I am out of contract with AT&T on my iPhone 3G. I had always intended to wait for the expected June announcement of the next generation iPhone, and so I did. In the meantime, HTC/Sprint announced the new EVO. Of course, right on schedule, Apple introduced the iPhone 4.

I saw none of Woody Harrelson's three movies, even after thoroughly enjoying him in 2007 (No Country for Old Men) and 2008 (Seven Pounds). Zombieland was probably worth it, I just never got around to it. I saw only one of George Clooney's movies (Up in the Air), even though I pretty much see every non-Ocean Lenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09909060700619720237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238373142689371594.post-363895705951441892010-01-04T04:42:00.000-08:002010-01-04T04:42:55.065-08:00Vid of Week 2010-01-04: Lost Premieres in One MonthI am so pumped for the Lost season 6 premiere due to air on February 2.

Dances with Wolves for its obvious plot similarities, The Abyss for its spectacular visual otherworldness, Starship Troopers for the obvious plot similarities, and Gorillas in the Mist for the anthropological side story (and, of course, for Sigourney Weaver)

But GMail has had one major flaw over the years, an inability to cull duplicate contacts. Back in February, Google offered a partial solution that still required a lot of manual work on the part of the user. Well, they finally got around to automating that process. Hallelujah!
