iPhone 3G costs you more, not less, than the old one

State of the Art - For iPhone, the ‘New’ Is Relative - NYTimes.com

But the iPhone 3G is not really, as Apple’s Web site puts it, “half the price.” The basic AT&T plan — unlimited Internet and 450 minutes of calling — now costs $70 a month instead of $60 (plus taxes and fees), and comes with no text messages instead of 200. (Adding text messaging costs at least $5 a month more.)

True, iPhone 3G service now matches the plans for AT&T’s other 3G phones; still, by the end of your two-year contract, the iPhone 3G will have cost you more than the old iPhone, not less.

Biking is back




We have decided to start riding again.
Along with the rest of NY apparently.

There are lanes all over Queens and Brooklyn.

Wedding season




We think we are through with weddings for now. There is one in August that we are thinking we dodged. June sure is a good time for a wedding. Though I must say I dont like the travel.

Who reads these things, the paths of influence

It was very lovely to hear from a friend and former colleague that he actually reads this thing. And it reminded me of running into another former colleague who said "thanks for encouraging me to take that apartment". Something I totally forgot. It's very interesting to hear people play back what they remember of you.

Well, it is for me, at least. I somehow forget everything. And everyone else tells me about it.

What do you remember?

Conferenceware

I had the pleasure of participating in a panel at the Personal Democracy Forum conference today. Kind of a politics + online event. Crawling with such people.

I noticed that this is pretty much the one place and time in life that Twitter is of any interest. Wow! Now that it's over, still pretty dull. I guess I just don't get the future :(
