POMOPHOBE

So, in the history of this blog, you’ll see that I have had a fairly long history of having different handsets. I’ve had 5 since January 2008.

A motorola v3 razor, a Nokia 6275i, to an HTC S640 running Windows Mobile 6.0. And the to a Blackberry Curve 8330, to an HTC Touch Diamond running Windows Mobile 6. To a Blackberry Pearl 8100.

Now, I am a Gadget whore… I have no worries about saying that all. I know I am. The reason why I tried the HTC and Blackberry devices was to attempt to replace my iPod touch an condense the amount of devices I was carrying. I thought I could stop carrying my Touch, I would have a decent media playing mobile phone with some data capabilities then I would he set…

Nope, I carried my iPod Touch still because for one reason or other the smartphones didn’t have a fully functional feature set. Media playing capabilities on any of the models were terible. The apps, the email clients and cameras ha really pathetic implimentatipn of one thing or another. While the Blackberry’s were better all around than the WinMo phones, the handsets were just too uneven. The messaging client in Blackberry’s are great. Best feature, but that was about it fir me. The native browser, media software and UI were greatly imbalanced when compared to that messaging feature. The hardware was pretty kick ass. But that’s it.

The HTC WinMo phones were clumsy, poorly designed pieces of shit. And the bad part is there’s so little real product integration between XP/Vista and WinMo. It’s terrible. An the user has to rely on third party UI Skins and app to replace all of WinMo’s core features and to fix all of the bugs. It’s awful.

So that brings me back to my first gen iPod Touch… Over and over again.

Which has now lead me to my first iPhone. The 16GB iPhone 3Gs… And let me tell you… It’s fucking night and day.

While they’re updating the OS with pretty much standard features for other phones… The key part is… Apple isn’t doing it like other phones. They want to do it right. The MMS, video, copy & paste and other new features… While they’ve been around a while they haven’t been dine like this before. The camera, even smaller mp range than some cameras, shoots sharper images. The video shoots crisp and clean, well compressed 30 frames per second video. Each app fetures social network integration to a scale and level the other brands just don’t understand. The UI, the messaging and email clients are great and the browser is the best in the mobile market place hands down.

So everyone can claim that the phone is over-hyped, or overrated… It’s not though… It’s a divinely crafts user experience in a really exceptionally built feature handset. And it’s easy to see why it’s the benchmark fir the industry now. Everything works in a thoughtful and seamless way. Haters can hate on… The iPhone kills everything out there today. The physical construction the UI, core features and such… Best product out there.

When someone is in treatment fo Sleep apnea and/or insomnia, when that treament is effective for a while, you forget what it felt like waking up before the treament. Today, I got a really big reminder… Ugh, it felt like I’d been fighting all night and someone gave me that hard Houdini gut shot this morning. Ouch. My mouth tastes like sludge and I took me about a 1/2 hour to get my head clear enough to write a single email.

The positive in this is that I know how effective the treatment is and I just got to see the physical change from before and after in a way. Which is cool… But, I’m late for work.

5:50 am and I’m on the first subway of the day. I am a slut. I’m on my way to try and get an iPhone. And I’m about to line up to be the first through the Dior. I’m sure there are others doing the same and I’m curious to see just how many.

What I hate though… Is Rogers, knowing the demand for the iPhone they’re only stocking two or three units in most locations. How fucking retarded are they and why are they such cunts?

Very few other choices.

I’ve been on the phone for over an hour prepping an account. Apparently the wireless CS system is being upgraded… Shouldn’t this have been done maybe earlier than iPhone release day?

I’ve been at the Eatons Center since 6:30am… Such a fucking loser.

So first night if drinking without smoking and I’ll admit it was tough. Fuck yeah!

But
Mother fucker I made that shit. So fuck
Cigarettes.

Boom, I just fucked your shit up. Yeah, exactly. Fuck you and your stepdaughter… Yep, oh wait I did that in 2001! Fuck yeah mother fucker!

And, their telephone system hung up on me four times now. Not a good start Rogers… Not a good start.

