iHopeless

I haven't been blogging lately, but I have a really, really good excuse. Well, I have lot of good excuses. On top of the usual suspects - working, homework, tired - my camera sensor died, and I got irritated with my BlackBerry camera. I can't blog without photos, can I? It IS the whole reason I started in the first place! So for 2 months, I've been researching camera phones. Droid, Google, HTC - all of them. Everyone kept telling me to get the iPhone, but honestly I was resisting joining the crowd. But guess what? If you didn't already read my signature, I became a member of the iPhone cult. Gulp.

Now I'm going to confess my biggest reason for my lack of blogginess: the iPhone keyboard has no directional arrows. Do you know it took me and entire week to discover the little magnifyer thingy? How am I supposed to arrow back to a word I want to change? And I still haven't figured out how to select mutiple words (no shift and scroll??). Another thing - everytime I type "L" I accidentily hit backspace, resulting in interesting iSuggestions from the supposed smart speller. This little touch keyboard has me all flustered! Forget writer's block!

Ohhh - But now I'm addicted to these little apps! Gotta say those apple geeks must have taken classes and learned all about addictive personalities. They nailed it. News, word games, photo apps - yah -I've become a nerd nightmare! And I love making pages and photos bigger and smaller - cool! How did I not have this before?? So iPeeps, yah, I'm totally sucked in. Hopelessly addicted to my new gadget. But now I have to change my signature to read: Sent from my iAddiction. Please excuse iTypos as I no longer have no directional arrows. But look what I can do with my photo apps! How cute is that photo?? Can't do that with a BlackBerry....

Sent from my iPhone, iAddiction thingy

You probably know more about the iPhone than I do and I've had mine since August. I don't blog from mine, though. I need a big keyboard if I'm going to be typing that much.

Two apps to try: LiveCams - live webcam video from around the world.

Are They Really Single? - a database search engine where you can find all sorts of information about your friends and neighbors!
