Which one would you prefer?
Spec-wise they match up quite well - the HD has more RAM, other than that, they're identical (although, the Z's processor is underclocked to 800MHz). There's two main differences: Screen size (4.3-inch vs 3.7-inch) and physical keyboard (none vs one).
I'm not sure myself - I like the HD's screen, but I also like a keyboard. The trackpad on the Z would be nice, and the battery cover on the HD is the same as the Legend's (which is a feature I somewhat detest).
This week is work experience week! Oh boy! I've spent my week helping at a library. I'm writing this, on fact, on the bus, listening to I am the Doctor from the proms on loop. Its the only music I can fit on my phone until my new microSD card arrives. The good thing about Work Experience is that I get a basically stress-free week and I don't have any homework. So I can pretty much spend my free time however I like without any hassle. And on top of that, I get much higher chances of employment i
I'm currently working on a project: a card/cardboard Kanohi Ignika. It's going great so far, I've got a prototype pic about a week old:
Since then I've made the top have a more stick-out thing, like the real mask, and covered the top in black. I've also done a scale version of the actual front of the mask, so I'm gunna stick that on and use cardboard for the guy. And the stripes.
So yeah, look forward to that, I'll post more pics when I'm finished or I have another decent WIP stage (it
Wow. WinPho looks very very very nice. But unfortunately I fear it may be at the compromise of function. I can't wait for it, though. If I had money I'd pick up one, probably an HTC Surround, but I'd also pick up a Palm Pre 2, probably first, because I want WebOS! But before that I'd need to upgrade my Android, obviously. OK, Desire HD, Pre 2, Surround, that's the new list Too bad all the phones need to be expensive and high-end. Oh that's right, I just remembered! There's a company calle
Thinking of refreshing my blog a touch with a Windows Phone 7 theme to it. Any thoughts? Profile is done on the side right thar. Really liking the style so far.

I've been looking at getting a Kindle for a while now, and I noticed something very odd - the Kindle seems to be going for more on eBay than it is on Amazon. Why is that? Why can I buy a Wi-Fi only Kindle for $150 on Amazon but it costs $230 on ebay? The Kindle DX is selling for $500 on eBay but $300 on Amazon.
I can only find a single Kindle that is below RRP, a Wi-Fi only Kindle 3. But it's an auction, so it'll probably end up higher. Why is this happening? Why is a site known for savings s
I just want to post a quick entry about Science. As is pretty clear, I want to be a scientist, specifically particle physicist, when I am older. The main reason is a strong urge to discover the universe. I have a love of truth, sometimes annoyingly strong in social circumstances. These are the reasons I feel so strongly about science. But I also accept that the vast majority of people don't share these feelings, and the following is why, even if you don't share my love of truth and urge of disco
Hey guys
I went to see 2012 last night, and it was quite good. The graphics were good and the story was decent.
So all the things you expect from a disaster movie. Especially when it's accompanied by myths and bad science.
So one thing I'd like to say is this:
The Mayan Calendar. Many people believe that, because the Mayan Calender's Long Count ends on December 21st 2012, the world will also end then.
This is just untrue. The Mayans, were they still around, would have switched cal
I haven't made an entry in a while, so I thought I might as well.
I've been playing Platinum quite a lot recently. I'm trying to finish the national Pokedex. My seen count is at 340 and my caught is 100 and something.
Right now I'm training my Dragonair and any random Pokemon I haven't evolved yet.
I'm also very excited about the new TF2 update, the Sniper/Spy Update, since I main Spy, and the Dead Ringer looks awesome.

Yesterday I made the computer able to dual-boot Ubuntu 10.10, Maverick Meerkat. I'm quite liking it overall, but there are a couple of bugs I've found. I might use this as my main operating system, even.
I'm also thinking of getting a Magic Trackpad, which hopefully would work on Ubuntu, and maybe even work on my netbook, because the actual trackpad is horrid on my netbook.
Not much else going on.

