Post – Page 57 – Lost in Colonisation

Before tennis this afternoon, Leah and I got off the subway at W14th and planned to go to Rue des Crepes for some food. But when we got there, it turned out that it had been closed! No more crepes! Frakking disaster! We were so looking forward to crepes!

In its place is a bespoke pressed sandwich place called Switch Pressed Sandwiches. We were dubious at first but since we needed some food in our bellies before the exercise we decided to give it a try. We ordered the Trojan Horse (ground lamb with beefsteak tomato, tzatziki, and fresh mint on rosemary focaccia) and it was delicious! We were very surprised since we had a very low expectation.

Rio

Another unexpected result was that they were playing Duran Duran's Rio while we were waiting for the sandwich, and that reminded me to search for the track on iTunes when I got home. Needless to say, I am writing this post while listening to Duran Duran! Ah, the 80's!

For once I am slightly on the leading edge instead of following the trend. I heard about Twitter* on MacBreak Weekly's MacWorld podcast but I wasn't even remotely interested in it until I saw Iconfactory's Twitterrifc app this morning. Right now I have no friends so I don't know who is doing what (cue sad face), but hopefully some of my invites will sign up and soon we will all be 'twitting' (?).

* Twitter is a social networking web
service that lets you stay in touch with friends, family or even the
public at large thanks to short posts or “tweets” that describe what
you are doing at any given moment. The concept is simple, strangely
addictive and fun through and through. Tell friends, colleagues or
strangers what you are snacking on, your current interests, favorite
websites or just plain goofy nonsense!

What is everyone so worked up about iPhone's battery being not changeable? Just think about this, how many iPod owners do you know who also have a sync/charge cable with them, either in the office or at the airport waiting lounge? At least one? Ok, then you can charge your phone almost everywhere. I mean, surely you will be able to borrow a charger/cable if you promise someone a few minutes of playing your iPhone?
