OK, I'll admit it...I'm behind the times.  Just started "Twittering" as RideBellChain, and I've been playing on Facebook (Mark Turkel) for the last 4 months.  Twitter?  Not sure about it.  Facebook - yeah, it's cool.  Found tons of old friends, and also went to an impromptu high school reunion last month.

It's always a "toughie" for me when I meet with a new client, and they tell me about their needs, and then look up and say "how much will that cost?".  That is such an unfair question 1 hour into the game, but it happens each and every time...and my answer usually is "between $30,000 and $1,000,000".  If nothing else, it breaks the ice and gives everyone a little chuckle.  And then they say "seriously, what do you think?".

This last week, I finally "caved in" and bought an iPhone. In fact a bunch of us did: my Wife Lorraine, my business partner James and his wife, and one of my other friends upgraded from the 3G to the 3Gs. Wow - eyes are now wide open and I understand why the iPhone is one of the most amazing bits of technology on the planet!

I didn't want to switch carriers, didn't want to switch away from my cell company for one that has a reputation in this area of horrible service (haven't seen that yet, btw), and I didn't want to switch away from my oh-so-depended-on Blackberry. I even managed to put off the little man in my head telling me that I'm missing out on something fun, something good...until now. And damn was I dumb for procrastinating! I love the thing and its only a week old! Now that I've been playing with it, I can't wait to create real iPhone applications! Not silly games, but for business...to reach out to the cloud...to get back on the leading edge of technology and build some really helpful programs that run on the iPhone....and I have SO MANY good ideas!...
