Cache Or Charge?

Storm Update: Well, that snowstorm yesterday turned out to be an almost total bust. The sun was out by late afternoon and the streets dried up. Not much snow left on the grassy areas either.
I know I’ve been talking a lot about my iPhone lately, but I can’t help it. It’s my new gadget, after all. Today I’m going to talk a little about battery life. I read in a review somewhere that initially the battery life is not very good until it’s been drained and charged a couple of times. Initially, I was disappointed that indeed, the battery life did not seem to be very long and I was having to charge it like every other day. They also say that the first few days of ownership are bad because you’re playing with it a lot and focusing on the Internet capabilities. That drains the battery fast, especially if you’re using AT&T’s EDGE network instead of WiFi. Well, I’ve been through a couple of near-drainage/recharge cycles and now the battery seems to be holding its charge for a lot longer, even if I do a lot of Internet-over-EDGE stuff. So, yeah, I guess that reviewer was right.
That is all.
Jogged Today: Yes (@ 33°F)
Songs That Came Up On The iPod While Jogging:
- “Mind’s Eye” (John Sharples)
- “I’ve Been Wild” (Stranglers)
- “Nothing Left” (Buzzcocks)
- “So Long, Superman*” (Firewater)
- “The Pledge” (Brendan Benson)
- “Old House” (Nik Kershaw)
- “Death Of A Rockstar” (Immaculate Machine)
* – One of my all-time favorite comic-book related songs (even though it’s not really). Bonus: It also mentions Lou Ferrigno in “Hulk” mode.
And hey, a John Sharples song! Quite a coincidence after yesterday’s search term mention of him.
Pet Peeve of the Day: I stepped in some oil in a strip mall parking lot today, which I initially thought was water. Luckily I caught myself before hitting the ground, but ended up with an oily mess on my shoes, and then on the mat in my car, and on the peddles in the car (making it a bit difficult to drive without crashing). Aaargh. It’s all cleaned up now. But what a mess!
