three for the price of dumb


It took me, no joke, a year and two months to realize that my cell phone has Internet-accessing capabilities. It took me another month and a half to realize that it also has photo-emailing capabilities—and that it don't take half-bad pictures, either. Took this one on a walk this evening. I love walks. They give me good ideas. Like, "See if you are using your cell phone to its maximum time-wasting potential." Anyway, it's better than most iPhone shots I've seen, for sure, but even if it was really crappy, wow! Just wow. This is like getting a whole new gadget without getting anything new at all. Finally, this whole refusing-to-read-the-manual thing has paid off. Finally. Although if I figure out later that this thing also has a secret rocket ship feature and/or some keypad shortcut that automatically pays off student loans in full, I'm gonna be pretty mad at myself.

Hey, thanks, I appreciate it!

That's a funny definition-- At Oglethorpe, the "bringing strife" part was played up as the more admirable trait of "perseverance." Ha.
