Here are some of the things I have done with my iPhone:
Played Colossal Cave, Aurora Feint, and Cube Runner.
Taken photos of my cats.
Ordered a pizza.
Found the nearest convenience store.
Remotely accessed my entire music collection and streamed music to my office.
Let the iPhone listen to a song I didn’t know. It identified the song and told me where I could buy it or watch the music video.
Updated my Twitter.
Kept track of an eBay auction.
I dictacted a note which then got transcribed into text on a To Do list.
Watched an anime music video.
Got directions to a concert.
Texted my friends.
Remotely controlled my Mac via VNC.
Made a few calls.
The Dark Knight
Anyone who doesn’t like this movie is not to be trusted, as they are most likely a cyborg sent from the future to kill you.

Dream Job will be on hiatus for a bit while I come up with more ideas.
Wanted
2 parts Matrix. 1 part Fight Club. 10 shades of badass.
It ends with an urgent question which I encourage everyone to ask themselves.

Hancock
I have not been so surprised by a film since Fight Club. Hancock is about superheroes the way that Fight Club is about punching. This impression should of course be taken with a grain of salt as the film really spoke to me on some other level. Your mileage may vary.

Perfect! The Macintosh sound clip for WALL-E’s recharge cycle sealed the deal. Even the end credits were amazing.
