Interesting choice!
Leave a CommentWe are out in San Diego this weekend, and we spent some time last night at a bar called Malone’s in the Gaslamp district. We were at one of the tables near a wall full of books, and we happened to see this one. I thought it was an interesting choice and made me laugh…

Motorola Q battery life observation
So I have an interesting observation that I wanted to share. I recently (2 weeks ago) moved locations for my job, and am now in a location that is underneath 2 levels of building. The reception for Verizon in here is quite poor, but most calls still ring through. The thing that is interesting for me is that I have noticed my phone has been burning through batteries much quicker than before. Basically, I would have a fully charged extended battery on the device and would see it down to 1 bar by the end of 8 hours. Just for the sake of trial, I decided to see how long it really will last. Last night, I put on a new battery right before I was on the Mobility Today talkcast. 1 hour of talktime down. Then I talked to my wife for 30 minutes while she was driving home. I went to bed but did not put the phone on the charger. This morning I got up and the phone was at 3 bars. I came to work and immediately the phone went down to 2 battery bars, and then around 10am down to 1 bar. Since then, I have made 5-10 minutes of phone calls, had 20-25 emails come in and the phone is still at 1 bar.
I am happy to see that the battery survives, but the meter seems to be unreliable! Anyone else see this with thier Q?
2008 Infinity G37 Coupe
I’ve really liked the Infinity vehicles that have been out recently, and particularly like the G35. Well, looks like the G37 is going to be announced soon, and I am loving it! Check out this video of it in action
