Let’s start off with the amusing stuff.
Lileks does some of the best tweets…
I have to do a video tomorrow on the fact that it’s cold. Next: a guide for coping with the strange inky blackness that follows “day.”
I was reading Geek Soapbox earlier and this made me giggle: Study Finds If You Have an iPhone You’re Nuts! I enjoyed the entire article but the I laughed aloud at this…
I own and adore desperately my iPhone. Without it, I feel uncertain and anxious, as if a very part of me has been unplugged from life and I struggle to maintain focus and balance. It’s utterly ridiculous, but I guess I’m one of the people Strand Consulting is referring to when it declares that iPhone users are delusional.
OMG! I am like a fucking junkie three hours past needing a fix when I do not have my iPhone in my hand. It is fucking ridiculous. It is so bad that I must actually get a “disturbed and distraught” look on my face when I am separated from my iPhone because, Sarah aka Jen’s Keeper at work seems to know what is wrong and says, “You do not have your phone, do you?”
At one point about a month ago we were all down at corporate working on a pretty intense deadline and had walked to the break room to get coffee etc. When we returned to the office we all were piled into and working on a freakin’ briefing I suddenly realized i didn’t have my phone. I was looking everywhere while a coworker was trying to tell me something important. Sarah says, “You fucking cannot find your phone; just do the work I will find it!” she starts walking and dialing the phone, listening for my freakin’ Beyonce All the Single Ladies ring-tone. She returns like a huntress from a safari with big game to prove her might and yes… she was mighty in my eyes!
It is so pathetic that not only can I not imagine my life without my iPhone I cannot remember life BiP (Before iPhone)! How did I function? How did I check my mail 900 times a day? How did I find a Starbucks while driving and desperate for coffee? What is 411 for? I cannot remember! I just open Safari and google what I want and the zip code and voila! There is the results and a number i can click and have my wonderful gadget ask me, “Call number?” Yes yes yes, I say!
All you Apple haters out there can bite my ass and revel in the inferiority of your Windows Mobile 6 crap. Google android? Whatevah! iPhone changed my life! Not sure if it is a curse or a blessing but I am so fucking happy about it, who cares?

i totally agree! i’ve ‘tried’ my friends’ blackberries, and there’s really no comparison. there are issues with coverage, i know — but i have to forgive it. if i can do what i can do on an iphone with the sacrifice of having to re-dial a number every now and again, i’m glad to do it.

I hate phones – you would laugh at the cell phone I have – as I hate phones. There are only 3 groups of people who call me – relatives on a mission to get me to do something, ‘charities’ who want me to donate and of course the freakin debt collectors looking for the goon who had our phone number before us.
If it weren’t for 911 (like that is worth much any more) – and it is bundled into our cell/internet/tv/land line package – I’d dump my cell and the home phone – did I mention I hate phones?
I suppose part of it – I do not go to another place to work all day – so the connection is not that important to me.
And I hate phones. Want a card or a letter (gasp, snail mail) or even an email – I’m your woman. Just don’t sit by the phone waiting for a call.
