The latest.... android phones, and funeral home blogs?

Well, I must say... this takes even me by some surprise....

Buzz and more buzz on android phones. As best I can determine, these are "open source" code type devices, act much like other cell phones, but not tied to a vendor specific line of applications. Looks like a few of the major players in this industry signed on to their open source consortium today.

Next taken by surprise, having had a recent death in the family, (an aunt), I was directed a week later to the on-line obit, wherein I was directed to the on-line funeral home blog where folks posted condolences. Now that is really something I find both facinating and horrifying all at the same time, but I guess it is nice to read and possibly post some tidbits to make everyone smile about a loved one who has passed away. But, be advised, just in case you weren't aware or the funeral homes weren't offering this in your areas yet... it's already being done.
