iPhone Eats Paris Hilton

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Hey, have you heard about this iPhone thing? Apparently it’s a phone and an iPod. Wow. Most shocking to me is the cheap monthly rates for cell service and unlimited data. Verizon charges $40-50/mo. for unlimited data on top of your regular cell service. Too bad AT&T has no coverage in Montana.

But the best thing about the iPhone? It has drowned out the barrage of Paris! jail! Paris! Google calls the match by number of hits per search term:

97,300,000 for iphone
85,100,000 for paris hilton

Thanks iPhone.

The Rock Video

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

We see presidential candidate Mike Gravel in a park by a lake. He stares at the camera for a minute and eleven seconds in an extreme close-up, then turns, picks up a rock, throws it in the lake, and walks away. That’s it. Ã¢â�¡â��

Toothless Monkeys!

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

I took the afternoon off because I had plans that ended up not happening. So I watched Designer//Slash//Model and laughed. “Just saying ‘z-space’ raises your IQ ten points!”

Already?

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

As many people have said, the learning curve in this job is so steep, it is amazing how much I have learned. At the same time, I still feel like I know absolutely nothing. Ã¢â�¡â��

You used to be warped and twisted and hilarious…

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I had my first felony trial. Lost. Very sad because it was very winnable. Don’t know what went wrong. Also sad because so many other new PDs seem to win win win, so what’s going on here? To paraphrase Lloyd Dobler’s Gas&Sip buddy in “Say Anything”: Juries, man.
I did not see the “Sopranos” last night. Tivo is saving it for me. I doubt the rest of the world will be so kind.
Today is apparently Apple’s WWDC keynote event and I did not even know that until five minutes ago. That means nothing to most of you, I’m sure, but to me it’s a sign that I’ve been way too freaking busy lately. I can’t keep up with anything anymore.
I learned about hydraulic oil well fracturing the other night from a Halliburton employee. I was not surprised to learn it’s probably bad for the environment.
