I thought of this while I was on my way home from work. We'll see how long this effort lasts...

Here's my week in review:

• I got tired of the Bluetooth headset that came with the BT accessory bundle I picked when I got with my LG enV.


The Motorola H505Z isn't a bad headset. The sound quality is actually pretty good. It's just that there are two things that I really don't like about it. One of them is the deal breaker. The minor problem I have is that it's hard to differentiate where the main button for this headset is when you're wearing it. The button (as you can see from the picture) is pretty much flush with the rest of the headset. Makes it hard to differentiate when you can't actually see it in front of you. The other problem, and the reason I'm looking for an alternative, is that it sits on your ear instead of going in your ear. Whenever I put this on, I can feel it flopping around on the side of my head. It's not like I'm running a marathon while wearing it or anything. So, out it goes.

The replacement is the Plantronics Discovery 640E.

It's a nice headset. I bought it at Best Buy. One minor issue I had was that I couldn't get any ear piece to fit snuggly in my ear. But, it fits just fine if I use the ear loop. I'm returning it to Best Buy, though. I found it at Amazon.com for almost half what I paid for it at BB ($99.99 vs. $57 w/ free shipping).


• While I was at Best Buy, and mainly because of a discussion I had with sugarfreak, I finally bought a copy of Guitar Hero 2. I haven't played it yet. But, now that I have access to co-op mode, I'll get my wife involved.


• An acquaintance recently gave birth prematurely to fraternal twins. They're such early arrivals (15 weeks early, I think). I think about the three of them quite a bit.


• The other day, I was driving home from work and as I was merging onto the freeway, I was passed by this:
  
  
  
  It's a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren. I didn't know it at the time (it's not like you see many of them in MN) so I sped up to follow it closely enough to read the badging on the rear of the car. MSRP is $452,750. Yowz! Gorgeous.

So, that's about what I remember of this past week. Well, that and the fact that baseball season started (w00t!!!) and that it's as cold as January right now. The weather gets the "gas face".

Word to your mother.
