Quixotic Bravado by Josh Babetski

• @AprilRox travel lockdown. if your company will fly me out, I’ll bring wing night to the big-D.
• @lilitroy hurrah sweet freedom from the chains of PC.

• Great idea to raise awareness over the FISA mess: http://icanhaz.com/fisaright @barackobama could be getting this $ instead. Oh well.
• @icelander Wing Night tonight @ 915. Suit up!
• @thorpus Only 6 conference calls today? I had that many by lunch. Send the exedrin my way brother.
• Both my 2009 SXSW panel submissions are accepted for the Panel Picker! Prepare for shameless vote soliciting; voting starts on August 8th!

• Spent evening doing research for a project I’m working on. Feeling mildly frustrated and defeated; need to regroup… tomorrow.

• @lilitroy Welcome to Team Mac! Now you need an iPhone to qualify for premium membership.
• @tracibabe caught a baby bird in the house. Frantic voicemail was followed with emailed pictures of her holding it and a “Can we keep it?”
• @JasonCalacanis That was a nice gesture. Can you bag any of the bloggers for Mahalo gigs?

• For once I’m at home and @tracibabe is off at a conference. Weird! She left me a “honey do” list, need to remember that for my next trip.
• Tore through my “honey do” list. Heading out soon for food and supplies for my own project called: “pimp my entertainment center.”

• Just sent out a company-wide email on how to get voicemail via email.
• @graham310 @chipd : Ha Ha! You should have just ordered one at the AT&T store. Get to work! Ohhh…. I should have sent this from my 3G.
• Wish I were attending ComicCon in San Diego. Will be following the geekery from a far.
• Bought into the hype, going to see Dark Knight tonight.

• Playing with Tour Tracker which makes me want to go see a concert. Oh yeah, they’re using MapQuest too. http://tourtracker.com/
• I’m in so many meetings today that I’m in a meeting I don’t need to be in in order to meet with people in the meeting on the side.
• @tracibabe chocolate chip martini?

• Check out the iPhone pouch @tracibabe made for me: http://icanhaz.com/iphone-pouch
• Busy, busy day! When, oh when will it end? Oh… right now? Really? You sure? Just walk right on out and get a beer huh? Epic bail! kthxbai!

Prior to my iPhone, I had a 5G Video iPod. At that time iPods came with a white sleeve/pouch thing to help protect the iPod from getting all banged up. When I got my original iPhone, I repurposed that pouch to hold it while in my pocket. As scratch resistant as the iPhone is, it doesn’t hurt to take care of it.

After a year of wear-and-tear, that pouch was looking a little rough and the stitching was holding onto dear life. So to go with my new 3G iPhone, my girlfriend Traci also made me a brand new, custom-designed pouch for it.

New Custom iPhone Pouch by Traci.

It’s got a soft, black exterior with little holes in it which show a gold-colored liner, made of a similar material to the polishing cloth that comes with the iPhone (the good one from the original, not the cheap, thin 3G one). This allows the sound to carry through it better than the iPod pouch. It also has a flap I can flip over to completely enclose the phone.

If you ask nicely, maybe she’ll make one for you too. She made a cute pink pouch for her iPhone already and is looking for her next customer.

• Orig. iPhone purchase: walk in, buy phone, go home. activate. 3G: Spend 45 minutes at AT&T store while clerk fingers up my new phone. FAIL!
• “To know about the Giggle Loop is to become PART of the Giggle Loop.” Spent late last night watching Coupling & How I Met Your Mother DVDs.
