WTF Familymap?

AbulPhone Travels

The above is apparently everywhere I have gone with my phone since July 15th of last year. Click on it for a larger version.

I know some people are pissed at the fact something like iPhone Tracker exists and that Apple set things up on the phone in such a way that this was possible and did it without warning anybody that their phone was keeping this log by default.

But I think it is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a few months! Great stuff!

Although, yeah, I guess there should be an option to turn it off. But I hope they don’t remove it. I like this feature! It would be even better if it was full GPS tracking and not just cell towers, but you know, one step at a time!

First Scuffs

So yesterday I thought my new iPhone 4 was in my pocket. In fact it was on my lap. So when I got out of my car it fell onto the pavement in my driveway. It was not unscathed.

Just some small scuffs in the metal and a tiny chip on the edge of the glass in one spot. Very minor. If you were not looking carefully you would never notice. And even then you would note that the cosmetic defects were tiny and trivial.

Nonetheless these are the first blemishes on my shiny new iPhone. And as always the first time this happens with new gadgets it makes me sad.

But I guess it means it is truly mine now. :-)
