How to erase a blackberry 8100 – how to delete all data
I had a problem, and spent some time looking for a solution. Since it was a pain to find out how to erase all my data (hard reset) on a Blackberry 8100 from t-mobile, I thought I would post the process here and save someone some time.
- In the device options, click Security Options.
- Click General Settings
- Press the Menu key.
- Click Wipe Handheld.

Good luck!
Damn! Genarlow Wilson is innocent in my books – the injustice in Georgia
One of the people in my office sent me this story from ESPN about a young athlete named Genarlow Wilson who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Georgia for receiving oral sex from a 15 year old. Well, it's on video, she consented and he was 17.
That is not okay. You could probably put about 10% of males in jail using that logic! Me included!
Cost to remove wisdom teeth?
Tomorrow I will be dumber. Im getting my "wisdom" teeth out. Im kinda nervous because it's a pretty gross thing to have four teeth yanked out. Not to mention I dont like the dentist. Im lucky that Liza Zuzek will be taking care of me afterwards and driving me to her place. I'll have to stop to get ice cream on the way home. If I have general anesthetic, I will be pretty out of it until Sunday probably. Uh oh!
And, out of curiosity, my co-pay on my wisdom teeth is around $1100. How much did other people have to pay?

The animation on this is fantastic. I think the same group did some oil company commercial in the US - arriva or something like that but dont remember the name. Anyone else know?

Wirefly.com – cell phone reseller
Wirefly.com is like many cell phone resellers online - except it doesnt seem as shady. A lot of the places online have broken images etc... that make you doubt how solid the business is. My company uses blackberry phones that we have through T-Mobile. For fun, I decided to try and configure a plan on T-Mobile to see what kind of deal I could get through wirefly.com. The nice thing about Wirefly is that you are able to make easy comparisons of phones and prices. If you're looking for blackberry phones, it shows all of the blackberries on all networks. This makes it easy to see where the cheapest place is to get the model of phone you want. A lot of the phones are free after rebate on Wirefly which beats the instore buying experience where you generally have to pay for the nicer phones.
One thing they dont do very well is compare plans across networks. Once you click to look at the plans, you then have to select the network. A better way to do it would be to allow the user to look at plans by how many anytime & other minutes there are.
So, anyway, back to my blackberry pearl story. You can get one for free on wirefly.com with a t-mobile contract. You can also get two for free with a shared plan of $59.99 a month, but you have to pay 9.99 shipping. The other catch is you have $150 in mail in rebates for the two phones. In any case, this is much better than paying $199 per phone direct from t-mobile.
Overall, I am impressed. I can safely say that I will use Wirefly.com over buying a phone from a store or from the online store of t-mobile or others. It's so much cheaper, you have to be an idiot to do otherwise. The thing I have yet to have an experience with is the delivery, exchange process etc... Who is responsible if the phone breaks? Check out Wirefly.com and decide for yourself!

Photographs from Pol Pot’s secret prisons
I found a very interesting site through Digg that is from "The Cambodia Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts" that has a large collection of pictures from Pol Pot's secret prison, "S-21".
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
From Ryan Greenblatt:
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...
William Butler Yeats
