I've had my brand new iPhone 6 for all of 28 hours now, long enough to charge it, do a couple of restores (one at home for apps, one at work for everything else), and take it out on a long walk this morning ( Read more... )

Before I went away on my most recent trip, I got a bunch of DVDs out of the Cambridge Library (and some from other Minuteman libraries via inter-Library Loan), including:

• The Lost Prince, about Prince John, youngest son of King George V and Queen Mary.

I recently took two long travel legs, BOS-SEA (~6h in the air) and SEA-BOS (~5h15m in the air). Add airport waiting time and a few early mornings on the west coast where I was the only one awake.

Of course I had planned ahead. Before I left I got two DVD sets from the library: Lilies, on the recommendation of my parents (BBC Northern Ireland ( Read more... )

I've had a pretty rough few days for a number of reasons that I don't plan to detail here. Yesterday and today, however, my life was made just a little bit brighter by my iPhone. I've downloaded lots of things from the App Store, but the best (so far) is eReader, an electronic book reader. ckd has a huge online library, so I'm taking advantage of it. ( Read more... )

in addition to not having power at home, I'm having power trouble in my (new) work office. I plugged a power strip into the outlet under my desk only to have the built in surge protector blow. A nasty smell ensued. I got a second power strip and repeated, with the same symptoms ( Read more... )

The freight elevator in our building is dead, so even though tomorrow (June 10) is move day, we may not all be able to move out.

In better news, can I just say drool drool over iPhone 3G?
