Android phone battery lifetimes suck, but you knew that already. A few weeks ago, I was visiting the heart of downtown Tampa, FL. I stayed in a beautiful hotel across from the Convention Center, and had no Sprint coverage. ”But Greg,” you say, “one of Sprint’s first WiMAX 4G towers is there! Their coverage map shows ‘in-building 4G’ coverage!” Yes, my Internet friend, I do see that, but alas, I also saw the prohibitory icon on my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G, for an entire week.

I’ve been accepted into the Masters program at UMBC and so hopefully that gives me an excuse to be on campus, but I’m also not sure that’s what I really want.
There’s really just too much going through my head right now. I need to settle down and let it all sink in. I need the time to do that now.
I never thought I would see this day.

So today, this afternoon, less than a week until I’ll be walking across a stage laid out on a Catonsville basketball court waiting for a piece of paper and a severe butchering of my last name in exchange for $40,000, I bring you my new beginning, earlier than even I expected.
