Anyone who's ever hung out with
(e:paul) in the flesh knows abot his unshakable obsession to his phone. He post losts from it, I think all his photos come from it, and if you've ever seen it you know how complex and intriguing it is. Well to nerds. Like me.
I resisted getting any new phone for a long while and made up in my mind that I wouldn't until one day almost a year ago while hanging out with a few peeps my really old nokia cricket phone took a bath in a dirty puddle. I knew a new phone was inevitable.
To make the phone story short, after a series of serendipitous deals I ended up with the same phone as
(e:paul). His nerdy enthusiasm was infectious I guess.
I didn't know how much use I'd ever get out of something like this, and I'm almost ashamed to say I'm quite possibly more obsesed with it than
(e:paul) is.
I went picture taking with some friends over the weekend and I didn't have a sweet camera, but I had my phone, and I came back with a thing or two worth seeing. I was at that Robert Creeley thing at Hallwalls too, and instead of succumbing to bored um I posted to
(e:strip). Heck, I'm at work and stuck in locked out login land and I'm posting again.
Theres so much more that this phone can do (and has
done). I plan on writing a program for just about anything that I do frequently and a few that will push the margins of fun and/or utility. I crackle with anticipation.
here's some of the pics I took over the weekend. The first one is my friends son. We all get together to nerd it up every once and a while an his son slips further into nerddom every day. Here's the proof (yes he's wearing a Thing costume, no its not Halloween...its Sunday):
Ben Garion: The THING!
HSBC Arena and HSBC Bank
It's totally worth it. Especially if you've had a lifelong Shadowcat obsession, like me.
going to see it tomorrow, we'll have to NERD NERD NERD all about it on Monday
I assume that you knew to stay trough the credits for the payout.
Holy nerdiness. The marketing people for the movie and comic book series must love that kind of dedication.
