A 2010 retrospectum
2010 has been quite a year for me. I got into the best shape of my life, we added a fantastic little fireball of a kitten to our home, I took a record number of photos, bought my first new car.

new iphone huh
So the new iphone has video chat. It seems like people aren’t even willing to do regular chat anymore, and opt for the less personal TXT Msgs (SRSly). Maybe apple should work on developing a communication even more devoid of personal interaction than TXT. Perhaps something with pulses of dashes and dots?
