I have this philosophy to use the hell out of everything I own, honestly what’s the point in spending money on something if you’re not going to use it/exploit it for every possible use? You can play NES games on the phone with the Nesoid app – you have to buy the app in order to save games and use the Game Genie codes in it but it is well worth it, the games run very smoothly.

In case you haven’t pulled the trigger and bought the app and found some .rom files, I’ll give you a few more details, for your keypad to play the game (and you can customize this too with the paid app) your arrow keys are 1,Q,W,A, your jump keys are O,P and your start button is Enter. If you’re playing Tetris, Game A style you can press the delete button to remove the preview of the next piece and press it again to get it back. Old School!

I have found a tethering app and use it all the time now, PDANet, you download the app for your phone at JuneFabrics.com and for the phone app go there with the browser on your phone and download it or you can search for it on the market. It works exceptionally well and 3G is fast enough for me to run several browser tabs on my laptop simultaneously. Very easy to use, and you’re already paying for the 3G data, might as well use it to the fullest right?

Daily Strip is another awesome app if you like to read a few comics for entertainment periodically, I love it. My favorite comics all in one place while I am waiting somewhere, killing time on a break or at lunch. The Boondocks, Calvin & Hobbes and Cyanide & Happiness are my absolute favorite comics, good for the smart ass soul.

A few of my other favorite apps are: , Astro, Coloroid, Devilry Huntress, Digital Clock Widget, Horoscope Widget (shut up it’s funny), iTweet, NewsRob, ProZoom Camera 5X (bad ass supplement to your camera with great filters), Taskiller, Shazam, Visual Voicemail, Wallpaper Set & Save (a must have if you hate cropping your wallpapers) and wpToGo.

ToggleApps was a must have before the Donut update, they’ve updated the app including a task manager of it’s own and provided phone memory data, removing the need for a task manager which would be awesome except it force closes or fails once you get it up and running with custom options.

There are SEGA game emulators and GBA game emulators but I haven’t used them because I don’t want to learn new games on my phone, I’m looking to play my old favorites so all I wanted was Nesoid and NES roms. Like I said before about finding .rom files, Google is your friend. We found all we needed, which incidentally you can also use on your Wii with the Homebrew channel and on your PC if you can find a PC emulator. How do I know all this? My husband is a game enthusiast.

Here are the previous posts I’ve written about the G1:

NES Games on the G1
34 G1 Wallpapers
G1 Backgrounds II

Most of these I got from G1Backgrounds.com I think one or two are pictures I took with the camera on my G1 and some I downloaded just from searching for certain backgrounds on Google.

Here are those backgrounds again, all in one place for you there are 51 attached here, so I’m sure you can find something you’ll like.

Don’t you love me?

To Democrats: Get your crap together. I swear you are all over the place. Can you guys and gals please start singing from the same hymn book? You guys are looking at the polls and you think people aren’t approving of what you are doing because they don’t want health care reform. They aren’t approving because you are being spineless wimps or are confusing the hell out of folks. Man up, and do this damn thing.

To Right-wing radio/TV/blogs: The president of the United States is entitled to a week off without your bitchin’ and moaning that he needs to be around to run the country. You guys constantly say that liberals look at him as the Messiah, but it is you who thinks the guy shouldn’t eat, sleep, or shit for the next 4 years. You know, I may have my biblical history wrong, but I think even Jesus ate and slept. You also think that he should just be able to snap his fingers and everything that is broken will be made whole. Really, let’s face the truth here. You just want to wear him down. Screw you. If your president could spend half his time playing cowboy in Crawford, my president can take a week off at the beach. And yes, I’ve heard you say it: he’s not YOUR president. Screw you. Again.

To Wal-mart: I noticed you changed the packaging on your Great Value brand, but that doesn’t give you the right to hike your prices. First of all, the packaging doesn’t bring any added value. In fact, it is less attractive and more generic than your old packaging. What is inside the packaging even seems to taste worse. I know that it is psychological, and I will overcome, because I know the reason you are doing it is to force me to spend more money on the higher priced name brand items. Ever since Sam Walton died, I’ve thought the company was taken over by soulless vampires. This confirms it.

To Corporations: I see that you are starting to report profits. Good for you. But I know it’s not because consumers are happily spending money in your establishments. It’s because you have cut your employees wages and benefits. Your workers are 20% more productive, but yet their personal incomes are falling. You get away with it because other people are losing their jobs, and people are content with just having a job. Meanwhile, your CEOs are still getting fat bonus checks and salaries. This will backfire, though. Sooner or later the economy will turn around, and the ones that toiled for you thanklessly will become the new employee for your competitor. So bask in your glory that you managed to turn a profit in a down economy, but know that your employees will remember when the getting is good. And as they walk out your door, they’ll just smile and say, “hey, it’s nothing personal, it’s the economy!”

Wow, I feel better now! Now what would you like to get off your chest?
