The iphone

Some people are afraid of technology, afraid that something they do will spoil whatever they are holding. I guess i've done my fair share of breaking technology. I've taken apart many things, most of the time i can't put it back together. But i guess this is where i got my wonder of technology, if you can put it that way. I was always curious about how things worked. Maybe its a guy thing. Now i have quite a few gadgets around me. I was one of the first people to own an ipod, getting my first one when they only had 5 and 10Gb versions.. A PSP, just to fulfil that need of a gaming machine to play with.. it has been with me through many adventures in the bathroom... heh heh..

But now the coolest gadget in the world is the.... iPhone. That one device that sooo many people would love to get their hands on, even paying top dollar for someone to import it to a country that Apple has not released the iPhone to. Tens of thousands of pple around the world own an iPhone, regardless whether it is official, or unofficial..

But me.. poor old me.. i dun get to get one. My Darling wife has mandated that i cannot buy one. And at 500US dollars, i can't blame her... tsk tsk.. It is too expensive, plus, it makes it impossible for you to be away from the internet for long. You can surf the web, talk on the phone, listen to music, all sorts of cool stuff. But as the force beyond my control continually says when i ask, " Do you really need to be so connected?" It is the gear lust! The gear lust has got me! But i realise she is right. Do i really want to be so connected? That you're only an email away? a text message? Its funny that the world is getting more connected, but people are getting more distant from each other. Email, SMSes have replaced the phone call. Even the way frens are made have changed. With Facebook, mySpace.. so happy when you have an friend approval from Facebook. But i digress.

Do i really want an iphone?? You betcha.. But what would i use it for? Nothing.. maybe make an occasional phone call.. the ever so rare text message. I just want one to play with, to say Nah! i have one! To upload my collection of videos so i can watch on the move... To add one to my collection of toys, of which there are never enough. Now, its gadgets.. tens years down the line. Cars?? Then Boats? or even planes? I wonder how many pple are even reading this! hahahahaha..

Anyway. , to end off, heres a clip from one of my favourite comedians/comediennes.. Eddie Izzard about Technojoy! Enjoy...

Two pretty interesting videos i found online..

In Christ Alone

Been listening to this song over and over again, i dunno y. its very uplifting. Been in a down point with my walk in Christ. I mean really down, even to the point that i think i am backsliding. But this song just reminds me to put all my hope in Christ alone. Enjoy!



In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
