I haven’t posted in a long time. Oops.

For the past four months, I’ve been driving a new Volkswagon Jetta TDI. It’s an interesting car to say the least. On the highway, the car can achieve upwards of 40mpg. However, the cost of diesel (relative to the cost of gas) make it a little more expensive to run than the average economy car (civic, coralla, etc.) If you’re looking for a comprehensive review of the car, look elsewhere. I’m a student, not a car reviewer.

I recently got an LG Dare to replace a Motorola Razr v3c. The Dare, currently the highest rated Verizon cellphone on Consumer Reports, overall, is a solid phone. It’s large touch screen gives a reassuring shake every time it’s touched. The operating system installed on the phone seems reasonably fast (compared to my sluggish razr), but there are reports that the text input box slows down when typing longer paragraphs.

However, I do have a few gripes. The touch screen vibrates even if you hit a blank area of the screen. For example, say you are typing a text message. It will vibrate even if you miss a key.
