A new favourite blog

Oh!  Is it really that long since I last made a blog posting?

Well - much of that can be blamed on TrekChina.    I'm still in catch up mode at work and at home too.   And during that catch up I had the great pleasure of discovering not just that Stephen Fry has a blog but that his first post was a "geek posting" - on the pros and cons of the iPhone.  And of course it was the best posting on the topic that I have yet read. 

I've only touched an iPhone twice now and I was, for various complex reasons, determined not to like it.  I failed miserably in that respect. It really is a wonderful example of design. Not perfect, it has niggles, but still in a class of its own.  I'm wondering why the same level of thought can't go into more products and objects around us?



EDIT: November 12th 2007. I take back what I said! Fry is obviously in the employ of Apple or besotted by the iPhone's designer. He keeps on about it - and has nothing else to say. Oh well - first impressions and all that!!!

What a windbag that Steven Fry is. He must be resting between jobs. Mind you I am sure he will soon get over the excitement of writing postings and just do one liners like the rest of us. Not you of course, but definitely me.
