hello, dumbphone

today was very eventful. i started bright and early with a grueling, sweaty, and very hilly bike ride.

back it up.

back it up again.

saturday. my iphone crashed. yes, the invulnerable apple iPhone OS apparently has its own vulnerabilities. i admit, i jailbroke the phone and placed those there myself.

anyways, it crashed.

[i told the story of me tinkering with the iPhone. but i got bored just telling it. must not be an exciting story. included below for those with too much time.]

today i bought my first dumbphone. it really is dumb. i mean, the thing doesn't even have a mobile web browser. how spoiled have i been the last 3 years?

i got home from work, and tried to fix my iPhone one more time. IT WORKED. so now i have my old, cracked, abused iPhone back. and an extra dumbphone. anyone want the dumb phone?











i restarted the phone, it crashed again. this cycle continued for 30 min until it finally worked again. i never found out what the original problem was.

no big deal, right? just back up the data and restore it. too bad i'm too lazy for that.

i neglected to back it up.

sunday. crashed once. came back to life. all was well.

monday. no problems at all. good! still didn't back it up.

today. my iphone crashed. just as i was about to leave my apartment for work, it crashed. i spent the next 4 hours trying to get it to work again. restarting it would work, and when i went to restore it in iTunes, my computer couldn't connect with it. nothing would work.

i went to best buy and bought a dumbphone.
