This is my blog-within-a-blog… I’m trying to keep the homepage relatively clutter-free, so this is where to look for occasional updates and iPhone-related posts that have nothing to do with any particular application.
I like iPhone firmware 2.2
Best feature? Pressing the Home button when you’re looking at page (x) of app icons takes you back to page 1! Nice. Constantly scrolling back to the first home screen was really starting to piss me off.

I haven’t gotten my iPhone gloves yet, but yesterday Fedex delivered the iPhone clock radio I ordered from the online Apple store last week. I could have gone to the Apple store in Chicago and paid exactly the same price ($78 + tax) but I was at the store the day before Thanksgiving, ie: the [...]

Winter’s pretty much here and I’m already sick of pulling off a glove to use my damn iPhone! So I did a quick search and found Freehands. Apparently these gloves were featured on the Today Show but I can’t fucking stand Kathie Lee Gifford so it’s no wonder I didn’t see it. Plus I’m never, [...]
