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.

It’s official: I’m booked for Dreamforce 2008. Maybe this year I’ll be able to get the somewhat coveted “blogger” credentials that my boss sported last year.

If you’re going to be there, look me up. Definitely like to meet other SFDC bloggers.

And I could use your help. Go here to suggest a band. Please suggest Modest Mouse. It would make my day if they made it.

I’ll post more details about the who the what and the when as the date gets closer.

See you at Moscone.

So maybe you’re one of the people who combine iPhone usage with a salesforce.com subscription and the need to track travel expenses.  You’ll want to check out Expense2GO.  (Link fodder: iPhone salesforce.com travel expenses.)  It’s by Model Metrics, my employer.  A few of my co-workers have been busy spinning this together for the last little bit.  Nice work.

No, I don’t sport an iPhone.

Yet.

Here are more details. Here are even more details. And here are even yet more details.  And finally if you still want more here’s still more details.

If you’ve been paying attention, you might remember that I did a little Paparazzi Force demo in NYC for a Force.com thing … last month? Yeah — almost a month ago already. Hilariously, the director of public relations — and update apparently the VP of PR — over at Salesforce.com found it today. Emails have been flying around in a generally positive way (fortunately for me).

“We thought this was way too funny!” said one.

“Great example of how to build an app in just a few hours.” said another.

“Genius!” said my boss’s boss.

“Tell me you didn’t get beat up a lot as a kid.” said a co-worker.

Ha! Never underestimate the power of a mildly amusing demo.

So Salesforce.com now supports SAML.  I am unreasonably excited about this.

More on SAML.
