Since I moved out to Reno, it would be nice to have a Reno cell number, rather than a Cleveland cell number. I was unable to do this online, so I went up to the Verizon store to switch my number. As it turns out, they couldn't do it either. After they did some research, they discovered the problem. Since I was originally an Alltel customer (Alltel was gobbled up by Verizon about a year ago), my Alltel phone can't have a Reno area code. But... I could get a new phone with the Reno number, and of course a new 2-Year contract.
After a few choice words by me, I left the store very unsatisfied. However, I did realize something during the conversation. Yes, I will have to sign a new 2-Year contract, but there is no reason that I have to sign with Verizon.
So about an hour after I walked out of the Verizon store, I walked out of an AT&T store with a new iPhone 4. Why an iPhone? For the past year or so, I have always had two devices with me, my cell phone and an iTouch. So it made sense to merge them into one device. (On a side note, if you've never tried an iTouch, I highly recommend it. It's one of the coolest devices ever. It's basically an iPhone without the phone.)
Since I now have Web access anytime I want, what can I do with it? Well, one of my features on this blog has been the Running Logs, where I jot down notes and various hands from my session, and write them up later. So I figure, let's cut out the middle step, and just write it up live at the table.
I'm gonna try the first one on Sunday at around 9am PDT, or noon EDT, from the Atlantis. (One of their promotions to get morning games going is all players in the room at 9am have the chance to win $100. Last Sunday, there were two players, and they chopped the money.) I'll play whatever game they get started, which will probably be $2/$3 NL. I'll hopefully play for 4-6 hours, and watch the Browns get pummeled by the Steelers on one of the TVs in the room.
We'll see if this works or not. It may be a one time thing, or I may start doing it once a week or so.
