Ah, technology.

You know, I didn't think getting a smartphone was going to make that much difference to me personally. I thought, "Well, I already have an iPod touch and a phone that I can text people on, and so isn't that what I'd use an iPhone for?" In the past two days I have used: the alarm function, a kitchen timer (set by Siri), the Kindle app (hooray books ( Read more... )

My relationship with my smartphone is more mixed, because I know using it frequently is terrible for my neck, and I suspect reading so much tiny text is why my eyes started getting worse again when we'd thought they stabilized. Also supposedly em radiation from phones reduces sleep quality and we should all go back to alarm clocks. And yet...It's so useful. So fun. >.<

(What shocked me was how much I started using it for photography once I got a smartphone with a decent camera.)

I'm sorry it's been bad for your health.

I don't even really use the camera on mine except for depositing checks, but I gather that other people do!

To be fair, I'm really bad at treating myself ergonomically in general. But I guess I have mixed feelings in general about how much of my time having a smartphone sucks up, even though in other ways it makes life WAY easier (public transport schedules, omg).

If my area was better about having bus-related apps I could see how this would help.

i'm obsessed with marvel puzzle quest /o\ my initial goal was to get a steve but i realized his abilities aren't that great; i'm surprised how useful tony is! :D

That was also my initial goal, but, yeah, I use Tony way more than Steve. Tony and Storm and Thor right now, mostly. Boom boom boom, heavy hitters!

Hey, do you know of any alliances with open spaces? I'm not very good but I'd rather, uh, play with fen than random people.

:DDDD tony's easy to pick up in the recruit too so it wasn't hard to max him out. I LOVE ALL HIS ABILITIES A+++ my usual team consists of some amalgamation of tony / punisher / invisible woman / hulk based primarily on who has the most hp lmao. i'm such a sucker for match 3 games

i do not! I WOULD BE HAPPY TO JOIN YOUR ALLIANCE IF YOU MADE ONE THOUGH???

I would totally make one but I can't think of a clever/awesome/geeky name, alas...
