Mission Statement

It is my desire that I will not only grow myself, but that I might inspire others to take a step toward their own personal growth.

An Inventory/Grocery Shopping Adventure

Awhile back, I attempted to change some details as far as how the URL for this blog was going to work.  I can safely say that it failed miserably; and for a while I even forgot if my domain name was still registered!  This morning I finally gave in and decided to see if I could fix what I screwed up, and Voila! I have things back the way I had them set up originally.

Now, if you head to http://erintotten.com you will end up here (on the homepage I'm sure) again through the magic that is url forwarding.  I'm not ready to try that whole mess where I remove the "forwarding" part, and redirecting isn't needed.

I had lots about the new X in my Stream today


What I've managed to catch in my G+ stream on the new Moto X today; minus the +Ingress related stuff.


50 Gig of Drive storage for 2 years...

Bloatware...

Vs. iPhone, SGS 4, and One...

The Verge hands on...


Motorola also threw in some really cool customization (But for now only if you use AT&T).

Oh Dear; Watch your step Niantic!



New weapons only hackable from certain Motorola phones; I never dreamed that I would feel blackmailed into buying a certain phone.  If there is no concession made for those of us loyal and "since the beginning" players, I may have to stop playing.  We were prepared for commercial portals, those only in the game because a business paid for the exposure, and I had even entertained the possibility that item codes might be included with purchases as incentive to spend money at one store over another; obviously, Google would make money by selling the codes to the business as advertising.

This development has a lot of people upset, and I don't blame them.  I do think that perhaps it's worth waiting to find out if Google is really using something that many have made a lifestyle to make the game much less fun without the purchase and use of a Motorola device (Maybe everyone doesn't know Google bought Motorola?).  Either way; I'm prepared to wait and see where this goes.
