Extreme tech nerd.

So the above title is what Megan called me in a blogpost not too long ago.  I don’t know why I resisted the tag, but I am about to act like one.  To make a long story short, I am pretty much obsessed with gadgets of all types.  Cell phones happen to be high up on the list.  We just switched providers to att, and I haven’t had Cingular since 2004.  I now own an iPhone.  Yes, July 11 launch status. I thank Megan for putting in 5 hours of the grunt work (100 degrees , 100% humidity).  I stuck it out the last two.  I am OCD about cell phone coverage.  Yes, it’s a reallly weird habit.  att runs out of coverage at mile marker 64 i-65 in Kentucky.  It doesn’t resume until mile marker 70.  Oops.  I spent most of the trip up to Elizabethtown on iPhone Safari browser.  I read the business section of Google News and Washington Post.  I stalked all my friends.  Out of all that nonsense.  I found a jewel.  If you have jailbroken your iphone, there is an amazing new app up: “MxTube”.   It does two things that I find brilliant.  (1) The ability to choose whether you want the best quality youtube mobile.  I know you are asking why this matters?  Well, if you are on att 3g, you get a low grade video.  All I see is a blurred Chris Brown dancing.  You must be on wifi to get the high quality youtube iphone video.  Not anymore. (2) It allows you to download the youtube videos directly to your iPhone for replay as much/little as you want.  This speaks for itself.  Brilliant. Rack Em. Hah.  It’s Sunday night, and trading season begins tomrrow.  9:30 am.
