Bush or Batman?

Posted by Ben under Movies, Politics

In honor of the epic film The Dark Knight (which I saw twice this weekend), I’ll share this quick sketch by Secret Pants. See if a few Philadelphians came tell whether a quote was uttered by our fearless commander-in-chief, or the caped crusader from the 1960s.

Kudos to one of my favorite web comics, ExtraLife, for the link.

AT&T Hates Me

Posted by Ben under General, Technology

AT&T 3G Coverage in Hellam, PA

Like many other iPhone owners, the first thing I did upon hearing about the new iPhone 3G was surf over to AT&T’s coverage map to shake the proverbial magic 8-ball of 3G coverage. My little nook of Pennsyltucky? Not likely, I thought. But when AT&T announced it was rolling out 3G in Lancaster County, I thought there might be some hope, as I’m a stones throw across the Susquehanna River. By the way, I’m happy to say I preempted the announcement by 20 hours. Yes, I surf too much.

As fate would have it, some entrails of 3G coverage are splattered around my apartment. I seriously think someone at AT&T is screwing with me, as I’m not the only one to see the hidden imagery encompassing my neighborhood. Bastards. Even though I do use WiFi at home, their coverage here is yet another reason I’m holding off the upgrade. At least that’s what I’m telling myself this week.
