David: My TV Died

---

As people around the country celebrated the birth of our nation, my television went silently into the dark beyond.

Which is a really stupid way of saying, my TV quit working. All that its 26" cathode ray tube would show was a solid gray.

So sad.

I'm coping.

David: My iPod Engraving

So, I've been pushing off a new iPod purchase until I'd made a final decision regarding the iPhone. Today, I'm ordering an 80 Gig iPod Classic.

I'm engraving it with "S P F C CS MF T".

David: iPhone 3G Just Broke My Heart

---

Since the announcement of the iPhone 3G, I've been hoping to snag one when they come out.

Turns out, if you're not eligible for an upgrade, you can do an "early upgrade", but the price is $200 more than the announced $199 and $299.

Plus, the plans are locked down to certain restrictions that I'm not down with. We have a family plan, but the family option for iPhone assumes two iPhones.

Maybe at some point in the future I'll add a third iPhone line, but I doubt it.

It's an awesome device. It's too bad Apple has let it be mired down by their partnership with AT&T.
