The Sad State of Mobile Phones

The current crop of phones are depressingly lame. I am currently using a Samsung t519. It has served me well for pretty close to two years now.

As you might have guessed, there are lots of interesting events happening in the Denver-Boulder area but finding out about them is sometimes a little difficult.
