Wall Street is the kind of girl who asks, “What kind of car do you drive?” She’s like that girl you really like, but can’t have because despite the fact that you’re a genius, an Olympian, and filthy rich, she’s still not impressed.

iPhone Issues Resolved
When we got back from Cali’s bday party, my new iPhone restored and sync’d perfectly. Apple tech support lied! At least the Apple Store people were nice & helpful.

Did I just get a lazy tech support person? Or, did they just go down?

Amazing stuff. They’re the pioneers on this front. This is a glimpse into the crystal ball, kids. I recommend reading back several posts to get a feel for how easy it was to deploy iPads at school vs. netbooks (or laptops).

So many beautiful cars. I’m glad I can’t afford any of them because choosing one or two would be too difficult. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. See me after I win the lottery and I’ll give you a different answer.
