George Lucas eat your heart out. Wookey Hole cheese. Cave aged in England (by Jedi).

This cheder cheese has a strong unrefined sharp flavor. While eating one can almost imagin a mild hairy wookey undertone.

For once I get what I want for Christmas.

Long line is LOOOOOOONG!

As the title describes I have an iPhone 3G now and in the tradition of getting a new device that can update wordpress, this post is being written on that device.

Many of you may be thinking “Jonathan + iPhone = WTF?” and trust me I’m with you here but let me start from the beginning.

On 2008-04-04 I left Photo & Sound Saving and began a search for a new job. At the time I thought I would be starting a new career at The City Of Bothell but it was not to be. Instead I was beat out by yet another idiot with a degree which is funny considering where I ended up. 2008-06-30 I was hired on at Bellevue Community College as a Network Admin.

So back to the iPhone. AT&T offers state employees a 15% discount on their monthly bills. It’s like w00t where do I sign up. The catch being a have to sign a new two year contract. Thus in renewing my contract I got an iPhone.

In reference to sorting through someone’s pictures from their trip to Egypt.

“It’s comforting to know that there are places in the world that I will never wish to visit so that in my new world order there will be places to put people I don’t like.”

I guess this means if you are someone I don’t like get ready for a free one way trip to Egypt. Perhaps a good starting point would be the entire Bush Administration.

The idea of personal transportation has existed for a very long time. Ever since one creature has found a bigger less lazy and intelligent creature to carry them. Man is somewhat unique that in the late 1800’s he invented his own beast of burden now commonly known as the automobile.

The automobile was a giant leap forward in personal transportation. Not only did it run on an unlimited natural resource called oil instead of hay, but you could take up twice as much space on the road to that of a horse. As a bonus automobiles produced emission just like they were mini factories. Carbon emissions made your city look modern and productive. This was much preferred to that of biodegradable horse poo.

As the automobile became more reliable man could travel far distances. He no longer had to worry about the convenience of building little shops within walking distance of his home. Because he loved traveling in his automobile so much he built small roads that went to far away areas. These areas were designated for giant ugly retail establishments that he would not want near his house. Now entire cities could navigate their cars via these small roads called highways to the designated areas for shopping. Man was very cleaver in creation of these roadways. Because the roads can not handle the volume of entire cities trying to go shopping an new wondrous byproduct of the automobile was created. With the invention now known as traffic man had another excuse to spend even more waking hours of the day traveling inside his large motorized vehicle.

With the cheap production of automobiles public transportation and general human happiness has sored to new heights. We have also found that those carbon emissions help trap sunlight in our atmosphere creating an warmer more pleasant climate. This helps to melt those pesky ice caps at both the north and south pools thus creating more water for fish to swim in and more land for people to live on.

Indeed the automobile is such a perfect model of transportation the idea has not needed updating or innovation in over 100 years. Only time can tell what wonderful things this model of transportation has in store for us. Three cheers for the mechanical horse.
