iphone keyboard

It's working pretty good but I wish when it made suggestions it would give a few options instead of one at a time.

I'm typing this post from it and haven't had to hit backspace once yet. For me it's a big step up, but Paul I'm sure you'd be frustrated by the non-802.11 wireless speeds. Not too bad though definitely usable.

There is no way to upload files through regular web pages which is pretty annoying. Have to email them or sync to get photos off.

All in all I love it. Those are my only complaints as far as basic functionality go.

Well That Didn't Last Long

I got one. An iPhone. The number I was assigned is awesome. The number is sort of like a full house in poker, if you think about it.

435-5888

or

HELL-888

or

HELL-TUTU

If only it was 666.

iPhone

(e:James) won't let me get an iPhone.

And if ever any of you doubt my infinite awesomeness look upon this entry and weep at your inadequate awesomaninity.

jim writes at 11:18:40 06/29/07 - Comment #20251: (e:James) is awesome and is my favorite person. He let me get one.

His birthday is coming up so I will lavish him with something ridiculous.

jenks writes at 06:32:33 06/29/07 - Comment #20247: if i weren't stuck at fucking work i'd be in line right now... I just tried to order online but the store is down. I may just 'swing by' the att store on transit later on on the crazy chance that they haven't sold out and there's no line. (yeah right).

once again, i have thrown all logic and reason to the wind and am totally caught up in 'gotta have it' fever. Kinda pathetic.

paul writes at 06:06:36 06/29/07 - Comment #20245: I want one so bad but I am stuck in this stupid sprint contract, argh. Who will be the first (e:peep) to get one. I am also waiting to hear the word on tethering?

hodown writes at 03:21:57 06/29/07 - Comment #20242: 1. A beadazzler is something everyone should own, clearly that was a wise purchase.

2. An iphone is also something everyone should own. I say if you don't get your way do like all bitter housewives do and with hold sex and then threaten divorce..

jason writes at 03:12:25 06/29/07 - Comment #20241: Jim, do what everyone else does. Hide cash from your partner. If anyone asks where you got the iPhone say it was a gift.

jim writes at 02:56:56 06/29/07 - Comment #20239: But I need one for research purposes, don't you see?

james writes at 02:55:39 06/29/07 - Comment #20238: (e:Jim) thinks he deserves ever hot damn new gadget on the market.

I am still making payments on that precious beadazzler of yours mister!

iPhone

I've always used a pretty basic cell phone. But now I am thinking it's time to get a real phone.

Paul - are you lining up somewhere on Friday to get yours?

"The only graphic designer with roadies"

A NY mag article about Edward Tufte, who I am completely obsessed with. His books on graphic presentation of information are amazing. His next book is supposed to be crazy - all real life physical stuff, not graphics.

I've been dying to go to one of his day long seminars. Anyone up for a road trip?

Painful Internet

At our new place we are sharing the internet connection of the guys downstairs, but the wireless reception is completely painful. It's totally out for about 5 minutes out of every hour, and the rest of the time is really slow - like dialup slow, plus really long latencies. I just ordered a wireless bridge and am praying that that will be my salvation. If not I'll have to buy them a giant antenna to stick on their access point.

Also speaking of utilities, I've been cursing my morning showers because the water hasn't been very hot, but it turned out (e:james) had just turned the thermostat on the water heater way down. At least that is an easy fix :)
