For larger projects, of course, you'd be spending days or weeks. Indeed, one of Fast Company's trusted sources (okay, our own Kit Eaton), estimates that such an app would have saved him over two weeks on his physics dissertation.
Too many hours sitting at a desk.  The only thing I'll be citing next week is SPRING BREAK.

Blackboard Breakdown

Droooiiiddddd. I may be obsessed with my phone, but I don't use the obnoxious name-dropping ringtone.

Unfortunately, blackboard is cramping my new phone efficiency methods with its lackluster app. First, the reviews say it generally blows. Secondly, it has to be available for your school (it's not).

Boo blackboard.

Droid > Texas Instruments

I've lost multiple scientific calculators and after my last one I couldn't justify buying another calculator to lose.  For my econ final and all my lab reports, I used my cell phone.  On my old phone, I couldn't do more complex functions...but DROID conquers all!  I recently tested CalcBuddy, Kreac Calculator and RealCalc.  Kreac Calculator is my favorite because it has the simplest design and I can easily enter exponents.  One less thing to carry around, one less thing to lose and one less thing to buy (again!).
