The Samsung Galaxy Note

Hello lovers! Welcome back for an all new edition of Things We Love. This week, the things we love are getting a little more technologically advanced than they used to be. They’re so advanced, in fact that one of the things we love is learning how to live in this techie world.

You see, here at things we love, we’re usually not all that into the new and improved thing. It always seems like quite a hassle to keep up with because everything is constantly getting newer and improvier. It’s impossible to always have the latest and greatest thing. But when we’re forced to update, we don’t begrudge ourselves with a crazy amount of excitement about it. It looks like we’ve finally caught up with the times for a minute and we’re incredibly enamored with these times. Because these times have led us to be able to experience the wonder and majesty of The Samsung Galaxy Note.

We’d been lugging around an iPhone 3G for. ever. And we were full on members of the iPhone cult. If there was an app for drinking the coolaid, we would have downloaded it. But when we walked into the new cell phone store, something else was staring us in the face. This comically oversized Samsung Galaxy Note was just sitting there, begging to be toyed with. We’d seen reviews of the note and we were curious about it, but abandon our Apple brethren? Never.

But when we placed it into my (our?) hand, it was just so light. When we started learning about the Android operating system it seemed so versitile. When we saw that we would have the ability to write from it, read from it, take amazing pictures with it, make HD movies with it, view entire websites with ease from it’s giant screen, apply for no essay scholarships with it, and sooo much more, well, we just new we had to have it, so we could make an incredibly long, run-on sentence, with tons of commas in it for this blog.

If you’re going to make the switch, we’d highly recommend the Samsung Note. It rules!

Do you have The Note? Do you love it as much as we do?

It’s true that this isn’t a dating blog or, heaven forbid, a relationship blog. This is a blog where we document all of the things we love. I’m not sure if you know the format, or if you’ve tried to peer inside of the mind of a TWL writer lately, but this is basically how [...]

Teen Fiction To Love

Okay, I know what you’re thinking. “Teen fiction? you mean sweet valley high kinda shiz, right?” No, you idiot. There is as much variety to teen fiction as any other genre, the only difference being the main characters are all usually teen-aged.  Some teen-fiction everyone knows, but it’s no good to dismiss the whole genre because of a few lame sparkly vampires. [...]

Hello Lovers! Welcome to/back to Things We Love. The blog where we (I) talk about things we (I) love, in first person plural!

If you’re a first wave Battlestar Galactica nerd (don’t be offended, those words just go together), you’ve probably already seen it all, from the 80′s series right down to Caprica. Perhaps you hate the revival that SyFy did and perhaps you didn’t dig Caprica either. I think we all know what it’s like to be [...]

Between the films, video games, comics, television shows, and any other application I may be forgetting, Batman is an extremely confusing individual. Well, i shouldn’t really say “Batman”, because no matter how you look at him he’s still a guy in black tights with rippling abs/body armor. The person who is really confused here is [...]