“We’re sorry, Rogers.com is experiencing technical difficulties and is currently unavailable. During this time, you may be unable to purchase products or perform self-service transactions. Please try again later.”

Apparently, I am unable to service myself.

I have no phone, and my phone number has changed. Check your email for the new one and other information.

If you have my old number and need the new and did not get an email… Message me.

A Film I worked on is screening soon… Here’s a write up from the Directors/Producers.

Many many moons ago, we went out into the woods to don antiquated military paraphernalia, fire guns at each other, and try our best to make a little movie. Almost two years later, that movie is on the brink of being complete, and though it may be little (it clocks in at a whopping six minutes), we’re rather proud of the thing. Its name is ‘Point of Light,’ and it may just rock your world.

So in the name of having your world rocked, why not skip by the Cryptic Canvas Gallery on July 23rd, after work (or post afternoon nap, depending on who you are), watch a movie, and have a drink to celebrate with us? In true scumbag artist style, we’ll have a hat for you to toss your pennies in, but don’t feel like you need to unless you like the film. It’s a pay if you like it kinda situation.

Come one, come all. Bring a friend or leave your boyfriend at home. It’s really just another excuse for us all to see each other – in this case, at a cool little downtown gallery, tucked away just north of King St.

Those who can’t make it will be exiled from our love forever. But we’ll probably be bringing it to a living room near them later in the summer.

We hope you’re all well, enjoying the sun and the recession, and that we have the pleasure of your charming company on the 23rd.

Word to all your mothers,

Paul & Steve

Should the Finance Minister Resign? Yes. So should the Prime Minister. The honourable thing to do is fall on your sword, especially after attacking opposition parties during the election for expressing their concerns about building an infrastructure to prepare for a recession.

Flaherty should quit, because he’s failed to delivery any of the deficit money to any of the Roads and Bridges and other building projects that were intended to create jobs and ease the burden on Employment Insurance, instead, they’ve tied that money up, while pumping a futile amount into the auto sector, sparing a few jobs temporarily while that industry continues to fail.

It’s disturbing to think that the Conservatives only back in December were suspending parliament after their first budget presentation… Imagine if that budget had of been passed, what dire shape people and our industries would have been in back then. We have to remember that instead of addressing the concerns of Canadians, the Conservatives tabled a budget that had no spending into any infrastructure projects and programs, remember that budget they put forward in October? I do. And, the guy that proposed that budget wrote the January budget, but only after his boss had to suspend government so they could take a month off to think about how to write a proper budget.

And, they didn’t… But the Liberals, in a move to save face installed their new Caesar and stopped fighting for Canadians. They let this budget pass without any real argument, all they did was say “We’ll be watching you…” and then gave Harper and Flaherty the stink eye. And, that’s all they’ve been doing since. I’ve seen some criticism in some forums about Layton… “What has Layton done?” Or, “Imagine if Layton were running the show?”

I think that’s the prettiest picture we as Canadians could hope for.

We’re at an intense paradigm shift culturally, but more so economically. And, it’s abundantly clear that the old guard of the Liberals and the Conservatives are unequipped to start establishing an organized and professional approach to evolving with our culture. The best bet they had was Stephen Dion, and we saw what happened to him.

Instead, of a progressive and aggressive social and economic restructuring we’re stuck with old whities standing by the Colonialist standards and postmodern excesses. Bloated credit and lending standards, non-renewable resources and an exploitive “free” market, pursuing deregulation like a horny teen at a semi-formal. Giving money away to dying industries with impractical and failed business models. We have a Buffalo Government running cliffside with us behind them.

So, due to severe incompetence Finance Minister Joe Flaherty and Stephen Harper should resign office.

Three Words for you to Google… The Peter Principle.

So, I’ve redone POMOPHOBE.COM. I don’t really see the need to have a blog on my main page… Not yet anyway. So my main page is my portfolio, the Blog Page is LOG.POMOPHOBE.COM.

Just so we’re all clear on that.
