Nokia 2600c and Frys
I’m thinking about growing a beard. I want to let my hair grow out too. There isn’t a specific type of style that I’m going for. Just big. The lady who was the receptionist last week said, “You got a lot of hair.” She is so fine. I told her I had a lot more when I was younger. Not sure why I said that. So speaking of things when I was younger. A few years ago I was younger and I had a better ph0ne. But I thought I had traveled back in time so I dropped it intentionally in a government building hoping that someone from the past would find it and there would be subsequent advances in modern technology due to the reverse engineering of the Blackberry. I guess it worked too, because when I asked the guy at the front desk if they had a lost and found. He said that their lost and found, “Did not exist.” Whatever that means. It’s probably in Area 52 by now…part of some giant cybernetic computer’s brain. So yeah, now I’m stuck with a Nokia 2600c-2b phone. It is no way near as cool as my old Blackberry. But it works pretty well. The thing is I misplaced the data cable or USB cord for it so now I can’t take the pictures off my phone.
So I went to the AT&T store and I asked the dude what kind of cord I needed he said that the he didn’t have the cord. Then I asked what kind of cord I needed, this was because he didn’t actually answer my question. He then said that he didn’t know. He then told me to go to Radio Shack. Then I asked him what kind of phone my phone was and he said he didn’t know. He said my phone was discontinued. That was depressing so I decided to leave.
I then went to Device Repair and the owner told me that the kind of cord I needed was a custom USB cord and that I’d have trouble finding it. So took my latte and headed over to Frys because Frys usually has everything.
At Frys there were these, “CARE” ambulance guys there and they were playing the new Playstation 3 camera game thing. This camera tracked the movements of the silly looking wand and made the character on the screen do things. The ambulance guys were pretty good at the game. They stabbed the enemy character repeatedly and even got off some critical hits. The avatar for their character was a guy with a big sword in a cowboy hat. I thought that was very fitting. I tried playing the game but I got owned. It’s so much easier to just use a controller. And I got tired after waving the wand around a lot. I must be getting old because, next-generation gaming things seem really dumb to me. But I was the same person back in the day who thought the “Power Pad” was boring. These complex controllers are just gimmicks to confuse the gamer into thinking they are having more fun by making them tired. A high quality gaming experience stimulates the mind.
I wonder what those ambulance guys were doing at Frys playing video games?
