A hundred hours of gameplay!

New locations to explore!

A whole new world to discover!

Yes, it probably isn't the best idea ever. What else will keep me sane during my, er... intense study period, though?

A really common question that you usually get asked in job interviews is "why do you want to become [whatever position you're applying for]".

A while ago I got asked the same question. My answer? "Because I couldn't become a Pokemon master".

Some people have Admiral Ackbar on their desk at work. Some people have pictures of their family, and/or loved ones.

Me? I've got my very own Pikachu.

Those of you that know me personally will know what the significance (completely made up or otherwise) of the above screenshot is.

Those of you that don't... Well...

Time spent downloading iTunes: 2, maybe 3 minutes.
Time spent actually using iTunes: every day? At a guess, about 15 minutes.

Appreciation from a girl I've had a thing for for a very long time now?

Priceless.

No really, for the "biggest product launch in history", I don't think this sign is big enough.

Just cleaning out some old-but-maybe-interesting-to-someone pics from the ol' iPhone camera roll...

With regards to the above photo - 10c refund now? Really?

I'm not saying that 10c is a whole heap in the grand scheme of things, but it's still a 100% increase over the old refund.

Also, apologies for the craptacular pic - the iPhone 3G doesn't have autofocus, and no macro mode to speak of either.

I await the next-gen iPhone with bated breath.

Above: screenshot of playlist when using Droid Sans as a system font.
Below: screenshot of playlist when using the standard iPhone typeface (Helvetica, I think?).

Now, I'm no typographer, but even I can tell that Droid Sans is that little bit easier to read, that little bit more _fun_ than Helvetica. It's a little like arranging your room just the way you want it, so that your time spent in there is all the more enjoyable.

Okay, maybe quite not like that, but it's fairly similar.

I've been Droid-sans less for about a month or so now, ever since that iPhone developer preview came out. While I don't regret the jump (losing a whole lot of jailbreak-goodness in the process), there are certainly things which I wish Apple would implement (customisable SMS ringtones and bluetooth file transfer being at the top of that particular list), especially seeing as we're now at the fourth iteration of the iPhone OS so far.

Droid sans was very very slick. It made something great that much better, and in this day and age, isn't that what it's all about?

Ha! Awesome.

I'd be genuinely interested to know how well this actually works, though - my guess is it won't replace a HarmonyOne anytime soon.

Tried to Instapaper a link a while back, and it turns out the link itself was HUGGGGE.

Well, according to Tweetie (now Twitter for iPhone), anyway.
