Otterbox For My 9700

I had an Otterbox for my BlackBerry 8900. For some reason I debated a few days before ordering the Defender today for my 9700. I ordered:
OtterBox Case for BlackBerry Bold 9700
I should have it on the 2nd and I hope I love it as much as my previous Otterbox. I just wish they had some color other than black.

I like the complete covering, the keys, the screen, everything is covered up. And it comes with a great holster that never lost the phone nor came off whatever I hooked it on.
Now, you might wonder why I need the protection. If you have ever followed me on twitter then you probably know I am a klutz. I work an office job, but I do a lot of dropping and knocking over. I have ruined at least one keyboard thanks to a spilled drink, so an Otterbox is my way of trying to keep my BlackBerry safe from me. And maybe my girls too, as my 19 month old and 4 year old are always trying to get away with my phone.

I will give it a try and then write up a review. I expect it will be just like my 8900 case, but with the holes in the right spot for my 9700.

Star Trek Online

Well, the husband finally got it downloaded and installed last night. He was up until almost 2am trying it out.
He hasn't been wowed by the game so far. It says its kind of complicated. And I was right, I wouldn't enjoy it.
Check it out here -
Star Trek Online
The game is very customizable. You have lots of things you can change and modify to make it your own. The talent trees remind him of Star Wars Galaxies back many years ago when we used to play.
He seems a little disappointed. But I convinced him to keep playing to see how it goes.
That means he probably will not be playing much World of Warcraft, so either I am going to play alone or I won't play at all. So far I haven't played much at all. It might be time for a break from WoW for me too.

New Year New Ideas

I sure have been naughty about posting over the past few months. I am going to try and be better.

First - Apple iPad???? Really?? I am no apple fan, well I don't have or use anything apple. But I found the iPad to be uninteresting. Just a bigger iPhone/iTouch. Oh well. Apple's loss.
However I am sick and tired of people trying to compare it to a Kindle. I couldn't imagine reading an entire book on an LCD screen. Plus, its kinda too big, and way more expensive than a Kindle. Not to mention Apple wants to sell books for $3-$5 more than Amazon. What is up with that?

So I am heading back to Kennedy for another NASA tweet gathering in February. It should be a great time for the launch of the SDO, a rocket, not a shuttle this time. I am sure it will still be amazing.
On the NASA note - we can afford millions and billions for a high speed rail? Does anyone really ride those in the US? But we can't afford to fund exploration of space? I wasn't even alive back when we landed on the moon the first time. I would love to have a moon landing in my lifetime. Clearly so would alot of other people, as I am hearing there is a bit of a fuss over scrapping moon plans.

On a completely different note, I updgraded my BlackBerry this week from an 8900 to a 9700. I wanted the battery life as my 8900 battery was not doing so hot. Sure I could get a new battery, but a new phone is much better. And it looks like I picked a great time. We haven't had 3G here although I have been told the hardware is around. Today myself, my husband, and one of his co-workers found ourselves attached to 3G for awhile. I would guess T-Mobile was testing it out. By the time I got home I was back to Edge, which is no big deal as I am on wifi at home.

And if anyone saw my tweets earlier, I haven't decided on Star Trek Online. My husband pre-ordered his tonight and got his early code. Its been downloading for hours. I will wait to see him play this weekend to make my final decision. I have never really been a Star Trek fan until the recent movie. I thought it was good, and have given some of the older stuff a second chance.
Of course if we both start playing Star Trek we will have to take a break from World of Warcraft.

Well, enough rambling on for one night I think.
