Learning by Blogging

In retrospect; Using “preteen” in the title of a blog post wasn’t the smartest decision I’ve ever made. Amount of incoming spam comments has increased by a significant amount. Oh well, good thing Akismet is a wonderful creation.

And to all you crazy russian spambots; No, good Sirs, I haven’t got the slightest clue of how much money you guys should spend on birthday presents for your daughters. Good luck, though.

Finally Done!

The design of the current thomasaj.com is finally done. Just some 18 months after launch. Not too shabby. I’d been thinking about replacing that green thingy I had pretty much every day since I first laid my eyes on it. I just didn’t know what to put there. That was until Trine drew me this one night. It’s way more fitting. Hopefully, that’s not how she sees me everyday, but it sure is a more fitting picture for this blog of mine. I use this place to vent. God knows I need it.

Also, we’ve gotten a new hobby. Goldfish! Meet Dizzy and Little Red Riding Hood. They are awesome. However, I predict this hobby will grow into an expensive one. Goldfish are cool.

This is just a little heads up to let the millions of daily visitors to my site know that I’m still alive. I also predict an increase in number of posts in the following weeks and months. So please stay tuned. And thanks alot for dropping by, you’re great. (if you just can’t get enough of me and want to follow my every move, I suggest following me on twitter)

Thanks!

Sadly, there’s been yet another blogging drought from yours truly. It has its reasons however, but hopefully things will pick up again now. (read:workwork)

In an earlier post I asked for some help and advice on buying a new phone. And boy, did you guys deliver. I got some really helpful and insightful comments in the post itself, and even a couple of e-mails. This is me thanking you. Thanks.

As I’m sure some of you now know the phone of choice ended up to be the iPhone. Yes, the iPhone. I have to admit that I’ve been a member of the many, many apple ‘haters’ around the internets (iSheep) for a while, but as Bjørn said in a comment, the iPhone is years ahead of anything I’ve ever tried.

The pros are simply too many to write about, but the app store is a stroke of genius. I can’t imagine having a phone without that option. Thankfully, it seems the competition are catching up to apple with their own stores.

There are a couple of drawbacks with the phone however, battery capacity being a major one.

After one month use I am as satisfied as I can be. Simply the best phone I’ve ever used. Perhaps some day I’ll write something more in-depth about my experiences with it. Don’t hold your breath, though. Thanks again.

Written and published using the WordPress app on the iPhone. (it sadly lacks any decent form of using HTML-tags, so pardon the lack of proper formatting)
