iPhone Gripe

My biggest gripe with the iPhone so far: no group SMS.

I cannot add more than one person as the recipient of an SMS message. This seems like a serious (software) design flaw, because one of my major uses of texting is group texts. You also cannot cut/paste, which means that if I want to send the same text to multiple people, I need to type it again and again.

What I need now is some sort of reverse twitter/dodgeball, where I can select people to push messages to instead of them subscribing to it.

July 4th

I spent a very lazy Independence Day sitting around the park, sitting around a pool, taking a nap, and then watching the fireworks on a roof.

But I did manage to get some pictures. Also on picasaweb.

Designer business cards

Not of the everyday variety.

Although I think this one could be dangerous.

I've always wanted to make a business card with just one word on it, a word that you know, when googled, will turn up your site as the #1 result. But I guess that's hard to guarantee.

iPhone first impressions

Works pretty good, except when EDGE goes down (like it did for most of today). Then 6 out of the 16 buttons pretty much become useless (YouTube, stocks, maps, weather, mail, and safari).

The interface is slick, and the touch screen is better than I imagined. Typing is OK, but not necessarily faster than the normal keypad with T9. I really wish that they could put some punctuation in with the letter keypad (rather than with the numbers and symbols).

NO GAMES!!!

Only webapps for addon apps is lame.

Bluetooth can only be paired with a headset (no stereo output, or file transfer).

Browsing on EDGE is like dialup (so 1997), but probably saves a lot of battery power.

Smudges on the screen really show when in direct sunlight.

Camera is meh, no video.

The freeze

Seattle freeze, now in YouTube form.
