Wired published an article posing the question whether it’s possible to live without a cellphone. Assuming you’re not being held hostage in your own home and have resorted to hide in the back of the closet, I would say no, of course not. But based on my monthly billing statements, apparently I can live without the calling portion of owning a mobile phone. The iPhone delivers far beyond convention phone-to-phone conversations and for me that has equated to having bragging rights in what the device can do.
Last month, I utilized only 55 minutes of 450 that are alloted to me on a monthly basis and that’s not including my rollover minutes which currently stand at 2,844. Total data transfer was 280MB and text messages was insane, which is why I pay an additional $10 to extend my limit of 200. It seems that my experience with the iPhone has more to do with my online presence by updating Twitter status, Facebook, Tumblr, etc, than having actual calls. Pretty interesting.
While we bathed our dog in the backyard this morning, Vanessa noticed we have a grape tree growing in a corner. Not sure if they’re actually edible so instead, I settle with just photographing them. (via jorgeq)

There’s been times when I’ve borrowed a friend’s iPod and enjoyed some of their eclectic taste so I would resort to writing down each song and artist. Now you can avoid all that manual work with miShare. It’s a smart little gadget for sharing files and playlists between iPods. No computer or cable is needed, and it’s super easy to use. Just attach the source and target iPods and press miShare’s big button to start the transfer.
