iPhone did kill the BlogStar

Yes, my iPhone did completely zap any possible incentive to write random thoughts to myself. Nothing is random on the iPhone, it is all busy-busy connecting to the world and being efficient and... well... being consumed by it (I have these scratched initials on my arm, what do they mean: B.T.L.?)

Now that I am now able to efficiently use my time, I've even been more efficient at using the iPhone too, and will only use it in these situations:

• Whilst walking
• Whilst waiting for anything
• Whilst riding in the train
• Whilst conversing with Miss N
• Whilst eating
• When trying to get to sleep (under the covers so I don't wake up any co-inhabitants)
• During an entire argument about anything (non-stop, without raising eyes), mostly arguments about using the iPhone
  

Things I never do:

• Drive and Google
• Answer the Phone
• Not reply to a sarcastic SMS or email
• Read my email whilst commuter crowd hugging (my email is private and would confirm how boring I was)

Things I always do:

• Take a picture of the Gelati in the Gelato Shop - they say: "No take picture, is not allowed." like this one :

• Check my email
• Check my email
• Consider my next Hyperion move
• Google information about any thought I might have
• Did I say check my email?
• Record any meeting or conversation where someone might say: "Silly me."
  

Things my iPhone has yet been able to deliver:

• Everlasting Gobstoppers
• Decent Things to Do list
• Complete Ubiquity
• Complete Enlightenment
• The 2009 Hyperion 6x6 World Championship
  

Major downsides or dis-benefits have been:

• Running into J-Walkers
• Missing my train stop
• Endless arguments about iPhones, and not paying attention
• Phone seems to ring every now and then
• Accidental typo-fixos which have promised interesting things to inappropriate people (No, sir, I will not spoon you - ever, even though it appears I said I would)
• Accidental sending of wrong (but correctly typed) SMS/Email to the very wrong person
• Reading an email SMS thinking it came from someone else, and getting very confused
• Not writing anything to the blog-a-billy-circus

But is it Better-Than-Life? I don't know. Yet. I'll tell you when I get back.
