On an unrelated note, I have purchased my first iPhone/Smartphone. Used and an old model. Word on the streets is most volunteers have some sort of reception and can actually use apps on iPhones in select locations in Madagascar. I never imagined I'd be learning how to use My-First-Smartphone just before Peace Corps service in Africa. This is what I'm using now... it sucks but I'm used to it.

Yes, mine actually says Cingular (Source)

I've been told your first iphone will change your life. This, compounded with the fact that my introverted self is moving all alone to Madagascar with a bunch of new people across an ocean, must definitely mean... more daily facebook updates in real time all the time all day all week all year every five seconds via iPhone baby!

Happy New Year to you, my dear reader.

Outtie.
