SumQuodSum

I’ve waited a long, long time in order to make this upgrade; and an expensive one it was! Whew! After dropping $600 on two black iPhone 3GS and assorted accessories (got one for my wife, too), I’ve spent nothing but time playing with the variety of apps I’ve added — playing with what Connor and Megan call “Dad’s new toy.”

As I stated in an earlier post, however, it’s the compactness and the flexibility of this device — the device that will essentially contain my life — that is so appealing to me. The fact that it’s also a phone is consequential. It’s my radio, my iPod, my e-mailbox, my workout journal, my to-do list, my GPS, my Internet, my camera, and more. It will fundamentally change the way I do things. It will fundamentally change the way I live my life.

While I’ve used no app more than Pandora, I have to say the Geocaching app has provided the most fun. I have never Geocached before, but today, the wife, kids, dog and myself headed to Watershed Park, here in Olympia, to find a couple of caches. It was a great time.

I don’t know if I’ll write any more posts about my iPhone. I’m sure at some point something else about the iPhone will fascinate me enough to write about it. Until that time presents itself, I will continue to find new and varied ways in which to use my iPhone — to get the most bang for the buck.
