Today was good, tomorrow should be even better
You know what I've decided the best thing about the iPhone is? The internet capability. Sure, it's a great phone and does all kinds of other neat phone-like things (except games, which is the one place that I feel it lets me down), the ability to just pull up any website I want and browse without restriction is incredible.
Take an example from today. I was walking down to the corner shop near the school, as we're allowed to do, with a bunch of my friends. One started talking about his WoW guild* and how everyone hated one particular person, who had recently posted a hilarious photo of themselves on the forums which he wanted to show us so we could mock it.
Ordinarily, this would mean going through the arduous task of waiting until we were back at school with our junk food, going into the common room kitchen, plugging in my USB flash drive, running the browser that lets us get past the filters and then waiting while the page loaded.
Ordinarily.
But, as soon as he started mentioning this possibility, I simply took out my iPhone, punched in the URL and bingo, we were laughing our heads off at some fat and angry-looking Canadian guy that one of us knew from an MMO. If you can think of a better use for instant internet access, then I tip my hat to you, good sir.
So that's my day, so far. There's only half an hour of it left and I intend to spend that doing several things. These are, in rough order of descending importance, Computing revision, Maths homework and Physics homework. The first is the most important simply because Computing is first lesson tomorrow. The latter two are a bit more flexible, though perhaps more important to me personally, since if I can get them done, then I have the whole of tomorrow afternoon off.
And then I come home to play Super Mario Galaxy and watch a multi-Doctor mini-episode of Doctor Who (in the name of charity and all, too).
Tomorrow's going to be awesome. And it starts in 25 minutes... I'm going to post this now, apologies for the brevity.
*Note: anytime I say “a bunch of my friends” you can pretty much just substitute it with “a bunch of geeks” and it still means the same thing.
