"Dingo" Dave's rants and raves

I keep reading in various news articles about the infamous death grip when holding an IPhone 4. I can get it to do it on my IPhone, but only with some forethought. But this brings us to the fixes. There's always the scotch tape deal, but I don't think… more »

Had to check out by 11AM, so I stored my bags with the bellhops, and walked around for quite a while. I had 6 hours to kill before I had to leave for the airport, and didn't want to spend a lot of money doing it. So I ended up at Harrah's, figuring I c… more »

Spent the morning/afternoon exploring the southern strip. Amazing! Started off by taking the monorail from the Imperial Palace station to the MGM Grand. What a difference in culture and ambience... The MGM Grand is just that... Grand! Of course, it's a… more »

Had a great meal, surf and turf with all the fixings, at Embers in Imperial Palace. I can highly recommend this restaurant, on the 5th floor of the Pagoda Tower. The steak was perfectly done, and the lobster, well, let's just say I haven't had such good… more »

One of the first people to get it, it's definitely another great product from Apple... It's heftier in the hand than my previous 3G. it's heavier, but it's also thinner, so it's gonna take a bit of getting used to. Where my previous 3G was rounded on t… more »

The past couple days I've been tracking the package from Lantau Island Hong Kong, to Anchorage, to Indianapolis, and finally to Denver! I should have it in hand tomorrow sometime! I'll post more information once I get it up and running. At least now… more »

I can't wait! I'm leaving for Vegas in under two days now! I'll be staying right on the "new" strip (new because I haven't been there in 27 years, and what USED to be the strip isn't anymore, I guess!) I'll be sending pics and blogs of my adventures… more »

Excuse me for the mess. I'm trying to get a new blogging system configured! more »
