As I mentioned before, I picked up a Nokia 3650 phone and have been running around taking pictures.
Here's one I took today on my way to a meeting at work:
The phone has so many functions, I still haven't figured out how to do one tenth of what it can do.
In other news, I bought the full set of Giant Robot DVDs.
For those that don't know, Johnny Sokko and Giant Robot is a series from Japan in the late 60s that was dubbed into English and shown in the US in the 70s, when I was a young boy.
My brother and I loved Giant Robot because he was controlled by the young boy, Johnny Sokko. We could easily imagine ourselves being Johnny and would often act out Giant Robots movements.
I played the first episode for the girls yesterday and they loved it. Thanks to the interent, almost anything from my memory is instantly available to me.

Posted by: Matt P [http://www.crookdimwit.com] on February 5, 2004 07:59 AMI remember Johnny Sokko too. Is my age showing?
I was thinking about trying out that phone because it works internationally and I have a trip to another continent in two weeks. Hmm...

He torrrrrtured me with those ~ ohjeez. There is just no escaping robots...
Onde você conseguiu a série Johnny Sokko em DVD?
