Being Phoneless
Published October 7th, 2005 in TechnologyThe other night Christopher and I went over the House of Shields to check out the Web 1.0 Summit. Which was mildly entertaining.
In the process of getting my drink on I ended up misplacing my cell phone. This wasn’t realized until I got home around midnight, which by that time Cingular no longer answers their phones. Hopefully the dick head that picked my cell didn’t have any friends in Asia which he was longing to chat with!
I have to say being without a cell phone is giving me a disconnected from the world feeling. Sort of how I am without internet access. The funny thing is I hardly use my phone, but it’s obvious it has become a security blanket. Which I’m guessing is not a good thing.
do you go to the House of Shields a lot? Ian over at WULAD (http://wulad.blogspot.com) has a jazz band that plays there pretty frequently. i’ve always wanted to hear them play but y’all are half a continent away.
sucks about the phone, man.
sorry if this is a double-post.

I’m not sure why the first post didn’t show up for you. Maybe a weird refresh problem…
Anyway, I’ve been to HofS only a couple of times. I’ll have to keep my eye on this and check these guys out. Have you heard any of their stuff?
nope. but his blog is pretty funny, especially his posts trying to get people to show up to his gigs. like this one: http://wulad.blogspot.com/2005/09/ians-gig-announcement-recycled-edition.html
With me it’s completely different. I’m always forgetting to take my cell with me, and then I run into a random situation where I need it, and it’s never there.
Oh, and I bought a bike. It’s a ‘06 Specialized Rockhopper or something.
I’m going to start riding the Stevens Creek Trail on the weekends.
Owen,
I use to feel that way about my cell back when they were much larger. If I am unable to put the phone into my front pant pocket without causing too much bulge, then it’s too large. There’s no way I am going to start carrying around a “man bag” just so I can start toting around “cooler” electronic equipment.
Good choice on the bike! I had a Specialized Rockhopper a few years back, and it served me well.
I agree - the ManPurse is unacceptable to me too. And my phone is way too big, for the current times. For 1998, it’s just about right :/
