How I love thee, let me count the ways

1. New second brain. 2nd brain is the term I use for my organizational system. Used to be a digital organizer, then a Palm Pilot (which died). For a few months its been an old school paper calendar and my hand. But no more!!! Let's start with the Calendar:
I can enter all my wonky schedule things, and meetings, and reminders, and its got a fun little scrolly wheel to set the time.
Then there's the memos. No more writing things down on my hand!
Instead of making notes to myself to email someone, I can just do it!!! In fact on Saturday, I emailed mom while we were on the way to reserve our cake!
2. Twitter. I can twitter at WORK! On breaks only of course. Plurk too. Or update my facebook status.
3. Youtube. I can watch youtube videos! Which means whenever there's one I want to show a co-worker but they're on dial up at home, I just load it up on my phone :)
4. My pretty pretty background. Its one of the default ones, but I just think its lovely!

5. The camera. I can take pictures and either send them directly to flickr from my phone, or I can start a tweet and it automatically uploads to tweetpic and puts a link in my tweet for me!
6. Music. I don't even need to put music on it, though it would hold 8 gigs of it. I can stream Pandora or LastFM. Well, Pandora works great, but LastFm's music is a little cloggy on our slower network.
7. Applications. I can instantly find things local to me. Ever have one of those "I don't care, what do you want to eat?" conversations? UrbanSpoon will solve your problems. I also have one that brings up a video of a dog licking glass...

I really do love my phone :) Though I rarely talk on the phone, but basically its a great little pocket PC I can carry around with me anywhere.


Tomorrow, Sam and I are going to get our marriage license!! Just 45 days to go!

ooooh that top pick looks like a lovely pancake pan.

mmmmmmm, I could go for some hot pancakes and syrup and a pretty rose served at its side.


ditti - Some think this is part of a silly nickname for Puff Daddy. Really it's just short term for a simpleton.

Funny, I just got a BlackBerry Storm today! I'm getting prepared for all of the nerdy iPhone vs Storm debates I'll have in the next few months.

Darn it. Now I have another reason to envy you...would you stop that???

I was just wondering how you were enjoying the new phone. Had a conversation with a girl last night about how you Twitter without one of those new fangled phones! Oh, Jimmy Fallon showed some of his "applications" the other night - he has one that looks like you're drinking a glass of beer and one that gives you a daily update of Paul Reiser photos...what will they think of next?

45 days??? Wow! It'll be here before you know it AND we can't wait to see the photos!

If I buy one of those handy dandy do it all phones, will you move in with me until I learn to use it?
I am totally floored at all that little gadget will do..but I don't understand how it can do it..complex for my pea brain!!
There should be a workshop or clinic to teach old dogs new tricks..I'd surely enroll
But I do love your new companion!!~HUGS

LOL @ Haley (me too!)

Your new IPhone is very nice and so handy! I enjoyed seeing you demonstrate the applications. I wouldn't ever get a thing done if I had one of those - - it's too irresistable. :)

Yay!! Congrats on getting a new phone!

Snowboarder just loves his iphone too!

Oh I love my iPod Touch so much. My husband got the iPhone but I love my cell too much to replace it just yet. :)
My background on my iPod is my granddaughter. :D

I also love "ambiance" -a good app (cheap) for the iphone that you can play the sound of rain or birds or machines or city streets... it's what I sleep to! :)
