The Monkey

Sorry, n/m...

I'm glad I renewed MobileMe (automatically of course) in May. Great value there. EDIT: I also found the iCloud presentation confusing. And I'm not convinced that it'll just work. It's a great idea, and I hope it does. But it won't.

Yeah, Jim wins.

Bulleit rye.

^This. Will have some later tonight.

Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye

Now smash their windshield.

That FBI Fizz looks damn good.

Vintage 17 yo bourbon.

^ One of the reasons I got my phone and got the hell out of there. Too many tempting goodies around everywhere. But when the 11" MBA clad in iPuppyskin comes out, I'll be the first in line.

Went to the Apple Store where I bought the phone (5th Ave in NYC). Made a Genius Bar appointment. Told the Genius that I had soaked my phone in the pool. Genius informed me that Apple normally charges $199, but has a new initiative whereby it essentially gives iDevice owners a one-time "get out of jail free" repair. Ergo, free iPhone 4 replacement. I'm sure it's a refurb (no box or anything), but free works for me. I guess I'm Steve Jobs's bitch now. With customer service like this, there's really no way I'm buying anything computer/mobile related from any other company until Apple gives me good reason not to, like maybe making iPhone cases out of puppy skins. Maybe.

Will do. Heading there tomorrow.

What do you guys think of this option: Ifixyouri?

Really?

Those are awesome, Jeff.

Thanks, gang. No need for a replacement fund, but the thought is deeply appreciated. Just the cost of doing business. I popped off the cover last night and dried some little spots of water under the battery. Left it open like that in a plastic bag. Of course, during spring cleaning last week, I threw out all the little desiccant bags I had around, and we don't have rice. :facepalm: Will try again tonight.

Thanks, Shelly. It was more just a scare than anything else. He can't swim yet (we really tried teaching him early), so we need to watch him like hawks. He was on a kickboard, but lost it. My wife was in the pool with him, but was farther away than me because she, in her infinite wisdom, decided to swim to the end of the pool. It was just one of those things; I didn't even think, just dived in. He was scared and coughing, but nothing horrible. But Jesus Christ it was terrifying to me.

My iPhone 4 took a dip in the pool this weekend due to my jumping in fully clothed to grab Jack who was in trouble in the deep end. I put it in a bag of rice for 24 hours--no joy. Also, I made a big mistake, I think, by pressing one of the buttons very soon after drying off the phone. It never came on, but it did get very hot. That can't be good. Any suggestions?

Some white burgundy. Angling for a bottle of Grange tonight.

2007 Bodegas El Nido Clio Jumilla Edit: way way too young, but it will be excellent.

Bourbon. Most of the night.

I officially endorse this beer:

This. And beer.

^Agree and ordered.
