  I Love My New Phone I spent a few hours today getting the GPS feature of my phone working properly… I don’t have data service, so I needed to find a GPS program that would store all of its maps locally. I ended up downloading and installing Garmin XT, which took quite a bit of time, but seems to be [...]

  Sophomore Year, Krypton Construct, Sailing, etc. Boy, a lot has happened since my last personal post here. First of all, I joined the sailing team (somewhat inadvertantly, however).
