Blackberry

Been playing with the Blackberry a bit. After the firmware "upgrade", which made it slower than molases, I gained the ability to reset the background pictures for the home and standby screens. Below as an example of a new custom standby screen pic:

Nadal

Kind of cool article on ESPN about Nadal winning Garros for a second consecutive year:

Nadal shakes early nerves to dismiss Federer

"It seems Roger Federer can beat everyone except Rafael Nadal.
...
He earned his second successive Roland Garros title and extended his record clay-court winning streak to 60 matches. He also prevented the top-ranked Federer from becoming only the third man to hold all four major titles at the same time.
...
He became the youngest man to win consecutive championships at Roland Garros since Bjorn Borg in 1974-75. His reward: about $1.2 million. Federer received $600,000. "

Sports

Alonso won Silverstone (F1) and Nadal won Roland Garros (French Open) today. Been watching the World Cup as well this morning. I am usually not this much into sports, but there is quite a bit going on.



I've also added custom zoom buttons (+ and -) to the GoogleMap on the right hand column. I figured it can be useful.
