I don’t get to write about this too often. But tonight I ran into a situation where iTunes did not fail gracefully.

I recently joined facebook and decided to test out the free facebook app from the iTunes App Store. So I plugged in the iPhone, fired up iTunes, and did a search and found the app.

Unfortunately, when I went to “purchase” the free app, I was greeted with the following:

I’ve finally given into the dark side. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it, but I figured it would give me a chance to reconnect with old friends.

So after much reluctance, I have decided to take the Facebook leap. I’m already a LinkedIn member, but I figured that Facebook was a different audience and in these times, you can never have too many friends that may open a door for you if one should happen to close. I’m not worried about it, but better to be prepared just in case.

I was attempting to get a multimedia message off the iPhone today and noticed a nice bit of news. 3G has finally arrived from AT&T

Whoohoo!!!

At work, our corporate network is mainly all Microsoft. Sure there are roles filled by some linux machines and for our ISP services, its almost all unix/linux. But for email, calendaring, document sharing, its Micro$oft all the way.

I’m the black sheep of the office running OSX on a mini. I’m “testing” software, honest =)

Due to the nature of the corporate network, I find it is just easier to run the Microsoft office suite which means working with Entourage on a daily basis. Its not the greatest thing in the world, but it gets me by.

I’ll admit it, I’m an email pack rat. I don’t like being this way, I just am. I’m terrible about deleting emails. I send myself links to read at a later point in time. I often use my inbox as a todo list by sending myself messages of things I need to do. There is a freaking todo list in my email client (Entourage) for goodness sake. I have a backpack account with 37 signals. Good lord, why am I using my inbox as my todo list. This is nuts.
