Into the Resolute? At Least I’ll Have My iPhone on Hand…
The holidays are finally over. My wine and hors d’ oeuvres hangover has almost subsided and it’s back to the everyday grind…It’ll be another year before I do this again, and I can’t say that I mind. Sometimes normal is just fine by me. It’s weird, but the pressures of owning a business and the constant flow of client work seems to pale in comparison to trekking across the country with Jeremy and the dog in tow to try to see everyone I know from way back when all in one hectic week.
While the travel is always a chore, it is nice to spend that time with my family and friends back in good old Buffalo, NY. Everything is pretty much exactly how I left it, give or take a few new restaurants and shops. And for some reason, no matter how many rings I put on my tree, I’m still a kid when I go home. And kids at Christmas get presents. Mine this year was an iPhone. Sure I wrote that silly post iPhone Accessory: iPressOn Nails back in August, but never had the gaul to chuck my Verizon contract and go get one of my very own. So my Dad did the deed for me (with a bit of seeding on my part).
And so now, I’m back in San Francisco already neck deep in designing and developing everything from Facebook Apps to brochure sites. It’s been a week since my return and still, I’m living out of a suitcase with stacks of unopened snail mail and invoices and estimates to write. But it’s nice to be home. And even if I’m not unpacked yet, 2008 has so far brought me great pleasure in syncing my desktop to my phone.
Cheers to everyone in 2008!

My fingers are still too big to get an iPhone and your press-on iPhone nails haven’t hit the market yet! What are us large-fingered people supposed to do?

guess you’ll just have to grow a “coke nail” and use that to type for now.

Markasaurus, ever heard of a hand transplant?
Imagine the speed and dexterity you could have with one of these!
Or you could try using your thumbs. Surprisingly, it works quite well, especially with some help.
P.S. – Officers of Buffalo International Airport, please forgive the chihuahua vomit at Gate 32.

I am going to have nightmares about hand transplants for weeks. Thanks.
