WOOHOO I just read at www.pspfanboy.com that the GPS for PSP is coming to the US in 9 months YAY! I can't wait. If the GPS is coming in 9 months the camera and tv tuner wont be too far behind. You know what this means don't you? That will make the PSP the ultimate device. As it is the PSP is a mp3 player, a picture viewer, movie player, game machine, website browser, cell phone and internet radio player. All we need now are the GPS, Camera and TV tuner. The PSP already has the camera option in the pictures menu so we don't need to worry, just plug in the camera and were set.
EDIT: Ok, I just read some more news, the camera for the PSP will never see the US so you have to buy it from an asia website and unfortunately it's back ordered lol. But I have a camcorder with a SD card that I can do video on mini DVD's as well as take pictures with the SD card so I don't care about that but the good news is that the GPS hardware is coming this holiday season which is faster than 9 months. It's more like 4 or 5 months which is awesome. I can't wait because when we take trips I have to use my laptop for our GPS and it gets hot sitting on my lap and if I have the GPS for PSP I can just get a mount for it.

Skype for PSP
About a month or so ago Sony added Skype to their Sony PlayStation Portable but you have to buy the headset with the microphone and the remote control. Of course not long after that they created the combination for sale. Before you could only buy the headphones with mic by itself and then you'd have to additionally buy the headphones with the remote control. You need the remote control for it to work.
I have started thinking about how maybe it is a good thing because if you have a cell phone and have unlimited calls that's fine but I don't. I have a pre-paid cell phone and so my calls cost .40 cents per minute. It's especially frustrating when I am roaming. I think I should be able to call out for free on a cell phone like everyone else. Of course with Skype it is only free if you call other Skype users, otherwise you can buy time which is like 500 or 600 minutes for $10 which isn't bad or you can pay $2.95 a month for unlimited calls (which is about 10,000 calls per month, they added that in there).
But you have to be in a wifi hotspot to be able to take advantage of that. I don't know what T-Mobile has for you to use though. I was given a 6 month free wifi hotspot thing with the purchase of the PSP which I have not used yet because I don't take it with me everywhere I go. I'm thinking that maybe the $10 phone card is a good idea cause I probably wouldn't use it all the time and that 5 or 600 minutes wouldn't expire after a month, you keep the minutes until you've used them up.
As soon as I get the money I'm going to think about getting the headset with mic from Game Stop and then setting an account up for me. I think it's a good deal. And I want to see what T-Mobile does for PSP users per month.

No Word From Shelley
Well, today was Monday and I sent that letter to Shelley on Thursday so she should've gotten it on Saturday. I was thinking maybe she might get it on Monday and then I'd hear from her since I didn't hear from her on the weekend. But, I didn't hear from her today so I'm thinking that I will probably get it back in the mail tomorrow (return to sender, person doesn't live here anymore) or perhaps it went into the garbage can. Maybe she or whoever she lives with thought it was junk mail and trashed it. I think if I don't get it back in the mail that maybe she thought it was junk because of the labels so I might try again with a new letter but writing "Shane" as the return address and writing her address on the envelope instead of using a label. I also might think about using the other address that I have for her since there were 2 addresses in the thing that I got from US Search. I won't give up just yet. I might also think about printing that picture as a little tiny sticker and use it to seal the envelope. You won't be able to miss that.

Waiting...
Well, I guess I gotta wait and wonder for another day or so. I didn't get a phone call from Shelley today like I was expecting. I can only think that she didn't get it in the mail or it went to her moms house and she didn't go get it or something. Or, they don't live there anymore and I will get it back in a few days. I can only wait and see.
Anxiously waiting
Yes I realize watching the phone isn't going to make it ring. I sent Shelley the letter and it should've arrived today and it's 5pm now which means she should've been off work by now unless she works at night however in which case I will have to wait until tomorrow, she probably hasn't checked her mail yet. At any rate, I sit here waiting anxiously for her to call.
Doctor Who Season 1
Well I just finished watching the last episode in Season 1 of Doctor Who from 1963/64. I look forward to seeing Season 2. It starts out with Planet of the Giants and then it goes on to the Daleks invading Earth hehe. I really look forward to the original Cybermen which is the first story in Season 5 which is the 2nd Doctor.
