5 cell phones & 2 air cards

Cell phone junkie? Maybe. Probably. Okay, yes. Now that we’re over that, I carry 5 cell phones and 2 air cards. It just seems silly but its almost necessary.

- Cell phone for Canada (Rogers) – Sony Ericsson W810.
- Cell phone from the office (AT&T) – Blackberry Curve.
- Cell phone for personal use (Verizon) – Blackberry World Edition.
- Cell phone for personal use (AT&T) – Nokie N95-3.
- Cell phone for another office (Verizon) – Samsung something.

A cell phone for Canada is required when I head home to avoid insane roaming fees. It is actually cheaper to carry an extra cell phone over paying roaming and long distance fees.

Office phones are office phones. Can’t get away from them and they need to be separate.

Blackberry World Edition handles my personal email and friends/family phone calls. The N95 is in the mix because of its camera and video taking abilities. Better than carrying around a standalone camera and the AT&T 3G service is awesome.

And finally one air card is from Sprint (work) and a personal one from Verizon.

My pockets are always full. But I always have cell phone reception :)

Air Canada First Class

Just got back to Houston from a trip up to Montreal. I was fortunate enough to travel in one of Air Canada’s new Boeing 777 (one of less than four at the moment). I was riding up front in the new interior. Spacious, mood lighting was nice, seats are on par with the industry. Although, taking off sitting sideways was a little uncomfortable being pushed up against the hard plastic side.

Here are some shots are I boarded the plane.

Snowy Montreal

In Montreal for the US long weekend

I’ll be in Montreal Wednesday night through to Sunday night.  Hit me up on my Houston or Montreal cells to meet up if you’re also in town.

Gotham Pizza – Houston

One of the guys who helps run a few restaurants in town pointed me to Gotham pizza as some of the best pizza around.  So before going out last night we decided to grab some pizza, play some NCAA football on the PS3 and get ready for the night.

The calzones were pretty awesome.  And The Works pizza and Philly Steak pizza was awesome.  If you’re in town, grab a slice or a pie.
