[Chatter] "Where everybody knows your name ..."

[dmmarck]

Here's an update...

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Dylan Marck and I am a licensed attorney interested in your open corporate counsel position. In addition to the qualifications listed in my resume, I am also a hardcore Android fanatic.

My discovery of the Android Operating System ("Android") became, unknowingly at the time, a life changing event. For my entire life I had always been interested in gadgets but never had the opportunity to own or play with them--until the HTC DROID Incredible came out. The "DINC" had so many features and details I had never before experienced; mobile internet, touchscreen, YouTube, apps? What is this, magic?! And while the DINC was a loving companion for life's adventures, notably helping me organize and manage the members of Ave Maria's Law Review, helping me plan out of my bar preparation, and delivering the news of my victory in late October 2011, I knew I needed to expand my Google/Android fandom or else I'd never get a taste of the true, high-proof goodness.

Enter the Nexus. In late 2011 I was feverishly typing away in class at Georgetown, updating my Corporate Tax I Outline in Google Docs when my buddy messaged me: "Hey man, are you gonna get the Nexus Prime?" Intrigued, I started doing more research about this ultimate Google Experience device. And before I knew it, I was salivating: dual core, no hard buttons on the front face, and best of all--pure, heavenly, super-clean Android OS. During finals all I had to motivate me was the perpetual myth of Santa and the idea of holding a Nexus in my hands Christmas morning, and happily that came true. On the 29th of December.

Still, my experience has been fantastic. So fantastic that I decided to join an online community, Android Central, where I shared my newfound love of all things Android, including but not limited to fastboot commands; adb pushing; installing a variety of different roms, recoveries, and kernels; compiling Android from source; and factory restoration in case you travel off the beaten path and need to come home.

Needless to say, this continued throughout the time spent at Georgetown, and shortly after graduation and receipt of my Master of Laws Degree in Taxation, even better news came out: the Nexus 7! See, I have an admission. I own an iPad. I have for a while. It's not half bad, if we're being honest. But because of you, Asus, and creator of beautiful things, Matias Duarte, I now have a 100% complete Google ecosystem, relegating all things not-Google to the scary place beneath my bed. But my devices are not just toys--they are also tools. I use them to edit work, to read articles, to analyze documents and laws. I used my Nexus 7 as a way to share new and pertinent articles important to a summer project. Google, may it be with GMail, Calendar, Docs/Drive, or even Chrome, has enabled my life--personal, professional, academic--to be as easy, simple, and amazing as possible. Thank you.

Los Angeles . He's nuts. Decided to move there with no job or house at random.

In all, the impact Google and Android have had on my life cannot be quantified or reduced to a single letter. It has given me professional and social opportunities I could not have dreamed of, and for that, I am ever grateful. In addition to this letter, I have attached my resume detailing my qualifications and experience. If you require any further documents, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Dylan Marck

I like the fact that you want to stick with the blunderbuss as you post with your s3

Tbolt was a flop but all in all really wasn't that bad. Just way to thick n heavy and no real upside coming from those qualities.

On the other hand, at least its not a dinc 2, bionic, or charge.

Battery life on the thing was its biggest problem. Only way I ever got through an entire day without charging was to use the huge extended battery. If Android phones weren't a hobby, I could see still using the Tbolt as my daily phone. It hasn't even been two years since the phone launched and there are plenty of people that stick with their devices for their entire contract.

Edit: Just watched the IGN review of Borderlands 2 and I kinda want it and don't at the same time. Dunno, just doesn't look like the shooter I would like to play.

Didn't watch the review, but, I know I don't have to. I played the first SO much. Was great fun both single player and co-op. I found it to be an excellent swing on the shooter genre. I scored it mad cheap too. In fact, I have an activation code to download and play it waiting for me when I get home. Just saw it in my inbox this morning. : D Which is strange because Wikipedia says it launches on the 18th, which makes sense because that is a Tuesday, but, the email I got says it's available for download today at 12:01 AM. And, it says your activation key will be sent out on the day of release, and, there is an activation key in the email.

Did you play the first one? If not, I liked that it was a shooter with character development and a skill tree, ya know? And, I liked that it had loot and equipment and whatnot.

What didn't you find appealing about it? Just curious.

What didn't you like about the charge? I actually liked mine more than my bionic and tbolt

As for charge etc: just thought that whole wave of phones was just a bid to get rid of all the old tech. Charge specifically had a wack shape and touchwiz orange coloration. Nope
