adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

If you are so inclined... sap {at} lifelovepursuit.com

Official First Android Phone
I played with this phone yesterday in San Francisco. I am far from an expert but a few items of note:
keys are soooo flat. hard to type, not nearly as good as blackberry, but according to the people I was with, better than the iphone
Google talk interface and functionality is badass, it kills blackberry messenger
Gmail is really awesome also, a souped up version of new release, easy to use, organized
Google maps has better localization, easier to use Google local on this than other PDAs
Roll ball is annoying. This is a mistake. Looks like it will break easily, similar to the ones blackberry uses, should have been more like a Macbook mouse
Dealbreaker for me: It looks SO MUCH like a Sidekick. Do people really want people to see them holding a sidekick clone? It just isn’t sexy like the iPhone
