If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Cool apps like Photoswap, where you take a photo, and it's sent to a random person and you get a random one in return. Stupid, but fun.
On a related note, I was talking to the AT&T chat folks, and they said that an AT&T tower is going up in Bend sometime in the near future. She couldn't say when or where, but mentioned Cascade Lakes (which seemed a little out there, but maybe just outside of town) and that it would only be a GSM, not 3G, tower (the Oregon Coast has 3G, and we can't -- how stupid is that?). Long story short? It means we might be able to get local numbers for iPhones sometime. Probably a decade from now, but hey, it's a start.
