i like all the 'useful links' on the bottom to pretty much
every cellphone company ever.

i don't have a cell phone, nor do i plan on getting one
anytime soon.

if i do get one, i will be getting the touch ringtones cd.
it seems quite awesome.

it's better to have a cell phone than a land line -- i think
they are generally cheaper (i share minutes with my dad,
sister, and brother; together i think we have about 1500 and
i don't think i've ever gone over 300), and of course you
can take them with you, so if your car ever breaks down (in
this freezing weather i'm just waiting to get stranded) you
won't have to walk through the country in the middle of the
night or something equally horrible.

of course having no land line means i have to use cable
internet rather than dsl, oh well.

sadly it's kind of unavoidable and I think it kind of creeps
in.. people sometimes don't even know they're doing it.

our own Bremzen used to immediately pick up his phone in the
middle of a conversation, without saying anything. about6
months ago I slapped him in the mouth and to his credit he
has never done it since, I think. it's only common courtesy
to say something like "just a moment" before picking up -
just as you would do if your phone rings at home (when
people still had phones at home). besides sounding very
self-righteous now, I wanted to make the point that I know
Bremzen never meant to be impolite or something, it just
creeps in, especially between mobile phone-users, I think.

as i said, those kind of people piss me off :) i usually
don't say anything but im very annoyed by it. tho most of
the people i care for always aplogize before answering it
and they hang up real quick.

eventually nanotechnology will allow us to just have instant
messenger in our eyeballs.

refer to Deus Ex for a good example of what I'm talking
about.

I don't have a mobile.

A lot of friends who have them become addicted to their
mobiles, they prefer to communicate with a distant person
via sms or a phone talk, and don't listen attentively to
the person who is near. Fucking mobile phone culture.

The mobile operators are fooling everybody, making lots of
'sales' and 'lowest prices', but still people pay for
something else, so that it is equal to what they would pay
with normal high prices.
