Because they're fucking awesome.

I've been thinking about it intermittently for a while now. I never had the remotest interest, but then every once in a while in the last few months something sparks my interest and it starts to nag at me.

Just a few days ago, I was in a procedure at work, and needed to calculate a different medication dose in the middle. So the doc I was with says, "Oh, there's a calculator in my pocket." I reached into her pocket, and pulled out her phone. Which of course I couldn't make work. And she's standing there with her hands up in the air because she had sterile gloves on while I'm fighting with her phone and she's saying, "No, just slide it. Slide the whole screen. Like that, slide it."

And then at the very end she looked at me and said, "You don't have a smartphone, do you." As if it wasn't totally fucking obvious by that point.

Yeah, I've seen some of the apps. I used to use a Palm Pilot with some cool medical software, but I haven't even used that in a few years, so it's hard to justify that as a reason to get a smartphone. Besides, I always have access to a computer at work.

But more and more, I'm starting to feel like they just *look cool*. Which is weird, because I've never really been a gadget person.

I have another year before I can upgrade my phone for free anyway though, but I think when that comes around again, I'm going to make the leap.

But... I'm so pissed you have to pay for the fucking app! It should be free, just like the website. Damn it!!!!

I think the nest is a money laundering operation. it HAS to be. It's the only way to explain why people who run a website don't actually KNOW anything about running a website.

I still maintain what I said yesterday: the whole Pampers thing, it's not about corporate sponsorship; it's some sort of demon-worshipping conspiracy. Or maybe Masons. Aren't the Masons behind everything?

Oh wow, I just did an ass shake

Awesome!
