Sunday morning coffee with a little musing: what the hell is wrong with #google #keep notes ?
I have come to realize what a half assed application #google #keep is.. my frustration is off the charts. Admittedly i am partly to blame but my god what a mess!!! i have two gmail accounts and i want to mass transfer notes from one account to another. i want to eventually phase out one of these accounts.. Apparently, there is no way to do it. i googled, no less and nada!! how does this feature not exist? the only option is to export using “take out” but then there is no import feature.. Again, HALF ASSED!! what good is this? Anyway, i thought i had this brilliant idea of opening both accounts via the web in two tabs.. multi select all my notes (there are alot) and then “paste” into the second account. I tried numerous times and it was not working or so i thought. It was definitely doing something. it was pasting over and over in my source account!!!! So effectively i quadrupled my notes in the account i want to phase out!!! So what’s the obvious next step? i searched “how to delete duplicate notes from google keep“… drum rolllllllll.. you can’t!!! F*CK YOU GOOGLE!!!
From #onwardmobility to nowardmobility
To say I am disappointed is an understatement. It looks like it’s time to let go. I have been a fan of the brand for the longest time. It does not escape me that I have been hypocritical towards #iSheepers when I have been the same for the BlackBerry brand. I will ride out my #KEY2 until it’s last breath and then I will move on to the pixel I have just gathering dust right now.
I am not a fan of either Android or Apple. When BlackBerry decided to embrace the android OS there wasn’t much of a decision to make. It allowed me to continue to have and use the BlackBerry phone. Both companies have their faults and short comings. Both in many ways are hypocritical of things… but I refuse to go the way of Apple on principle. They push this narrative that they are all about inclusivity yet their ecosystem is completely closed. They refuse to open iMessage to android admitting that they fear losing people to android. They don’t want to embrace RCS. They talk privacy and maybe it’s a few levels ahead of Google but please. Folks who believe they are far better off with apple are just being naive. Anyway, I am done with my mini apple rant.. Back on track.
On the one hand I guess kudos on onwardmobility for giving it the old boyscout try and try to get a BlackBerry phone out there during difficult times. Big name companies have had it tough over the last few years so imagine a startup. On the other hand though..their PR/social media/communication skills was just plain horrible. Leaving the fanbase hanging for an entire year without a word of anything is not good business practice. Then in a span of a little over a month they went from ‘contrary to popular belief we’re not dead’… to dead. How does that happen? I joke about it but I think Peter ‘if that’s his real name’ Franklin was onwardmobility .. And probably working out of his parents basement. Looks like he went to the school of Anna Delvey. If you know, you know.
BlackBerry on the other hand with their history/reputation in the space could have handled things differently. And this is all on John Chen. For shame. There really isn’t anything else I could add to this.
I don’t regret the BlackBerry logo tattoo but now when someone asks if it is a cat paw… albeit a deformed cat paw, I guess I will just say ‘yes’. Lol
Ps: yes, I actually had someone ask if it is a cat paw.

Clearly he’s a smart man… It’s well documented that Mr Schmidt is currently a blackberry user.. loves the keyboard, what was that?? lol.. of course he does.. and it would only make sense that he’d transition to the Q10.. Here’s to a well adjusted, intelligent man!!!
