Windy Prairie

Yesterday I decided, for no particular reason that I wanted a new phone. So instead of wasting $700 on a new device I just installed Cyanogenmod on my old one. Not just any version but the unofficial ICS port. Really freaking cool. There are reports that this significantly improves battery life. I'm not seeing that.  But then again I use my phone alot. I have noticed that the Bluetooth sound is better and the overall responsiveness of the phone is noticeably better. I also enjoy the fact that the keyboard gives a nice buzz when pressing the keys. The feedback seems to make it easier to type. I am noticeably more accurate on hitting the keys then with the Gingerbread keyboard I was using. Or the LG mock Apple keyboard that came with the phone. (Side note: I fail to understand how people think that keyboard is useable. )

I write this post while the winds gust to 80+ km/h. Makes driving uncomfortable to say the least.
