Please stop fucking changing your damn iPod line and making them all kind of suck. Now I am stuck with that dumb little 8 gig postage stamp fucker and what did you do? You just morphed it back to the multi-colored, rectangle, larger capacity one.

Being a faithful Apple product follower I have come to realize and deal with the fact that you put an automatic killswitch into randomly selected products. I have come to terms with that and understand it is how you keep people buying new schwag every year or so. With 8 out of 10 of your products slowly starting to expire after it’s warranty’s expiration date, I have a personal graveyard full of iMacs and iPods, with only one or two troopers surviving the ages.

But please, just stop this yo-yo-ing of going back and forth from mono-color to multi-color and square to rectangle. If ever a consumer were to get motion-sickness, you are definitely testing the possibility by changing your products dimensionality up and down, left and right. It’s like you have a room full of bi-polar market research executives who are vacillating back and forth between Ritalin and Adderall at the sterring wheel. Cut it out.

Thank you.

So I totally just got a new Blackberry Curve and I absolutely love it! I suffer to a great degree from intense gadgetism, a serious condition where I get addicted to small little techy objects with moving parts or ability for electronic personalization/expansion. And this little gizmo is just the kind a thing the afflicted like myself should (but wont) try to avoid.

As if having my laptop isn’t enough, this little doo-hickey can surf the web, sync with my iCal and Address Book, take pictures and videos, send and receive emails (with attachments), do instant messaging, and keep me occupied for hours. And that’s just outta the box! After two days of online research, downloads and installs, and trial and error it can now: post to my Twitter; upload to my Flickr; IM to my AIM and Yahoo; download my rss feeds (through something called Viigo); update my Facebook; “Poynt” [sic] me in the right direction for shopping, movies, and whatever else; Google Map (with GPS) my pedestrian butt to where ever I need to be, and I even upgraded the browser to Opera. And of course, I totally customized the interface. Obviously.

Oh, I kinda wanted the iPhone, but the cost-prohibitive nature of that beast and the low extensibility will put that purchase off for a few years more (i.e. when Verizon catches up). Plus, this thing will be great for my business, whereas the iPhone, so far, might not. At first, Michael was all: “You are on the internets all day in front of your laptop, do you really need it in your pocket?” But after a few minutes of seeing my gizmo glee, guess who ran out and got one of his own? Uh-huh. It’s so much fun harassing him when he’s standing in line at the store by IMing his pants pocket to death.

Yep. I need the internets at my fingertips at all times.

Oh and my sister is visiting from Virginia. (Ain’t that sad? That should be the first thing I said on here, but I’m a tech-a-holic and she understands. I did all my best to refrain from fiddling while in her presence, but funnily enough Mr. Michael could not!)

Viva la Blackberry!
