I’m at the airport right now, waiting for my friend Matt to arrive. I have been waiting for a long time. I mistakenly assumed that it would take me 2 hours to get to the airport, what with the scourge that is LA rush hour traffic. What I did not recognize was that people are not going in the direction of the airport during rush hour. So my 2 hour trip took me 35 minutes. Matt’s plane is 40 minutes late, which means that I technically just added 5 minutes to my life. I think. I’m not really into math.

This is the 1st post I’ve ever written on my phone, interestingly, even though I’ve had the iPhone for about 6 months. I am what is known in the industry as an “early adopter”. The network is slow and the input device is hopelessly flawed, but what do I want? I’m blogging from my phone. Can you imagine? The future is here! The future is slow and hopelessly flawed, but it’s here!

I was at a bar in LA with my college friends Shea and Drew the other day, and we were all poking around on our iPhones, because of course everyone in LA has iPhones. Not only that, but we also frequently have conversations about what our iPhones mean to us. I thought I would be ribald and said, “It’s really nice when I’m taking a shit.” Without hesitation, Shea replied, “Dude, the iPhone has revolutionized the act of taking a shit.” Are you reading this, Jobs? I smell ad campaign!

And there! Thanks to this slow-ass phone, I have just managed to waste half an hour!
