$200 Refund on iPhone 3Gs?

I just received an e-mail (excerpt below) that looks to me that I will be receiving a $200 refund on my iPhone 3Gs pre-order from Apple. I originally paid $399 plus taxes and fees since I am one year into my two year contract. Then, at 5:54 PM EST, I get this e-mail [...]

iPhone Upgrade Troubles Already

It’s 2 days before I’m supposed to receive my new iPhone 3Gs and things have already started going haywire at AT&T and Apple. I noticed around 9:45 this morning that I had no 3G (or Edge) data connectivity here in downtown Chattanooga. I got on and checked my account from the wireless.att.com site [...]

My iPhone App Selection

Just to put this out there, I am posting the collection of iPhone apps that I use on a fairly regular (or sometimes not-so-regular) basis. There are 4 pages of apps. I’ll tackle one page at a time. And, yes, I realize the new iPhone OS 3.0 is due out in less [...]

Here’s a new one.

Sickness Part 2

I think we’re slowly getting over our diseases. I’m at work today, but couldn’t each much at lunch. It’ll probably take me a week to recover to normal eating habits…whatever those are. While the ear infections were clearing up, they really screwed with my equilibrium and caused me to be very dizzy [...]

In sickness and in health…

Amy and I have thoroughly tested this vow in the past 6 months (and then some!)…
It all started around Thanksgiving 2007. I got pretty sick to my stomach. Lots of severe nausea that lasted for days. Leading up to this, I had been experiencing worsening acid reflux, but I tended to it [...]
