Sun, 20 May 2012 01:53:36 GMT <![CDATA[Smokie's Blog]]> Sun, 20 May 2012 01:53:36 GMT Just goes to show that you might start a blog but if one doesn't have much to say, then it's doomed to fail or at least stagnate.

 

What a boring life I lead now..

]]> <![CDATA[Why did I start a blog?]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:46:51 GMT Wifie traded in her 2006 Honda Accord VTi Special Addition with only 62K on the speedo for a 2009 Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed with only 6500k (X demo car).

It's a 2L, 5 speed semi auto with paddle shifts behind the steering wheel and what a fun car it is to drive.

Photos here.. Alfa

 

 

]]> <![CDATA[Traded up..]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:50:39 GMT I was so impressed with the small tablet that I went out and bought an 10" Asus Transformer tablet with an attachable keyboard.

 What a brilliant device. Just remove it from the docking/keyboard and it's ready to use anywhere you want. It does connect to the internet but only by Wi-Fi so that can limit it to how far you can go while staying connected.

 The O/S is the Android 3.2 Honeycombe and once you have used it a few time, it's easy to use and it's fun downloading different apps for it plus you can also download ebooks as well.

]]> <![CDATA[New Tablet..]]> Sun, 15 Jan 2012 09:43:08 GMT Just bought an 8" Android 2.2 tablet to try out. Fun little thing that can be used via wi-fi to go on line but unfortunately Skype doesn't work on it, which is a bummer.

Works well as an Ebook reader as well. Plenty of free books to download.

Might upgrade to a 2.3 Android one a little later on as it does allow Skype to work.

 It's stories like this that make me sit back and realise just how lucky I am to reach my age of 62.

 Also just found out a friend of mine died last month at 58 yo.

]]> <![CDATA[Life is short..]]> Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:59:18 GMT Thought to myself, what should I try in 2012 that I have not done before?

 Start a blog of course about nothing in particular. Just my views and opinions on life and the state of the world..
