...pics from NY
NY City again this past weekend. My friend Amy got married and I got to hang out with Troy and Carensa some which was really fun.
Umm...wtf!? There was a huge line of people waiting to get into this pet store...
Mmm...pizza in NY = the best jerry...
Times Square at midnight...still tons of people!
Not again...
We went to a John (V.I.) Lennon art exhibit. I wasn't allowed to take any pics after this. There were some very naughty paintings of Yoko and some very cool lyric sheets...
Joe and Amy got married in some really famous huge church. In a pic above you can see people lined up for some jesus bread as I watch awkwardly...
Manhattan band!
Kate showed me this building with a house on top! She lives in the lower-east side near Tom Cruise.
The Lennon exhibit bathroom had an awesome mirror for some reason...

...going to New York this weekend
My friend Amy is getting married. I figured this out kinda last minute :) I'll be staying at Troy and Carensa's place. Bus rides are pretty decently priced, especially if you book well in advance...

...new phone number
So I have a new phone number. It's local to my new Boston area digs. Shoot me an email if you want to call me :)
...3G
My painful iphone 3g experience:
So I get to the mall where the apple store is in at 7:30 and get in line. There's about 40 people ahead of me so I feel pretty good. About 20 minutes later someone mentions that this is actually the AT&T store line and that the Apple store line is on the other side of the mall...oh great. Well It's 10 minutes until launch so I figure the AT&T has to have like 100 or so....asking the AT&T how many units they have in stock is about as useful as talking to a wall - he's "not sure". At about 8:45, the employees come to the line and announce that they are all sold out...they had 16 total 16 gig iphones and didn't tell everyone in line.
Now I goto the Apple store line which seems to have about 300-400 people waiting. The line is moving at a decent clip until it hits 9 AM Eastern time at which it stops moving. It turns out that every time a new time zone came online the activation and/or itunes servers failed. It took about 20-25 mins to get moving again but this time much more slowly. When 11:00 AM hit, noone moved for an hour+.
The line continued to move really slowly for another hour, then picked up. I ended up getting mine at 1:30 PM after 5 hours in line :(
My quick impression: It's a neat little device, but not worth it if you already have a first gen iphone....and it still doesn't get signal in my bedroom! Also, syncing is a pain in the ass...why can't I sync to firefox bookmarks or my thunderbird address book?
