Someone argued with me that it would cost the same to get and operate a Blackberry if I just signed a 2-year contract. Well, I have no desire to sign a contract. I have been contract free since 2002 and I am not going back. Besides, it would cost me around $400 to get one without a contract and pay an extra $40 per month on top of my current phone plan. Compare that to the Peek which cost me about $80 and is $20 per month.

Don't get me wrong. I love my cellphone company and my Motorola ROKR cellphone. I just can't afford to spend more than I really need to. I think all of you can understand that. The Peek compliments my phone and bridges the gap between it and a smart phone.

The Peek is a very simple device. It does one thing: email. And it does it pretty well. I got the Peek Pronto and it's proving to be vey useful. I love the qwerty keyboard and the small form-factor of the device. It definitely meets my needs for getting email on-the-go.

You can learn more about the peek at www.getpeek.com.

Attention Pensacolians! I just got an email that says that 20th Century Fox is running a promotional campaign to see where they will hold the premier of the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" movie.

Now, I know our town sucks and everyone complains about not having anything really cool happen. Well, now I'm asking for you to quit your bitching. I'm putting in your hands the power to have something totally awesome happen in our town. Visit http://x-menorigins.com/premiere/ and plug in our zip code.

Just remember that if you don't vote for Pensacola, then it's your fault that our town sucks. If you do vote, you can hold your head high and know that you are not part of Pensacola's sucky problem.
