we all know someone who has an iPhone (probably more than just one person). we all also, more than likely, know someone who has dropped or otherwise damaged their iPhone, rendering it useless. then there are the random, my phone just quit working people (like me). all of them were left with the unpleasant and often cost prohibitive prospect of replacing their iPhone, often at full price (if not eligible for an “upgrade”). wouldn’t it be nice to know that if you dropped and shattered the glass on your phone, or someone stole it from you, that you could get a NEW iPhone? take it from me, yeah, it would be nice.

apparently this blog has just gone viral. it’s very funny. the author’s husband talks in his sleep, and she records and posts his utterances each day. here’s the latest post:
“Oompa loompas don’t sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds.”
“Legs time! Everybody get your legs!”
“Get stuck in.”
“Please just walk away. I don’t want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I’ll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!”
“You can stop clapping now if you want. Really. You’ll need your energy for cheering me later. Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhhh.”
[yelled upon waking] “COCK HUNTER!”
Wife’s note: This was all early in the morning. The batteries had run out on the recorder, so it was like the old days, I was furiously typing, trying to keep up. I’m pretty sure that’s the “clapping” that Adam was referring to. So, meanwhile, I’m still typing my brains out, and he’s going “Shhhhhhhh. shhhhhhh.”
Also, just after he shouted “COCK HUNTER” and woke up, he looked at me with fear in his eyes and said, “um, did I just shout cock hunter?” It’s been worrying him ever since.
So, here’s some schmeck for you. My bank and I are “dating” to see if it works out… Let me explain.
I just started a business and went to set up my first business account. The process of setting the account up took a bit longer than I expected (2 hours), and of course at the lunchtime hour, I was hurriedly rushed out saying that I would get a call back when all the information was verified.
So I get the phone call and am told that my account was approved, but all deposit checks are to be held for 30 days until we get to know each other better. I pressed the woman on the phone, “If I am approved by your bank, then why are my deposit checks being held?” The woman on the phone, nervously says, “Well it’s like we are dating and getting to know each other before we really commit.”
Um, I don’t know what bank I have mixed myself up in, but they are acting a bit on the prude side. I sure hope they put out when the 30 days are up.
this is an old viral video. a friend of mine asked me to send it to her again today. of course, i couldn’t resist watching it again. i wonder if this kid has forgiven “Janis” yet???
well, here is a sample of what it can do. shot over the course of a long evening, in low light, and with a lot of background noise. i edited many different short clips together, added the song, and set the recorded audio lower than the song audio, all with the pre-installed software that came with the camera.
