Last Sunday, I picked up an LG Vu mobile phone from AT&T. It's a nice touch screen phone with Java MIDP 2.0 support. Since it's not categorized as a PDA, my Internet plan is $15 per month (as opposed to $30 per month for PDAs).
Overall, I'm very happy with it. It's not perfect, of course. There are some annoyances here and there. But, it should help keep me occupied during idle moments.

Frozen Yogurt Recipe
After trying a handful of frozen yogurt recipes, I've settled on a favorite (for now):
3 cups (24 oz) plain Greek yogurt
2/3 cup sugar
Mix in a bowl, turn on the frozen yogurt machine (also an ice cream machine), then pour the mixture into the machine and leave for 25 or so minutes. For better results, put into a freezer-safe container and freeze overnight. Add toppings like blueberries, etc.
This recipe is a little similar to Pinkberry in taste (IMHO). Greek yogurt works well, because it contains less water which becomes icy when frozen. It also gives it a slight tangy taste. As far as brand names, Voskos worked the best, followed by Greek Gods. I also tried Fage brand, but for some reason it was very crumbly when frozen. In all fairness, however, I used the total fat (not low fat or nonfat) versions of Voskos and Greek Gods. But (due to availability at Trader Joe's) for Fage I used 17 oz of total fat with 7 oz low fat (yes, strange quantities). However, I don't think the difference should have been that dramatic.
Yummy! Homemade frozen yogurt! Cheaper than buying outside and I almost know the exact ingredients!
