On my recent silence...

...It's been a heavy year, and after some of the shit that's gone on, I guess I've had a hard time finding my voice again on the blog. After Dad died I really tried to kinda power through and keep blogging, but I wasn't feeling it and have just trailed off.

You'd think with all the recent news (bin Laden killed, stupid Royal Wedding, white iPhone being released to the iPhone zombies) I'd have tons of stuff to bitch about, and you're right. For some reason I just don't feel like whining as much as I used to. I doubt that is news that ruins anyone's day.

Anyway, I don't really have a point here, just kinda coming clean about my lack of Amazing Internet Thoughts. I'm not hanging things up, just trying to get back in the groove or something. In the meantime, I'll keep at it, and I've got some photos and other stuff like that to put up here.

I'm sure the whiny know-it-all will be back before too long. Until then, enjoy the reprieve.

The iPhone, a phone that is a sweet computer but a shitty phone, just got a little shittier in its newest version.

Apparently, the new kickass antennae, which was supposed to solve all the dropped calls, doesn't like to be touched by human hands. The problem is that the antennae is actually, um, part of the case. The part where you grip it while talking or checking your awesome apps. That's gonna cause some problems.

I love Apple's response: "Buy a case, or hold it differently." That Steve Jobs guy is really becoming a dick. Maybe he's still hoping the Lisa is coming back...

Just because it makes me feel good, here's a guy shooting an iPhone with a sniper rifle, in super slo-mo:
