Since I'm a bit bored waiting for launch time.. just wanted to ask the thread if anyone else is like me..
I'm 41.. beautiful wife, 2 great kids.. law degree, happy fulfilling life. No complaints.
However, these days pretty much nothing gets me excited. I've seen most of the world, done the adrenaline sports, owned very nice things, etc, etc, etc. (First world problem.)
However, the one thing that does get me excited like kids on Christmas morning is the annual pilgrimage to the alter of Apple (aka- iPhone keynotes). On the first day iPhone 1 came out a friend showed it to me and I was blown away. Day 2 and I was at the Apple store buying one. When 3G came out and the App Store debuted, I was in line at 4:30 AM on Day 1. For the iPhone 4 I grabbed it Day 2.
For some reason the iPhone brings out my inner child. My wife and friends get quite a few laughs out of it. I think I've converted no less than 25 people to the device. I'm sure there are various reasons but the iPhone has always excited me like no other material thing in the world. Maybe it's because I use it so much. Maybe it's because I can be on vacation, fully in touch with work and net while on the beach and then turn around and film my kids playing in the waves.
Alas, I have babbled. Just wondering if anyone else counts the iPhone as one of the only things they get excited over these days.
PS- I'm a long time lurker but just signed up this week. Keep up the great work Rene and crew!
