Using swype. The new keyboard for my Evo


I am trying a new keyboard called Swype. It is very intuitive to use. The learning curve though difficult at the beginning gets very easy fast. The trick is to slide your index finger over the keyboard. I have been using it for ten minutes and is becoming my favorite input method. If you have a touch screen device try it,  you are going to love it!

Caleto is visiting



This week Mr. Caleto came to visit from Houston. He drove the entire day and made it into Knoxville by 10.30pm. Next day, we were able to watch the World Cup. We were especially interested to see the Argentina-Nigeria match. Argentina won by one goal; however, the final score did not reflect what had happened during the match. Argentina was superior and the score should have ended by at least a three point difference in favor of Argentina. The argentinians are looking like favorites to be in the final four of the tournament.

Caleto will stay few more days to enjoy soccer before heading back to Venezuela with a stop in Houston.

Playing Warhammer 40K

Leandro and I are spending this evening playing a strategy game called Warhammer 40K. It is nothing like the games I used to play when I was a kid. This game which it is impossible to understand for a first timer like me; requires a great deal of reading, imagination, patience and funds too. it is indeed very interesting to see how the dice does not have the same known function that it did when we played board games. In this game you measure by inches and you move according piece worth and what you get in the dice too. More about the game later; when I understand what's going on!
