Neo-luddites unite

I'm sick of technology. It's so tiring to have to buy the newest, most exciting device on the market.

The last thing I bought myself was a KRZR. I know, I'm probably way-outdated. I must look like a neanderthal when I pick up chicks.

I'm waiting for the new iphone to come out. To be honest, I think it's way too expensive to own an iphone with the market the way it is. Unless you absolutely need web access, it's kind of pointless.

Although, I do think that the unlocked iphone 3G has a lot of promise. I was watching youtube the other day and there was a video with people using the emergency connect for web access. These were not college-educated people! They seemed to be from the inner-city. This, to me, was brilliant.

I'm all for technology being used for creative purposes. Giving access to people who have no access.

What the Hell is Coogi?

So, I found this new brand lately, it's called "Coogi". "Coogi" is pretty much an urban-fashion style. The label itself is from Australia. They focus on bright colors and designs. Check out their website if you have a chance. It's pretty minimal.

The best places to buy Coogi? I think that high-end outlets, and boutiques are going to be your best bet. I found an amazing hat from Tony's Sports in Chicago. Otherwise, Filene's basement also has a good selection of gear, this can be hit or miss.

I'm sick of cellphones

I'm tired of iphones; I'm tired of g1's. I hate those little cheap sliders that come with one-year contracts on the GSM carriers. I want something ubercool, something that will really turn heads and make people say "WOW NICE PHONE."

Well, for a while I used to browse Plemix looking for the newest unlocked phones from overseas. There are some amazing NEC phones out there. I think most of the phones from South Korea or Japan are light-years ahead of the game. In the US, most people have what works. I am not that cool, I'm not used to phones that have multi-functions. I want things that do ONE thing correctly, and then adapt our lives around it.


I used to not text very much. Now I have the biggest text plan I can afford, and it's alot easier to get me to reply to a text message than a phone call. Most of the time, I'm busy doing something. I don't have time to answer a call. Also, I live in Chicago, and when I'm on the train, there's a good chance I'm not going to have service.

Although, U.S. Cellular has reception on the trains...but CDMA just isn't my thing. I suppose that I'm complaining about nothing; I should just be fine with my Motorola KZR and upgrade to a multi-function phone when it's the standard, not the luxury.

I'm not a broker or someone who needs to be 'in the loop' all the time. Although, it would be nice to have something like a Sidekick.
