For those of you who have never seen the local news in Houston, Marvin Zindler was an “over the top” news reporter who focused on consumer fraud. While he was known to like the limelight (and dress for it), I do think that he truly helped thousands of people during his life and left an indelible mark on Houston. Thank you Marvin!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on an 8GB iPhone today. It’s definitely very cool as it stands now, and from what I’ve been reading, will be even better once additional applications are developed for it. I’ve been a treo user for several years, and while there are some applications on there I already miss, it’s hard not to love the iPhone.

Activation went very smooth. The most difficult part was calling Sprint to get my old phone removed from our family plan. Now, I have to get all of my contacts and calendar setup in iCal and the AddressBook so that I can sync everything properly. Feels a little out of sorts right now, but I know in a week everything will be back to normal.
