Sidebar intro: So I've taken on a new challenge: blog more! And with the help of www.plinky.com I actually feel like it will be possible to blog a lot more often than I was. So my goal is one blog a week. Can I do it? Of course! Let's see what happens!
My number 1 vice has to be my iPhone. I didn't think of it as one until I was talking to one of my Aunties about how much I pay a month for my plan… she responded with something along the lines of "well, I guess that's your indulgence then, some people drink or smoke, you have your iPhone!"
Seriously though, I love my iPhone and can't wait to get the new iPhone 4. I started with it because I wanted to streamline my life, to be able to carry 1 device instead of 3 (palm pilot, cell phone, ipod). And it has done exactly that. I am way less likely to miss appointments, miss calls (I never used to hear my phone ring when I was in transit because I was always listening to my iPod!), and way more likely to connect with people.
I don't think I'd ever quit it at this point, it just makes my life so much smoother, and more social as well. Some might say that technology separates people, but I beg to differ. It's technology that brings me together with my friends and family, when I see via facebook that a friend has the day off and is looking for something to do, or when I discover a common passion for cooking between myself and a coworker via twitter, or when I read the blog of my sister who is biking the coastal highway between Vancouver, BC and Mexico.
I will defend my iPhone vice to the end! It's not such a bad habit really, things could be much worse I'm sure!
how’s the once a week coming along? xo ~g
