Clear means Clear
A few months ago, I got an LG ENV3. Good simple non smartphone, nice keyboard works well etc. You know what’s stupid? LG decided to put a voice command function on the clear button. This is dumb as shit. When I press the clear button, it should exit out of all menus and then go to the main screen. When on the main screen, it should just stay there and do nothing. The point of clear is to get out of everything. Instead, when you press clear, it goes to the voice command menu, one of the most useless features ever. I can access whatever I want by browsing to it. I don’t need to go voice commanding my phone. Anyway. when you push clear, this obnoxious voice screams out “PLEASE SAY A COMMAND” followed by a loud beep. This happens even if the phone is on vibrate or silent. So stupid.
I have always had this problem, but never got a chance to write about it, but am going to now since I just got the best text message from Waspito: “fucking CLEAR button should CLEAR. not yell at me to say commands. esp when my phone’s on SILENT during class. fucking ***t”

Google Ruined my Homepage
Some moron engineer at Google made a brilliant decision: let’s collapse the iGoogle themes to fit more widgets in for those of us with smaller screen resolutions. FALSE. What the hell is the point of having a theme if it gets cut off? Use your brains, Google. I would much rather see the entire theme and scroll for my widgets. At least make it an option. Fix it now, it’s pissing me off.

What my theme should look like
My screen resolution is 1280×800. I know I’m not really doing well height-wise, but it’s not the worst. I like my Google themes to be seasonal, and they ruined it on me. Now everything’s cut off. Thanks Google
Update: 11/25/2009 – A Google employee replied back on their help forum and acknowledged that the users were upset. Google will be making a change to how this was implemented and will post back to let us know. I will keep you updated

Portfolioso
… there are some blog updates. Last January 1, I rolled out some new blog features. Without even trying or planning, I’ve done so again. They are mostly behind the scenes and don’t matter unless you’re me. Yes, I’m selfish like that. I also got rid of theCAPTCHA (the image code thingy you need to enter correctly to post comments). It was annoying and marketing research has shown that no one likes them. Maybe the 4 people who read this will actually comment, now that there’s one less step (doubtful because of the 75328 social media sites around). Seriously though, I hate CAPTCHAs and never got the letters right. There are better ways to block spam – and I’m doing that now. So hit me, spammers – you’ve got nothing.
Oh and resolutions. Expect lots more blog entries this year, like multiple posts per day… About whatever – because this site is pointless, and I will have more free time (possibly). It’s 2:18AM on New Years and I’m sitting home blogging like an asshole. Crazy partayyyyyyyy lots of beautiful women here…
