I literally cannot stop talking about this phone after finally obtaining one of my own earlier this week. Physically the phone is everything I’ve ever wanted out of an iPhone. Apple finally got rid of the oh so easily scratch-able bezel that surrounded the screen and felt shoddy where it met with either the metal of a iphone or the plastic of an iphone 3g/s. I was always more of a fan of the boxier shape of the original iphone to the curved plastic back of the 3g/s.
As far as the death grip phenomenon I’m not sure if I’ve experienced it or not. I did have a couple of phone call drops today, but they were both in areas with sketch reception. I’m not too worried about this as I’ve done several tests and not seen a drop in reception. My bumper should be in within the week so as far as I’m concerned it’s a non issue.
For a case, I’ve indicated that I’m using a bumper, but I also plan on using an UltraSlim Pouch from Sena. One of the things I loved about blackberry’s back in the day was the sleek leather pouch that it came in and I’ve always wanted something similar for the iphone., but never found anything that fit my oh-so-specific tastes until now.
As for screen protection I’m going with the same screen protector that I’ve been using since I had the original iphone, Power Support’s HD AntiGlare Film. From what I understand, they’ve totally re-engineered their screens to work better with the iphone 4′s retina display. I plan on sporting a film on both the front and the back of my phone. These are usually sold at the apple store, but I was unable to find them this time around and ordered a set online. I did also find out that they should be back in stock at the apple store within the month.
Also I’ve become obsessed with dust in my dock connector so, i’m not using Portectorz by Radtech.

So it’s Friday once again and anyone who knows me, knows that’s the day I start building out decks to play at battlegrounds. This week I’m trying something a little different and playing a deck I’ve never played before and have openly called out as being jank in the past. Hopefully things will work out in my favor tonight, but we’ll have to see. I’m expecting a lot of rogue and mage tonight, so I’m hoping I’m packing enough answers to deal with them.
So as part of my friday routine for nights where we’re playing constructed, I must build a deck for Razor… This week he will be playing the Bloody Mary version of deathwish from worlds. We’ll see how he does. lol.
Reports on the madness later.

I finally saw Scott Pilgrim vs. The World last night!
The movie itself was hilarious and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would also say that the stand out star of the movie wasn’t Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, but was Kieran Culkin as Wallace Wells who def made the movie for me.
The main complaint that I have is that the entire movie felt rushed, so rushed in fact that if I had not read the graphic novels, I’m not sure I could have kept up with the action.
I also felt like there wasn’t enough time for any kind of character development for some secondary characters such as, Stephen Stills, Kim Pine and even Ramona Flowers to an extent that made the book seem so rich.
Aside from those complaints, I disliked that what I felt was the main point of the book was left out. There’s a reason Scott is so confused and cannot remember his past relationships and the way the movie delt with this felt like a cop out
The movie itself is def worth catching, I actually plan on seeing it agian, but don’t expect the depth of the graphic novels, which i HIGHLY reccomend you read.

So they changed my schedule at work and no one mentioned it to me while i was gone!
I had been working Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm, but they’ve changed me to Sunday – Thursday, 9:30am – 6:30pm.
I’m not totally excited about working on Sundays, but I get paid time and a half and I do get to come in later, which is nice.
I suppose I’ll adapt.

Geez, Gen Con was much busier than I could have ever imagined it would have been, but I loved every moment of it.
By all accounts Cryptozoic knocked one out of the park and was the talk of the con. I was very impressed with the job they did and with the sheer number of people making thier way though the ballroom. Even after we’d closed for the night I’d be walking around and see a few people huddled togeather playing class decks in the hotel and even at the airport on Monday as I was getting ready to leave.
I spent most of my time during the tournament judging the day one heats and then day two and part of three main event. On Saturday afternoon I was reassigned to work league with James, which was also pretty awesome.
I wish I had a little more time to see the expo hall, but I snuck in during my lunches and managed to get all of the cards i had planned on getting signed signed and taking in as many sights as possible.
At the end of the weekend I was exhausted, but had more fun that words on this page could describe.
