Yes, I’m insane.
I’m currently in line for the iPhone, with about 5 and a half hours to go before actually buying on. Word is that James Lileks will be showing up here this afternoon.
So far, I’d estimate about 60-70 people are in line in front of the Apple Store, which proves that there’s no shortage of nerds like me with far too much time on our hands.
Then again, I have my Criminal Procedure book with me, which means that I’m actually getting something done. However, the next time I decide to wait in line for some big gadget, I’m definitely bringing a chair…
Madness. You gotta love that resolute Republican work ethic.
And just think, once you finish standing in line for the iPhone, you’ll have to spend a few more hours in line waiting to get in to overcrowded theaters airing the debut of Michael Moore’s “Sicko”.
Actually, it was a very productive day. I got a major amount of work done while waiting in line.
Actually, I Netflixed Triumph of the Will — I like my propaganda to at least contain decent cinematography…
Good luck with that, given Apple’s track record with all thier version 1 hardware…
Eh, Moore’s a pretty damn good propagandist. I saw Sicko last night, and while he wasn’t in top form (it was no Farenheit 9/11), it was still pretty well crafted. But it was more dishonest and one-sided than his last two films, if such as a thing is possible. Yowza.
