My iPhone Keepsake Box...I like the sound of that!

Well I haven't found an option to save my text messages that screams at me, "Yes, I'm what you're looking for!" When it isn't this easy I ask myself what I'm looking for exactly, I define a criteria, and then I start looking again for the solution that fits my criteria. I prefer when solutions just jump out at me. Oh, I forgot to mention it seems the limit for text messages increased from 1000 to 75000 with the firmware release of iPhone 1.1.3 in January 2008. While I can't find a confirmation of this limit increase on Apple's iPhone site, I did find more than a few blogs, like Technorati, that reported it back in January 2008 when the update was made available. So, at least I can rest easy that I have more time to search for my iPhone keepsake box...hmmm, I like that name....is this an app idea?

GoGadgetGurl is in love!

Yes, I'm in love! It's been a whirlwind romance and I am so HAPPY!!! He's the perfect guy for me! I feel so blessed real love has finally happened for me. Every time I say that phrase I think of CeCe Peniston's club classic, "Finally!" My love life has been a long journey. A little longer than Carrie and Big. And my guy is a mix between Big and Charlotte's Harry. And even though I've been beginning a wonderful life of love and friendship with an amazing guy, GoGadgetGurl lives. In fact, our entire love story is in my iPhone (and his). He sent me epic love letters, I mean, texts ;) I never want to delete them. In fact, I delete all other texts just to make sure I have space to keep the texts from my honey :) And of course we continue to text each other everyday. The iPhone limit is 1000 text messages. I don't know if there is a count I can view on the phone to know how many we have now, yet I know everyday we get closer to that limit. So, how do I save them? How do I make sure I keep the love story of my life to share with our grandchildren :):):)? And so begins by quest...just what is the keepsake box for the iPhone generation? I promise you, I will discover it, and share it with all of you...

I Got "Carried" Away....

And it was fabulous! One of my best friend's and I went to see "Sex And The City" on opening night. We weren't quite prepared for the crowds....well honestly, we knew there would be crowds we just didn't bother to plan...why? Well, I have a new job and I love it! So, since I'm the one that usually does the planning I waited too late, Friday afternoon, to get tickets. All the theaters in the city were sold out and the ones across the bay were sold out as well. We went to each theater, one after the other, to hear or see sold out again and again. After three theatres we finally found a 10:15pm show at a Landmark art house theater. It was 6:45 pm, so we had 3.5 hours to kill. We then went to two restaurants before we finally settled on going to the italilan restaurant across the street from the theater....it suffices to say I did alot of driving that night within a 10 mile radius. In the end it was all worth it! I LOVED the movie! And I especially loved Carrie's discovery of the filtered emails from Big (remember her assistant had the emails from Big go to secure folder protected by the password, "Love"...aaaahhh) declaring his undying love for Carrie :) It was the perfect ending to an enduring love!

This Summer's Countdown! Our Girls Are Back!

Yes, another summer countdown ;) Last year it was the iPhone. This year it's the Sex and the City Movie. It's so much fun having events to look forward to at the beginning of the summer :) Are you wondering what Sex and the City has to do with GoGadgetGurl! Everything! Every episode she writes her column on her Apple laptop. Remember the episode when Carrie's laptop crashed and how she didn't even want Aidan, or anyone else, beside the computer geek to touch it. He was able to save some of her data. The result, she learned the importance of backing up her data. Oh! And when the series started Carrie didn't have a cell phone. So, remember the episode when Carrie's birthday party was a bust! She waited for hours at an empty table for 10 before she sulked home. When she got there she heard message after message on her answering machine telling her everyone was stuck in traffic and couldn't get to the restaurant. I think it was Miranda's message that said "Get a cell phone!" And that's when Carrie got a cell phone. On the final episode of the series it was a shot of Carrie's blinged out pink cell phone that revealed Big's real name, "John". And if you've seen the Sex and the City trailer it seems to be that same cell phone that we watch fall out of a devastated Carrie's hand and down the drape of her wedding dress to the floor. What happened? Who was on the phone? I don't know now, yet I, along with every other fan, will know on May 30th ;)

My Little Black Bag

So, I thought I'd share with you what I have in my little black accessories bag. The one I mentioned last week. In addition to the audio cable, I carry in my bag all the accessories I need for all my gadgets when I travel. I love this little bag. I never unpack it, so I never forget anything. When I travel I typically carry my mobile phone (currently an iPhone), digital camera, laptop, an ipod or two, and my flash drives. So, in my bag I carry the wall and auto charger for my iPhone and iPods (the adapter and the cables). My digital camera cable to connect to my laptop, an ethernet cable (in case the hotel room doesn't have wireless, and I'm happy to say I haven't needed an ethernet cable in months), and of course, the audio cable. Now, the most important accessories I carry are two electrical outlet extensions. I don't know your experience staying in hotels, my experience has been one too many hotels rooms didn't have enough outlets for me to plug in all my gadgets. My outlet extensions have been a lifesaver many times. And just in case you're wondering my laptop power cord is usually in my laptop bag.
