Guess What I Got! And boy is it fucking wonderful. Really even better than I expected. I've had it for almost 36 hours now and I've probably had it in my hand for 30. The famed App Store is as advertised, there is and app for just about anything (and a surprising amount of good free ones). But I don't have to give you a review of the iPhone, everybody already knows the details. 

The best part is the cool factor, and I'm not afraid to admit that. Its a sleek, shiny, cool piece of technology and pulling it out on the train just fuckin feels great. I know that's my not so inner nerd talking but that's the point. The iPhone can bring the nerd out in all of us. It's like the computers we dreamed about when we were kids having the "wouldn't it be cool if..." conversation. A friend of mine, who's had one for a few months, said last night: "It's like a cult". Well, I'm a true believer. 

In other news....

This Michael Phelps thing bothers me to no end. Talk about a fucking witch hunt. And the problem isn't the sheriff of this hick town, or that that someone took the picture. The problem is this countries draconian Marijuana laws. When is the law going to catch up to logic?  What the kid (he's 23) did is no different than having a beer or smoking a cigarette (those may be worse for you but that's not the point I'm making here). At least 8 people have been arrested and who knows how much damage this could do to their lives, and Phelps could be next. I read that the sheriff really feels that he has no choice, he has evidence that a crime was committed in his jurisdiction and he must act. I don't know if that's true but, why in the hell is this still a crime? Seriously, someone give me one good reason? Actually, I'll settle for any reason at all. I just don't get it. 

Fuck it, I'm going to take a bong hit and play with my iPhone.
