But I did buy one the day after it came out. And having carried it in my pocket every day since, looking at it every morning when I wake up and before I go to bed, using it for everything from weather to directions to email to playing Nintendo, I’ve gotta say: it’s a truly amazing device. Game changing you might say. Sure, I get a bit jealous of those more functional Blackberry keyboards, but these days when I have to suffer through using someone else’s phone I briefly wonder how I ever lived without my slim little iPhone.

What’s most impressive is when you hand your iPhone to someone who’s never used it before. Just watch them play with it and you see the future of software.

I’m not the first to say it by any means, but the announcement yesterday of Software Development Kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch is going to be huge. It’s not a phone or an mp3 player anymore, it’s a platform. It’s a way of building portable, useable, and revolutionary tools that are going to continue to change the way we interact with the world. Seriously, if you don’t have one now, you will have a touch-based and internet connected device in your hand in the next 10 years.

Now let’s just hope someone besides Apple and Steve Jobs can get their act together and build a true competitor.

And on a completely unrelated note, Star Wars according to a 3 year old.

In the related videos there are also all kinds of hysterical ad parodies. Plenty of material to get you to the end of the day.

I’m pretty sure my memory of the commercial actually comes from watching the Ewoks movies on VHS tape over and over and over again as a kid.

(And whatya know? The YouTube description actually says they found this ad on a Ewoks video tape. Nice.)

I’m glad to see Hasselhoff is still sharing the love. I can only assume he’s serious in this video.

This was one of my absolutely favorite cartoons when I was a little kid. I even have a black and white stuffed cat named Felix still by my bedside.

Woof! Woof!

Nine (9) minutes of Jabar Gaffney highlights from last year with the Texans. The man doesn’t mind catching the ball over the middle and taking a hit. Also note, Carr takes a 3-5 step drop and gets rid of the ball as fast as possible due to his horrendous O-Line. On every play. The only read seems to be his first read. So, Gaffney seems to be relegated to short out routes and slants.

He’s also got a link to a 15 minute highlight video of Reggie Brown, our presumptive #1 receiver in 2006, from last year.

For your Friday listening pleasure, I’ll recommend my picks from this week, Built To Spill’s You In Reverse and the tremendous At War With The Mystics by The Flaming Lips. You should be able to click either of those links to listen to the albums for free on Rhapsody.com (though you may have to install the plugin).

This is one of the absolute weirdest things I’ve seen in a while. Michel Gondry and David Cross tell a wonderful tale of a man and his excrement…

It’s enough to make you miss Arrested Development.
