First night with the Hipstamatic. I gave it this longing gaze, like, [...]

Oh and I got an iPhone.

My two biggest attractions to the iPhone were Words with Friends and the Hipstamatic photo app. I’ll spare you the long story, but the short of it is I lucked into an iPhone on Friday. Guess which apps I downloaded first. I hope Project 365 will spring back to life now.

From yesterday and [...]
