I've had my BlackBerry Storm now since early December.  I can say I am quite happy with it.  Over the last few weeks I have found some apps that are free and great to use.

1. GMail Mobile [ OTA Download ]
   The mobile gmail app is great.  Works flawless.
2. TwitterBerry [ OTA Download ]
   BlackBerry + Twitter = Fantastic.  This app is at the top of my list.  It is lighweight and full of features.  It also has twitpic support.
3. YouTube [ OTA Download ]
   Great for killing time!  The app is real clean and makes it very easy to watch and search YouTube videos.
4. FaceBook [ OTA Download ]
   Not much in the way of features, but the basics are there.  I also like the ability to post photos directly to facebook.  Comes in handy.
5. Viigo [ OTA Download ]
   RSS, Sports Scores, Weather and much more!  This is a must download.
6. Google Maps [ OTA Download ]
   Not much needs to be said about this one.  The only feature missing is the ability to use the built-in GPS for turn-by-turn directions.
7. Soft Reset [ OTA Download ]
   Phone running slow, want to restart your Storm?  Use Soft Reset to make it happen without having to pull the battery.

I'm sure there are PLENTY of cool apps that I missed... I'll make posts as I find them.

I did a quick search for different Twitter FireFox add-ons.  Initially I was looking for a slick way to search Twitter.  I didn't find a great selection, then I remembered that you can add custom searches to FireFox.  Here's what I did:

1. Go to http://search.twitter.com
2. Click the dropdown menu next to the upper right search box
3. Click "Add Twitter Search"
4. Thats it!

Now, I took it one step further and added a keyword shortcut for the search.  I used the keyword "t".  You can find this by selecting "Manage Search Engines" then click "edit keyword".  With this, you can now just type "t jerryjr" in the address bar and you will be on your way to quickly searching twitter.
 

I've had my Sharp LCD TV for over a year now and I never really thought about a more intense calibration.  After seeing a TV that has been professionally calibrated, I'm starting to think that I should invest in that myself.

I did a bit of research and found that there is a Blu-Ray DVD which may help me to it on my own.  It's called Digital Video Essentials and is just $16.99 at Amazon.com.  I will be ordering mine shortly and will have a follow up post about how well it worked.
