I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, my G1 is awesome, other phones have come out since this one, like the G2 and the MyTouch and others, but I’ve loved this phone since I first got it and don’t see any real need to upgrade, this phone is perfect.

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?

Sorry I missed you guys yesterday, my mojo was NOT working at all for me yesterday. I knew that it would show and since I didn’t have anything nice to say…well I decided to write it down and post it today. LOL!

So today, potentially we have a new segment, maybe not every Tuesday it’ll go up, but when I get particularly irritated…I’ll do a Talkin’ Shit Tuesday. Even though I’m ALWAYS talkin’ shit. The idea behind this is to explore an avenue where we run our mouths about what pisses us off.

Like me being pissed off about having to hear about celebrities on the evening news. That pisses me off because I don’t care about them, they don’t affect my day to day life. So HELLO! I don’t want to hear about it every day! It’s bullshit that after I hear about the stock market I have to hear “entertainment news“, how about something really entertaining during entertainment news, like dumb criminals for instance, that’s entertainment and you know there is plenty to pick from, you know this.

Or the irritation I have of eighteen wheeler trucks driving in the fast lane. That is wrong on so many levels that I just can’t believe more hasn’t been done about it. First, it has no business in the fast lane, it burns more gas than the time it saves. Second, it’s too easy to misjudge where a car is and if the truck is speeding, of course it’s lights out for the car driver. Third, they’re too damn slow for the fast lane and I get so irritated when I see the bastards holding me up. Ahem, MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY!

Two highways near and dear to this old area of mine don’t allow trucks in the left lane. THANK YOU TEXAS! Can we now echo this throughout all major highways in the nation please?

Let me tell you what else irks me, all these goofy little tv shows teaching my son how to be a smart ass. Yeah, um Drake and Josh I got a bone to pick with y’all, Zack and Cody, you too, we remember you’re little behind from Big Daddy. We know you can wipe your own asses but that’s not cute anymore. Stop it with the sarcasm.

Maybe I’ll just make him stop watching the little twerps, but I know eventually he’ll get that from me. I’m sarcastic. You didn’t know? Oh yeah. All the time. So realistically, he could be getting it from me and I’d just like to point the finger. Maybe….not.

Another thing that pisses me off of late, is all the bullshit talk about our future president. The first black president of the United States of America. I’m proud of this country. VERY PROUD. The fact that we saw through the skin color and elected a WORTHY president to our nation, one that wouldn’t be more of the same. We took a leap and have landed on someone who I hope like Teddy Roosevelt did all those years ago and lead us into a better day for this nation.

I heard someone say that they thought Obama could be the AntiChrist. I had to stifle a laugh. Really? That person let her fear of change make her look and sound like a radical. She was serious. I don’t begrudge people their points of view and opinions and I’m certainly not going to judge that person for that view, or the other racist things that she said. But I will say my eyes were opened and I was surprised with that conversation, shocked that it would come to that, that she would utter those words.

Ultimately, I am proud of where our country has been, and where it is going. But I must say, as long as there is racism, we won’t get very far. It pisses me off that people I actually know could be so, shortsighted. Beyond that I am without words. It has been said far better than here what racism will do to this country if it continues, or gets worse and I can say at least for myself, that in my opinion no matter what our color of skin, beneath the skin, we’re all the same. Period.

So tell me, what pisses you off? What would you like to talk shit about today?
