Note to self.. only use iphone for blogging when absolutely necessary…

I have to confess.. I have developed a serious addiction over the past month. I’m deeply. heavily and truly addicted to my iPhone. After so many years of resisting on the grounds that I ‘wasn’t one of those people‘, I finally caved in and got one and now , i’m sad to admit, I’m among the worst of ‘those people’. The thing is always on my person.. I sleep next to it.. I work next to it.. I nearly couldn’t enjoy my lunch today because I’d left it behind on my desk. It’s so many things to me… it’s my communications link, it’s my source of information and news, it’s a toy when I’m bored… and it’s even an able partner in building new things. It’ all those things.. but, I’m afraid to say, it’s no true friend to me. Not at all.. In fact.. it’s fancy word recognition capabilities seem to be focused on on garbling all of my communications with the outside world.
This morning I went back and tried to read my blog post from last night. All the words were spelled correctly.. but they weren’t the words I’d been thinking. Even Diane commented that I was particularly incoherent. Now, you must understand that even though I love reading books, I’m not that good at reading words. Things like sign and sing look identical to me (had to stare at that just to type it) around is aroudn. like often comes out like lkie . Some comes out as soem sometimes. The iphone in it’s efforts to correct me is launching me into completely different parts of the semantic plane. I used to make fun of the stuff at http://damnyouautocorrect.com/ but thats before I became … i became… ONE OF THEM!!!!!!

nite all, nite sam
