iDenial: One Man’s Quest for a 3G iPhone
July 11th, 2008 — business, tech, unfortunately
Spamming the new frontier (or, Shame on you, PerfSpot)
July 11th, 2008 — Uncategorized
Three new Twitter follows today. Why? Is my iAngst* that interesting?
No. Twitter spam. And I just spent most of this train ride learning more about it.
The followers were pimping some site that re-directed to something called PerfSpot (to whom I will not link) which I have no idea what it is but it hardly seems perf to me.
*Trademark & patent & other rights pending.
** Whoops. Apparently all the iFunnies are taken.
iDenial & Other Adventures
July 11th, 2008 — salesforce.com, work
Up early, i decided I’d go for an iPhone. It was not to be. Having seen the line at the Apple store on Michigan Ave., I trucked on over to AT&T. The line was much shorter, but they wouldn’t tell us their stock level and they in fact ran out before I got one. Very irritating. So irritating in fact I bothered to write about it somewhere where people might actually read it.
Video rant coming soon. (Sorry, ScooterGirl.)
If you go to that link you’ll notice the interview with the developer. I was in front of him. In addition to the sales tax idea (which is basically a mash up between the iPhone’s GPS and a Sabrix transaction tax engine — and if you look at that link you’ll note it ends in “campaign=70160000000Cg9P”; that’s a salesforce.com campaign ID if I ever saw one — nice!).
The developer’s other idea was tracking the residual value of non-durable consumer goods as part of an individual’s net worth. For example, if you could use Craigslist to convert a blender to $20, shouldn’t that be part of your net worth? Hmmmmm.
In final news, the company — or some photos we placed on Flickr, anyway — were featured on Office Snapshots. Note the beer, pizza and Galaga. I freaking love Galaga. I remember playing Galaga in a laundromat in Idaho Falls, plugging in quarter after quarter. And I have it for the XBox. Mmmmm.
