myTouch

Two big things happened/are happening this week. First, I finally got my new myTouch Android phone. Second, I'm moving out of my apartment. The myTouch is awesome. The coolest feature so far is the bar code reading application I downloaded earlier today. For the past couple weeks I've been typing book ISBN's into my computer by hand as I pack each book. Typing the ISBN's is time consuming and prone to error. With my new barcode reader I get each ISBN in seconds and, with a few taps, save the book to my online Google Library. Then I go to Google Library and add labels to the book, such as 'box 4' and/or 'to stanford'. Incredibly convenient! Oh, the happy confluence of Android and moving boxes! I think I'll glue barcodes to all my underwear next. That way I can track how often I wash each pair. OK, maybe not :). But I could, and that's what matters!
