This is the second Countour case I’ve owned for my iPhone. This is the second one where the clip broke. Argh.

[New on 11/1]

After the first break, I happened to be in a mall with an Apple store, so I wandered over. I explained to the salesperson that I needed a new case because my really cool Contour case broke. He asked me if I had it with me. I did. He took the broken clip from me, opened a box on a new one, and gave me a new clip.

A few months later, it broke again. This time, I surfed over to the Contour Web site and voiced my frustrations to them. Nothing over the top, just a quick note saying I was disappointed in the product.

Within two hours, Julie in customer service sent me a personal e-mail (not one of those stupid “we got your e-mail and think you like receiving spam, so here’s some spam” e-mails). She said, “We redesigned this clip a few months back. Please send me your shipping info and I will get a replacement to you.”

Wow! Thanks, Julie – and thank you, Contour!

So this is what the core of the Apple iPhone 3Gs looks like.

I didn’t want to know this, but when I dropped it in the sink, I opened the phone to let it air out. It unfortunately is permanently damaged. The backlight doesn’t work, so I cannot read the screen unless it is in direct sunlight or another bright light.

I’ve been living this way for almost a month now. Painful. When does the iPhone 4 come out?

I know the uproar has died down some, what with Apple finally admitting that they needed to do something about the quite real antenna problem. Sorry Steve, I dial with my right hand, and that means the phone is in my left hand. My experiments at holding the phone differently led me to believe I was going to drop it.

We all know what happens when you drop a glass phone.

So I was stoked when Steve Jobs agreed that it was in his best interest to buy me a new case.

Now I can take the duct tape off.

Here is a little experiment. As the line between phones, cameras, and computers blurs with each generation of smart phones, I thought I’d try the WordPress iPhone ap to see what a blog post looks like from the company cafeteria. With that in mind, I present you Ronny’s version of a personal pizza with buffalo chicken and blue cheese.

It was delicious.

Okay – back to work!

I took this photo because I like where Apple has gone since they first started selling the iPod. My first iPod was in cube roughly 8 inches (20 cm) per side. These days, the box is almost as small as it can be and still hold a cord, the plug, ear buds, and the phone itself.

As for its black and white treatment, I took this photo on a cheap hotel table, with the color of the table top adding nothing to the image. Here I was able to amp the contrast, and take away from the table top, which was distracting in full color.

I have posted other photos from New Mexico, as I have family there and find my way there more than anywhere else I travel. This was from a trip to the Land of Enchantment in March, and I went for a six mile run outside of Taos. As you can see, I pretty much had the road to myself.

The best camera in the world is the one you have with you, and this day was no exception. My Nikon was back at the lodge, and my iPhone was with me. I’m glad I had it, as I really like this shot.