See what I did there? It's some tweets! And a button! Clicking the button takes you to my Twitter page! Oh how exciting! I do so love Twitter! Feel free to follow me, because I might be interesting! Rav
I just posted an entry about how there's been a massive earthquake in Chile, and that there would be a tsunami.
The wave just hit New Zealand. It was 3 metres tall.
It could get smaller, it could get bigger, it could stay the same. I'm hoping for the former. A >3m tsunami in Sydney would be terrible. It probably wouldn't get to our house, even more so because it's on a hill, but still, it'd wreck the CBD.
I have it. I found that out yesterday, unfortunately.
If you don't know, trypanophobia is an irrational fear of needles. I always knew I was afraid of needles, but I didn't quite realise how bad I had it until yesterday.
Yesterday, you see, I had something of an episode. Breathing became hard, my heart went heavy and fast, and my body weak, mainly my appendages. So my parents took me to hospital. There wasn't much in the way of people there, so we didn't have to wait too long to see the nu

My dad's put parental controls on, so I only have access to the computer 4 hours a day weekdays, 14 hours a day weekends.This is annoying, because it's the 4 hours of my day that nobody is online, that is, 6PM-8PM GMT+10
The End of Time Part 1 airs tomorrow, and I'm hoping at least SOME friends turn up to watch with us. If they don't, they should at least come for Part 2. The annoying thing is that (probably because of TV channel comp

Wait no that's Amy's line.
Yeah I found this in the fireplace in my room (legit, I didn't forge it or shop it):

So if you forget me, you'll know why.
Wait you won't, coz you won't remember remembering me.

Greetings, fair citizens of the BZPower.
Today marks my 6 year anniversary on BZP. Over half a decade on this site! And I get my Faxon!
Here's to 6 more!
And, it's the first monday of the holidays! Yay!
Here's to ONE MORE monday of the holidays. And all the days in between. And the 6 days after it.

The Stars are out in Australia!
I have no idea why I haven't said this on my blog until today, after all, I got them 4 days ago.
I like the Stars, particularly Nektann, Tahu, and Rahkshi. The first thing I did when I got them was to replace the MU beings' hands with MU hands, because beings of the MU do not have hands. A side effect was that Tahu's shield increases in awesomeness by a factor of 1 billion (that is, it looks like a proper shield, rather than a little disc or something.).
Looks amazing. Sense didn't use to be this awesome. Cached maps, skins, remote wipe, and more!
New phones!
Desire Z: Qwerty 'slider', 3.7-inch, 800MHz Snapdragon with awesome GPU, and the new Sense.
Desire HD: 4.3-inch, 1GHz Snapdragon with awesome GPU, and the new Sense.
Images link to their respective pages.
I want the Desire Z. It'd replace my Legend, the Galaxy S would be the other one. Which is something else I don't have.
And a Galaxy Tab. Too much to want, no money!
Plot of the Lodger:
-Doctor gets stuck on Earth for a bit
-Goes to live with normal people
-Hilarity ensues
We know NEXT TO NOTHING about the Lodger. NEXT TO NOTHING.
IT MAKES ME SO MAD!
All I know is the above is true (hopefully even the third one) and he has a humourous conversation with Amy over his ear thingy at some point.
I'm paraphrasing the end bit here:

I am now the proud owner of a copy of BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn.
Oh and Cendox V1
But who cares about Cendox! I GOT TLR!
It was fantastic, exceeded my expectations (and they were high)
not QUITE as fantastic as District 9, unfortunantly (although, D9 is nearly impossible to top. It was REALLY fantastic... Both times I saw it...). But still brilliant.
I especially liked the scene where *is sniped by the spoiler sniper*

I've got it. We all know owning Apple products make you cool, right? So:
coolness = (amount of Apple products in house * avg. of last two digits of their release dates) / 10
Or in short form:
C=AR/10
Problem solved. This equation is perfect. It's arranged so that owning a Newton is around 10 times cooler than owning an iPad, and 100 times cooler than owning a 1st gen iPod. Genius!
My coolness is 5, btw. What's yours?
