Journal Journal: Cell Phone Dilemma

Today is Thursday, and I am into my usual week of travel to NJ from Tuesday morning to Friday afternoon. Today I am wondering the topic of cell phone chargers. Why are there so many different interfaces to phones via the charger? I am thinking of this because my charger is sitting home, 4 hours away. And my battery is nearly dead. Now I know that I can just go to Wal*Mart and pick up a new one (even though I hate Wal*Mart with everything that I am), but that isn't the point. When my car battery goes dead, I don't have to go back to VW in order to get the battery charged - I can just to to any charger and amazingly, it recharges the battery. When my flashlight goes dead, I don't need to call Maglight and wait 6-8 weeks for Maglight batteries - any local store with D cells works.

So why is it that we can stand to have cell phones everywhere, but not have even a universal charger interface in the phone?

Journal Journal: BORING

So, as I sit at my desk today, waiting for a compile to finish, I wonder just how many other people in the world are sitting at their respective desks, bored.

I also wonder why blogs are so popular - I read one the other day of a woman I know. That day, she told everyone her bathing and grooming habits. Is it really that bad that we need to read about the grooming habits of others in order to entertain ourselves?

This is my first Journal Entry. I feel sort of weird - confused even. And I'm sure it will be over far too soon. Yep. All done.
