a week with the jebusphone
In the past week since I’ve waited on line at the AT&T store in Times Square for and successfully received my iPhone 3G, my activities with said iPhone have included but are not limited to the following:- made bennettz first beatz like this and this with Beatmaker, which is such an cool toy it’ll merit its own post some time
- got bob to make webclip icons for hobo audio and vice stevens, and added them to my home screen
- took some pictures of the Colbert Report set after seeing a taping on Monday (AMAZING).
- while on the walk home, took (blurry) pictures of celebrities like Aaron Eckhardt, Michelle Williams, Morgan Freeman, and the tween-paparazzi outside of the AMC Lincoln Square Theater at the premiere of Batman Returns
- made ringtones for emily, jordan, owen, glen, jon, bob, andy… let me know if you want one of your own (note those linked files are in apple’s ringtone (m4r) format, so you’ll probably have to ctrl-click to download and you’ll probably have to play them in itunes. it’s worth it.)
- deleted hundreds of contacts that were auto-imported from my gmail account (basically everyone that i had ever sent an email to from that account). d’oh.
- tested midomi by humming my best rendition of Oops, I Did It Again and having it being recognized correctly… Midomi is a very, very cool free app that lets you identify songs in a number of ways, from query by humming to holding your iPhone up to the speakers at the bar and having it tell you what song’s currently playing. If only Al Bundy had it.
- made my girlfriend jealous and resent my love for technology always and forever even more
- made my boss roll his eyes and forbid me from speaking of the iPhone any more
all of the pictures mentioned above are conveniently tagged with ‘iphone’ on my flickr page.
So I guess you could say my iPhone 3G is’s a pretty cool toy and I may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with it. I’m working on curtailing that obsession, but in the meantime, I’ve got some scrabble to play.
