Do you know your neighbors?

Is it weird that I don't know any of my neighbors? In Indianapolis, through a couple rental houses and apartments, I only met maybe 3 or 4 of my neighbors. In one house we shared a driveway with another house, so I talked to them a few times. Once they asked me to please shut my window when I was fucking. In Atlanta I met several neighbors in the two years I lived in a house, but didn't talk to any of them regularly. I made an attempt to make friends with these rednecks who lived down the street, and played paintball with them. They ended up rolling me for a couple hundred bucks on car repairs (actually my wife's fault). I knocked on my next door neighbor's door tonight to tell them their car door was open- and realized it's the second time I've spoken to them in the year and a half I've lived here. And I've never spoken to any other neighbors. Am I a dick and a bad neighbor or is this normal in an urban neighborhood?

LV Kickball - Wed Nov 18 4pm

I found a bi-weekly pickup kickball game in Summerlin. The next one is Wednesday Nov 18th at 4pm (meet at 3:45). They play in Pioneer Park, which is near where Summerlin Parkway ends in 95.

The group is called Recess, and they play volleyball and laser tag, as well as Wii games.

The more serious World Adult Kickball Association has a league that plays at Desert Breeze Park (Durango & Flamingo). They're finishing up a season now and say they should be starting up a Winter season. If there's a good turnout for the pickup games and we have fun, we can all join a team in January.

Post here if you can make it on the 18th and/or PM me your email address to join the email list.



EDIT- We can play for free on Wednesday the 18th, but may have to pay $7 for future games.

This dude really hates squirrels

Notice the hand and scissors in the lower left.

I wish he would have set up a second camera pointed away from the porch to watch the flight.

If I ever need a used mobile home

It's not serious, but it is a commercial for a real business-

Google Maps turn by turn navigation on Andriod 2.0 phones

I got the Samsung Instinct last year because it did spoken turn by turn directions and the iPhone didn't. I'm in strange cities all the time for work, so that's a key feature for me.

Check out the navigation app Google just unveiled for Android 2.0 phones-



The first Android 2.0 phone is the Motorola Droid for Verizon this week. Good for them. I didn't know Motorola was still in business. Hopefully Sprint will announce an Android 2.0 phone for early next year.

Anyone use an Android 1.6 phone? Is it good? AFAIK, you can't upgrade to 2.0 on your own, the provider has to push it to you.
