Blind Sighted
So I'm on the train in NYC. I'm heading from 23rd St Manhattan to Ashley's place in Kew Gardens Qns. I'm plugged in and tuned out, head down, music up and engrossed in my cell (iphone4). It's Jan and the metal pin in my knee is killing me from being on them all day laying bricks w John (yes I was really laying bricks outside in January). Anyways I'm on my way home(ish) just got a seat and we hit the next stop. I don look up as I am preoccupied with my i-device, like so many others. The doors open. The crowd rushes in. The train wasn't so crowded but I notice that some one was really invading my space. So I look up I see a lady. I'm still confused when I see the dog. My initial thought is, "why is there is a dog on the train?" As the lady next to me gets up.
Oh blind > seeing eye >dog! It hits me so I move over to my left giving up the spot on the end. The lady almost sits on me, I caution her and clear the area pulling out my headphones while guiding her to her seat.
This is her reply
"1st of all you could have given up your seat you sound pretty young. And second you decide to move after I've already begun to move"
I didn't reply more than "ok"
That's what I get for listening to Mom and being polite.

iPhone 4 (Part Two)
Iphone4 part 2
July28, 2010
(Youtube video: HTC EVO V iphone4)
So i'm standing on the mile long line that leads to the other mile long line @ the apple store and I'm wondering WTF am I doing here. Oh yes right iphone4, I must have the iphone4. Really i can't afford it and though I don't make it a habit of celebration birthdays, Ma Dukes was rather generous, so it's not on my dime. Waiting on this line however, is on my and someone else's time.
D8 dinner
Can't call other iphone3g battery is dead
But I'm kinda pissed and not really sure how that's going to work out so here I am on this fucking eternal cue trying to ensure I get Something good out of this day.
Who Knew, this would take so long the iPhone4 came out what 2 months ago 3. Whatever million sold "Antennagate" as a deterrent.
Finally 1.5 hours later I have it. My iPhone 4 is in my hands I've got no pics and no music but I've got juice, bars and HD Video a ridiculous screen 5MP camera rear and front facing!
The first thing I attempt is to make the bars disappear..... I can't. I try the so called death grip again and again as I walk from fifth toward lex. Nothing, kewl not like I'm complaining but now I know why the call it the death grip. You have to hold your phone like you're trying to strangle it for a while for the bars begin to drop. WTF Are you kidding me who the fuck holds their phone like that!
The second thing I do I'd try to get in touch with my D8..... Voice mail. WTF.
Birthday dick
I hit CP 4 cruising indulge in a few hot scenarios
My date calls
I scream @ him from 59th to 72
We peace it up and make plans to talk later.
Heading out I get a phone call.
David: "Happy Birthday!"
Me: Hey dude long time no speak!
David: Thanks you're my first received call on my new iPhone 4!
Me: Hello... David, hello?

iPhone 4(Part One)
iPhone4
(Part One)
June 07, 2010
Its june and and every one, in the know, knows 3 things. Schools out for summer, It's gay pride month and June is when Apple traditionally releases their new iphone. I barely even get a chance to blog, translation gloat about my beloved new 64GB 3G iPad when Apple today announced that in one week they will be accepting pre orders for the much awaited and most speculated about and scandalized iPhone, yet, iPhone4.
This is the iPhone that the iPhone was supposed to be.
If I'm gonna maintain my cool kid status At uni Im gonna have to get one! Now! That and the fact that I have an iPhone 3G which will not support one of the most important key features always lacking on the iphone, multi tasking. The crappy 2 megapixel camera that should never have been is less than inadequate is replaced with a 5mp one. Although ip4 sports a 5MP camera it falls behind the new Droid which offers an 8MP camera.
The Camera & FaceTime
The most notable update on this model is a front facing camera with apple's video chat (think ichat mobile) service called FaceTime which for now works over wi FI and only ip4 2 ip4. We can expect that to change soon as Droid phones are expected to do so without restriction very shortly. It's also likely apps from Skype AOL & Yahoo, possibly even google will surface. If the pass Apple's App vetting process which it may not allow these functions. And what will the carriers have to say?
Multitasking
Much like cut and paste, the ever elusive and long awaited multitasking has finally arrived to the ip4. Multitasking won't be available on iphone 3G only 3GS
iPhone OS4. All these features you can expect will eventually find their way to the iPad.
Retina Display
Striving to satisfy more than just our basic gripes, Apple has developed a new ultra vivid ultra sharp display dubbed the Retina Display. It boasts a 960x640 resolution and uses the same IPS technology in Apples Cinema Displays. The ipads vide out put is 1024x768. The ip4 has nearly the same amount of pixels squeezed into nearly 1/6 the screen size.
Doesn't it all just make you drool?
That's the idea.
[Update ATT Qualified Customers
New iphone customers are subject to credit check while Current ATT customers are subject to ATT's ambiguous qualified customers. Apparently Only if your contract ends in 2010 will AT&T allow you to upgrade your iPhone. When I learned of this, I immediately checked via their website and regardless of the fact my bill is prepaid and I've maintained a credit on my acc for the last 6 mos., I do not qualify for and iP4 upgrade. :( AT&T failed to give any explanation but simply offered an upgrade to iP3Gs.
I've refrained from writing the big bad brother AT&T article... But I feel several coming on. Im not a huge fan of AT&T, I was a happy Cingular client until well you know, and I bought my phone from Apple, so I payed them a visit. They told me I was good for an two upgrades at discounted rates. :) They'd be happy to sell me an ip4 & activate etc. if they weren't sold out. :( AT&T probably was just being compliant with Apple and hadn't updated their website; until several days after the announcement. Dozy Fuckers]
