Ambicom BT-GPS H1 Rev 2.0

Fry’s had a sale on Ambicom Bluetooth GPS units this weekend.  $39.00 less $20.00 mail in rebate.

The units are NEMA 0183 complaint and use the SiRF Star III chip set.  It works with a variety of software on PCs, Macs, PDA, smart phones, etc…

The unit is small, well built, rugged, includes a rechargable LiIon battery, and uses a standard mini-USB charging port (includes an automobile adapter as well).

For the price it’s hard to beat.

Time To Move On…

For the moment I’m going to hold off making any changes to my BLOG or web site… including moving to a new hosting server.

While I may think the customer service at 1and1 SUCKS, I don’t really need to interface with them very often, so I’m deciding to leave things as they are until after I get moved and settled.

I will be changing my BLOG time zone to Central Standard Time – that may effect some of you; but hopefully your RSS readers adjust the time properly for your time zone and you won’t see anything change (except the time of day my posts get published will now be 1:00 am CST rather than 1:00 am PST).

The Road Less Traveled

“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to speak of many things…” (Lewis Carroll)

I’ll be saying my final farewell to San Francisco in about a month; I’ve decided that it’s time to move back East.

It’ll be nice not having to deal with the insanity and incompetence which seems to abound in “Silly Valley”, and hopefully live in a community with much higher ethics and moral fiber (yeah, low bar to beat).

The only thing I will miss about San Francisco is the temperate marine climate; of course with the changes in the weather patterns over the last few years I’m not sure that I wouldn’t miss the temperate marine climate if I remained in San Francisco.
