"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

As you may have heard, forty years ago today human beings first landed on the moon. It was one of the greatest achievements of all time.




I think it's time we went back.

Tech

Richard is a friend of mine.

I want that clearly understood right here up front.

But he recently sent me an e-mail of which the last line read
"Sent from my iPhone".

That's just terrible, he didn't even want an iPhone. I have no idea what possessed him to purchase one. But now he has one and I fear for our relationship. I've known he was something of a technophile for some time now. He has been going on about the Kindle for a while, but he bought an iPhone instead.

Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is pretty, and having the power of the internet in a mobile format is attractive. But damn, buddy! could you be more of a sell out?

An iPhone is so far out there I can't even bring myself to be properly jealous. I keep choking on the idea that you spent $400 on a phone... IT'S A FREAKING PHONE!!

You've already got a laptop, YouTube videos can wait for you to get out of the line at Walmart... You didn't need to go and get a f*cking iPhone.


Tool.
