the morning after the iphone release...
my brother and dad barged into my room at the early hours of 10am when i was still asleep, flipped on the light and shoved the sj mercury in my face. "LOOK!!! iGOT it!!"

I was like, huh?, and saw a huge front page picture of Robert Scoble, Palo Alto Apple store customer #2 holding his son's iPhone (article here):





The evening before, I was jumping up and down my seat at work, watching the iPhone rush online in the SF Apple store, wishing I was there and that I wasn't so silly to have scheduled something that conflicted. Luckily, twenty minutes before, I called Jon who's been standing in line since noon... and he was so gracious to yell over the phone, "the limit is 2 per person.. want me to get you one?!!!" I was ohmygod. now or never, now or never.. YESSS!!!!!

and in response to Scoble's front page attraction, YEAYA!!!!



My friend and I later went to the PA Apple, and the wait wasn't bad at all, about 5-10 minutes to get in, touch the screen, make a call, snap a picture, check out maps.

The Y in the economic equation just got a huge boost this year.

And it was only December 22, 2006 that I was blogging about the packed Apple parking lot :)

Also, I've uploaded a few pictures of Glen Park (stayed overnight last Thursday, got to see the fog and take the g.shuttle), and more of the iPhone and events.
