Sacrifices to be addressed to Apple Inc, c/o Steph Jobs, Cupertino...

So...

Despite all the warnings and wise words, and a month of studying how completely ridiculous the whole technological world really is, I pretty much impulse bought an iPhone today. If by impulse buy, you mean agonized over getting one for months and then signed up for a contract that its possible that I wont be able to afford in the future, then yes, yes I did.

But that got me thinking, about how long before this beloved tool of mine will just become a rather expensive paper weight. With the new iPhone software update being delivered to the braying masses shortly, there is of course much speculation about what will actually be supported in this new update, namely the now 3 year old original 2G iPhones.

Twitter user Ven00m sent off an email to Apple Ceo, Steve Jobs, about the new software supporting the older iPhones. Steve "Sith Lord" Jobs replyed with a very curt "Sorry, No".

So not even 3 years after being released, the original iPhone is quietly being shown the backdoor. You dont dump a child after 3 years just because you found something better, but the similar commitment and dedication we seem to put into our iPhones doesnt seem to be given the same respect.

My plan for my phone goes for 24 months, will my precious little shiny baby be hideously outdated in this time? Will it be quietly barred service, get out of here Grandpa and take your paisley suspenders with you? Not got anything against paisley suspenders... Love em.

I just feel Stevie baby is getting a little big for his boots. Its all very well to sit on your ivory tower, wearing your bullet proof turtle neck and having your temples rubbed by cybernetically advanced robotic beings that run purely on your inflated sense of self worth, but with what feels like a new device every 15 minutes, can you cut us some slack Steve?

In my trawling I found this brilliant use of vector art. I love you Alan Rickman.

10 BIT MAYHEM!

Ok this is just about the coolest video ive seen all week.

This guy has put some serious effort into this thing.

This is a website i saw once and have been searching for for a while now. My reasonable faithful Nokia has all but given up the ghost, and ive been completely seduced by the iPhone. The shiny, shiny screen, the limitless (and most of the time useless) apps and the alluring touch screen.

Oh baby, jump into my pocket.

Ill show you the world.

HOWEVER...

I dont want to fork over my ill gotten pennies for a phone that they are just going to update in a couple of hours. Which is where the website comes into play. It gives you a rough idea of when Apple are planning on bringing out a new release in their lines, so you can either buy the new shiny shiny, or save some money on the older model, so that you dont have to spend quite as much time at your $8.75 per hour job stacking tampons at Woolies. Which is always a positive.

Enough of that, lets have little mindless, giggly self indulgence.

This is the trailer for "Scott Pilgrim vs The World", which i am getting faint just thinking about. August cant come quickly enough. Enjoy.

Timidly we crawl into the milky sun...

Well hello, and good evening. Its rather chilly so ill keep it short.

How you have managed to stumble upon this document is really none of my business but i dare say it is my job to keep you amused while you are here.

Ive never really had the attention span to manage a blog but now for uni i have to do 2 per week, so i might as well procrastinate from them and put ma bloggin skills to good use.

I think ill post some little bits and pieces, amusing things that i usually just fill up my facebook page with, photos i take, little... brain musings. But only little ones.

Blog question of the day: Today, i spent 2 hours trying to get a truck started on the side of a busy highway, in the dark. What did you do?
