Well, He’s Done It
Peter bought an iPhone.
He’s been on about it since the damned thing came out, but last week he discovered that, due to a happy error in his spreadsheet, he had more money than he thought. So he kept saying, “Should I buy an iPhone? Should I buy an iPhone?” So there we stood in the Apple Store with him lovingly flipping through the various features for the upteenth time, but when I asked if I should look up how Moveable Type looks on it he told me that there’s a special version of MT just for the iPhone, so I told him he could buy an iPhone.
You see the things I do so I can keep ninme going while we’re in Canada next week?
In other news, we had dim sum for lunch, got rid of a bunch of stuff at the Cancer Store, and went to Ikea for . . . the last of our kitchen doors! So I might actually put up pictures of the whole tale of the Kitchen Remodel Saga.

Peter’s totally lucky. Is it true the I-Phone cures acne? Not that either of you two have ever had a zit in your lives, but you could use it on your friends…

Ew what an awful word to appear on my little blog…
And I dunno. Everyone we know pretty much already has one. Or else they’re total Microsofties and wouldn’t countenance the idea. Or else they just haven’t gotten around to getting around to it. Who knows, really.
Peter thought it wouldn’t work because his .mac account expired but iTunes still uses the old .mac account to login so when you set up your iPhone the first time it tries to contact the account you’ve set up with iTunes which in our case doesn’t work anymore so he was sitting there thinking it would never work so I came over after 20 minutes of him sitting there moping and reading online forums about other people who took 48 hours and more to get theirs running and asked him if he tried to force it to start over and he said “If I could do that wouldn’t I have done it already?” so I quit iTunes for him and restarted it and it worked and then he got mad at me. Heee heeeee.

That’s a lovely Sprite, Half, what I can see of it. Is it yours?

That looks wonderful, Half! Are you going to let us have more?
You could get into movies with a car like that. On British TV there’s nowadays a vogue for nostalgia programmes about doctors or policemen working in picturesque bits of Yorkshire back in the 60s. When they started there were hardly any cars to be seen in these programmes, but the enthusiasts have been in touch with the producers and now there are lots. The thing is, though, that all the cars are in pristine condition which I can assure you they weren’t back in the real 60s. And not a speck of rust to be seen - they just gleam, even when it’s set in a wet winter.
Nostalgia baby-boomer style. Hmmmm.

There were some great old cars in the All Creatures series. Bit older than the 60s, though.

When they first started making the All Creature series there were real 60s cars still on the road. You need at least a 30-year gap for nostalgia to work properly.

That used to be my car I sold it to a nice gent in Quincy Fl who did nice by it. I go visit it at festivals and car parades. I stalk a couple other old cars of mine too. :)
