Geek tattoos. We’ve all seen them. We’ve all looked at them or thought about them in some way.

So our question is, if you HAD to get something,
what would you get and why?

Show us a picture or tell us about it! We want to know!

First things first, Happy President’s Day! This day means so much to me! Being a person who works on holidays, I can finally find easy parking and get to work with no Seattle traffic. Amazing! What a joyus day! (What fore-fathers? Abe & George, who?)

Now back to the important stuff, Microsoft displayed and announced the Windows Phone 7 Series, a phone that has been long awaited by Microsoft/Window’s fans since the iPhone’s release 3 years ago. If you havent checked it out or watched the video yet, click here!

Feeling like I now live in the stone age with my touchscreen-less, no internet, scotch-tape enhanced, Blackberry Pearl that I purchased over 5 years ago, I feel like its finally time to step out of my comfort zone and consider a new phone. But now for the real question, which direction do I go? The Apple iPhone? Google’s Nexus 1? And now that the Windows Phone 7 Series is thrown into the mix, (-P.S. what kind of name is that?) this is a big decision to make!

Being someone who is definitely in between the Apple vs. Microsoft war, simple decisions have become extremely complicated with all the choices & conflicting limitations from both sides. Which products will work with this & that, who has what and which one works better, it’s a constant battle that must be settled with one solution: GIMMIE ONE!

Now here is something that sparkled my eye about the Windows Phone 7 Series. It will have Xbox Live. (Its going to have touchscreen! It’s going to have Windows! And it’s going to have XBOX LIVE! BIYAAAAAAAAAH! -Howard Dean) “But theres already a bajillion different games for mobile devices and some phones can already connect to XBL through certain applications!” So what does this really mean? Here’s what Microsoft’s said:

“Games—This hub delivers the first and only official Xbox LIVE experience on a phone, including Xbox LIVE games, Spotlight feed and the ability to see a gamer’s avatar, Achievements and gamer profile. With more than 23 million active members around the world, Xbox LIVE unlocks a world of friends, games and entertainment on Xbox 360, and now also on Windows Phone 7 Series.”

I’m excited to see what the Windows Phone 7 Series has in store. I might not wait til the 2010 holiday season to purchase a new phone, but at least I’m happy to be looking forward to one! What do you guys think about the Windows Phone 7 Series?

Starting April 15, 2010 Microsoft is discontinuing Xbox Live for the regular Xbox.
I can’t remember the last time I went on Live on my regular Xbox but still, just knowing that I can’t kind of makes me sad. :(
