iDon't Have An iPhone.

If there's one thing we love as a culture, it's technology. Granted, there are exceptions to that as with anything else, but generically speaking, we are a society consumed with the latest and greatest technological advancements.

Hello, iPhone.
First: if you don't know what an iPhone is, well, walk down any street with more than five people and chances are, at least one of them have one. That, or in light of the fact that you have access to this blog, I'm willing to guess you have access to Google.
Second: if you have an iPhone, well, to each his own. I have zero qualm with Apple or iAnything; it just isn't my thing when it came down to choosing a phone.

However, the Apple empire is pretty impressive, and the progression of the iPhone is a testament to the power of creative ingenuity and strategic marketing ;).

^ Nothing flashy, but it is kind of interesting considering that the movie trailers they used to advertise were Pirates of the Caribbean and Zoolander. Funny. 2007. Doesn't seem that long ago? Hrm... What gets me the most is not the incessant reliability of an annual release of a better, faster, newer, re-tailored version of this thing. I will also attribute the random and absolutely unnecessary obsession with constant eye contact between a user and their that I witness on a near daily basis to the fact that just about everyone around me has an iPhone.    Today I was a restaurant and saw a girl using an outlet across the room to charge her phone while she was there. I'm totally not judging, it was just funny to watch her cross the room what I would guess had to be at least 24 times to check her Facebook during the time we were both there.    Same scenario a few weeks back, and it was a table full of teenagers sitting silently together at a table glued to their phones. Yeah, I know it's not just an iPhone thing, but it was pretty funny that every one of them had an iPhone. It kind of resembled a test study of some sort, complete with a subject group of teens. It was at least a full five or six minutes before any of them took a breath from phone time to acknowledge the presence of anyone else at the table. I found that sad, but interesting.    I'm not really even sure where I'm going with this one; I think I'm just at the realization that, while everyone around me has an iPhone, I'm still going to stick with the good old Droid ;) I felt like venting. I'm curious but at the same time slightly afraid of what type of technology will be considered a common household name when Sydni is my age. Kinda scary.    *Yawn. It's supposed to rain tonight. That'd be excellent; sleeping is so much better when it's raining :).  [[Almost Friday, wooo!]]   xo | cmd

I'm a Fan of Days Off

Today was one of those coveted days during which I found myself doing many things, but NOT at work. Amen!  :)


iphone 4 | evo 3d



We took our time getting moving, and when we finally did, our first stop was the Sprint store for some new phones. Thank you, annually-expiring contract. Please know, I do absolutely consider myself blessed to have a phone that works, but here's the part where I have to admit I like to have a little fun. I'm all about simplicity in most aspects of my life, but hey, if I'm going to make something complicated, why not carry it around with me all day long, too? Anyway, it was time to upgrade from the his-and-hers Palm Pre's. Joe had his heart set on the iPhone 4, and after a bit of playing around on the display models, said yes to the HTC Evo 4g. Since the Evo was on back-order through our Sprint store, Joe came home with a new phone; I won't get mine until later this week. Oh poor Cori. Jk. I went to Google both of these and found a picture of them sitting side by side. I hadn't seen them like that before; my phone is a brick. Haha.

Anywhoooo..



accidental matching with mo :)
p.s. - nice photobomb, jimmy!



Sydni begged me to take a nap with her once we got home, so I of course obliged without protest. When I woke up, Joe informed me that some of our friends would soon be en route for an evening of football and hanging out. I mean, fall asleep for one second in this house....... :) Just kidding. About an hour or so later, the Babots & the Prescotts rolled in, and we spent the rest of the evening watching football, discussing weird names for children, goofing off with the kids, and laughing hysterically at some of the stupid things we've said and done. Good stuff. This is just one of the bazillion reasons I thank my Lord every night for Towerview. Aaaamen.

We figured out that Joe's new space phone has a camera on both sides, so once the guests were gone, we finished off the night with a mini family photo shoot. I'll start the week off right with a little preview of all that ;)
