Yes, it is iDay – the day of the iPhone launch.

Do I want one? Yep. (Why wouldn’t any even slightly geeky individual not want one?)

Do I need one? Nope.

Will I get one? Nope (at least not now).

Do I think this changes everything about cellphones, as has been the general buzz?

Yep.

The one striking thing I note when I read reviews about this product is that the reviews are not about a cellphone, the reviews are about a mobile device that does A, B & C – oh, and you can use it as a phone, as well.

I do think this is a watershed moment in cell phones and all mobile devices; I’ll be interested to see what Apple does next (3G, for example) with this device.

And that’s the key – it’s not a cellphone.

It’s a device. A handheld computer.

Steve Jobs appears to be an overbearing, Type-A asshole controlling freak of a boss, but he seems to have a handle on not only what people want, but – more importantly for sales – on what they should want.

And the innovation – based on existing tech, agreed, but put together in a friendly form – is astounding.

And thanks to the reality-distortion field, Job’s attention to detail, some amazing UI and tech engineers, here is a device everyone wants.

Let’s see how reality plays out now that XX users have the iPhone and begin banging away on it…

I’ve flipped the switch to display my summer theme (CSS) as it’s now summer.

Whoo-hoo!

Can it get more exciting??? I think not…..

Yep, it’s 10pm here.

I have a couple (minimum) of hours of work before hitting the sack.

REMEMBER: If you sleep, the terrorists have won…

YES I’m being facetious…

When I awoke today
Suddenly nothing happened

— Colin Hay, Waiting for my Real Life to Begin

I sought out this song after hearing it on an episode of Scrubs (excellent use of music on this show).

In the show, it was sung by a woman, and I still want a cover of this song by a woman: It just worked better for me than Hay’s (a guy’s) version.

But an excellent song, outstanding Scrubs episode and some poignant lyrics.

Junk e-mail continued to land in mailboxes around the world Thursday, despite the arrest a day earlier of a man described as one of the world’s most prolific spammers.

– Spam flows despite high-profile arrest, MSNBC

I a shocked, shocked to discover that there [are more than more than one spammer] going on [in these tubes].

Like slapping a mosquito. Duh.

OK – it’s a good thing and sends a message, but it will not affect spam in the least bit. Sorry. That’s the reality.
