Super Sleepless in Seattle II Turbo

So anyone who knows me knows that right now, my sleeping schedule is
majorly f'd.. As in f'd in the a. Here I am at 6:15 AM. I've been
awake for almost 14 hours. Do the math and you'll find that I started
my day yesterday at 4:00 PM. I have a pretty full day today, which
means I've probably missed my last reasonable window of sleep-time by
a few hours. Finals are definitely shaping up to be grand.

On the other side of things, I'm really excited to have discovered
this blogging by email feature. It's a big deal to me because it means
that I finally have a stable, persistent way to blog with both photos
and text (though apparently not both at the same time. Grrr..) via my
iPhone, a device that has, until now, been relegated to the more
common rolls of mp3 player and cell phone.

Additionally, I have just set up my Gmail account on this thing to
work through IMAP instead of POP. I definitely see myself using the
email features of this device much more in the near future.

This is all really exciting for me. I've longed for a way to be able
to post what I'm experiencing at any given time to my blog regardless
of my proximity to a computer, and now I have one! Although it's true
that there are certain aspects of the iPhone that I loathe (closed
architecture, limited codec support etc.), it's hard to stay angry at
a device that converges so many technologies and will easily hide in
one's pocket.
