If pride is a sin, I’m a sinner. Love my homemade wedge. Plus mine is full of rice, so if I ever have a water-mishap I can rip it open and throw the phone inside to dry it.
Article makes a good point: Users will be upset when their device is no longer supported by the software updates. Though I think it’s fair to point out that those who are getting iPhones are mostly the type who get swept up in bigger is better, latest is greatest mentality and those who are not so tech savvy to endeavor in upgrading their phone will do so because switching devices is so easy on the iPhone. I think you can rely on a 3 or 4 year rotation for most users. The others are not reliant on the L&G, so they don’t care about software updates.
Apple has already established a model with the “No-PPC on Snow Leopard” agenda.
Make way for the new no one expects an upgrade for DOS anymore, even though they bought that once upon a time.
Though cutting the cord on the G1 owners seems pretty soon. Come on! Those people we so excited to get a Google Phone!

Dear cult member,
You can see that I’ve provided you with two new ways to stalk me: LaLa and FourSquare. Just click the links on the right. (RSSers, you’ll need to come visit the site for a moment)
I love both of these sites, but I don’t much know anyone there yet. So I’m just playing in the sandboxes alone. So come and join me, it’s awesome in here!

I wear contacts. And when I go to see a 3D movie, I get the polarized glasses just like everyone else. However, I would like for my optimologist to prescribe me polarized contacts.
If you had polarized contacts, you could interact with the world in a completely different way. Every 2D surface could be brought to greater depth. Advertising would be the thing most noticable. This is a very achieveable future. Let’s make it happen, huh?
James Cameron, I’m looking at you to take point on this one.

Loving this song. Give it a listen. Lyrics provided because they are awesome.
Yeah, when I was only seventeen I could hear the angels whispering So I drove into the woods And wandered aimlessly about Until I heard my mother shouting through the fog It turned out to be the howling of a dog Or a wolf, to be exact The sound sent shivers down my back But I was drawn into the pack and before long They allowed me to join in and sing their song So from the cliffs and highest hills Yeah, we would gladly get our fill Howling endlessly and shrilly at the dawn And I lost the taste for judging right from wrong For my flesh had turned to fur Yeah, and my thoughts they surely were Turned to instinct and obedience to God
You can wear your fur Like a river on fire But you’d better be sure If you’re making God a liar I’m a rattlesnake, babe, I’m like fuel on fire So if you’re gonna get made Don’t be afraid of what you’ve learned
On the day that I turned 23 I was curled up underneath a dogwood tree When suddenly a girl Her skin the color of a pearl She wandered aimlessly, but she didn’t seem to see She was listening for the angels just like me So I stood and looked about I brushed the leaves off of my snout And then I heard my mother shouting through the trees You should have seen that girl go shaky at the knees So I took her by the arm We settled down upon a farm And raised our children up as gently as you please
And now my fur has turned to skin And I’ve been quickly ushered in To a world that, I confess, I do not know But I still dream of running careless through the snow Through the howling winds that blow Across the ancient distant flow To fill our bodies up like water till we know
You can wear your fur Like a river on fire But you’d better be sure If you’re making God a liar I’m a rattlesnake, babe, I’m like fuel on fire So if you’re gonna get made Don’t be afraid of what you’ve learned
Been tweeting a lot so I just added my feed in here, so if my posts seem quick and dirty — they are.

The two issues that I am most encountering on Twitter are that I want to enter contests, without spamming my friends/followers, and that I have dirty tweets that I’m not tweeting because I don’t want all my followers that are “Professional” to associate that sort of deviancy with me, per se.
And that’s the rub: Gotta make a second twitter account to post all the terrible and awesome stuff. Also to filter spam out of my regular feed.
Also: share user name and password with friends for plausable deniability.
