Just posted on my Tumblr, this is the reality about design. Based on a conversation with my co-worker Tiina who made it happen visually 
(can you tell which one of us is the designer?)

iPhone 4: Day 1
I finally bit the bullet and got myself an iPhone 4. It was kind of a big leap – I was upgrading from an o.g. iPhone. That’s right, the Edge network! But it was time to let go of Chaucer (my o.g. iPhone) and upgrade to Milton (my iPhone 4). Yes, I name my electronics…generally after literary figures or characters.
For Day 1, I managed to:
- Better navigate through my public transit-ness with Google Maps and GPS
- Contemplate planning a trip to San Diego
- Use/Test FaceTime with my friend Esteban
- Take photos (with both cameras!)
Twitter: Promoted Trending Topic with Toy Story 3
I don’t think Toy Story 3 needed help to be a top trending topic on Twitter, but apparently it pays to insure that it is:
Promoted Twitter Trend Topic - Toy Story 3
I had assumed an advertising model was going to run through eventually, but I hadn’t thought about promoted trending topics. Makes sense. I wonder if it costs more to also include #toystory3 hashtag as a bonus?

“Everything” Taglines: iPhone 4, PS3 Move, and Xbox Kinect (Sort of)
Everything x 3
The “summer blockbuster” seems less applicable to the movies and more to electronics lately. With the announcement (and pre-order craze) of the iPhone 4 and more information/demos/hype for the PS3 Move and Xbox Kinect coming out of E3 – you’d think that there would be some more creativity a-buzz with taglines.
Nope.
- iPhone 4 – It changes everything. Again.
- PS3 Move - It changes everything.
- XBox is a little bit more creative – deciding to allude to the fact that it “changes everything” – “You are the controller.” …which I think basically says that it changes everything.
