Linux has really come a long way here lately. I have been playing with UbuntuMate, and I like it. It has a good feel and also works on the new Raspberry Pi2. I like how the menus are setup. It just has a different feel than Ubuntu which is what I have been using. Check it out.

New cell phone

Normally a new cell phone would not be something very interesting to write about. I hate getting a new cell phone because you have to learn everything over. This new cell phone is the first "smart" phone for me. It is an Android Samsung Rugby Pro. I am excited about this phone because of the PSK app. I will be looking into this further. I also can use this phone to have weather maps during Skywarn activations. I hope going modern here will work out.
