A Tiny Rant

Feet

When I got my new phone, I opted to get a new number. My old number was impossible for me to remember, and the new one was so easy I had it memorized after looking at it once. So that was all good, except now I’m getting all sorts of junk texts from services that the previous number owner had signed up for. Also texts from her friends. So Nikki, if you’re out there, please hop on Facebook or Twitter and tell your friends that your number has changed!

And an instant review:

I ordered a phone case from Seidio, and I LOVE it. It’s fairly rugged, not too bulky, and it’s attractive without being cutesy. And it’s purple. What’s not to like? Their screen protectors are pretty good, too. They’re a little finicky to apply, but if you’re patient, you can get a good seal without any bubbles. Once the case is on, you can’t even tell there’s a screen protector on the phone.

Rain

We had an impressive storm this morning. Tons of rain, tons of lightning, tons of evil clouds, and a respectable amount of wind, too. No tornadoes though, thankfully.

In other news, I am LOVING my new phone. As much as I hate Apple, they make some seriously appealing gadgets. I’ve been coveting an iPhone for a long time, so now that they’re available with Verizon (don’t get me started on the many ways AT&T has pissed me off!), I decided it was time to get one. It has not disappointed. The only down side so far has been installing iTunes on my computer. It may work great on a Mac, but on a Windows machine it is nothing but malware. Other than that, though, it’s been a thoroughly delightful experience. I suspect that the more apps I add, and the more uses I find for it, the more I’ll love it.
