Your video is one for the time capsule, Mr. Dvorak.
Hopefully people in the future can figure out how to decode our video formats.. and the physical media itself somehow survives the time.
“See, Timmy: this is how our ‘ancestors’ wasted their time.”
Is this the beginnings of the next Michael Moore ?
Next chapter: people using their iPhones… while driving.
And Cameo by John’s best friend and iPhone fanboy number one: Scott Bourne!
Where’s Woz?
I don’t get it — Watching that video (which was an insteresting social vignette btw) all I thought was all those peopel just have $600 + to spend —- on a phone! I need a better job.
Great video John. It can even be used to play the following drinking games:
1) Spot the Homeless Bums
&
2) Spot the overly-obnoxious gadget-geek/Apple fan boys
W00t!!!

Jimi Hendrix comes to town and may not ever come back. So if you liked Hendrix, falling in line was your only option. And yeah, it’s juvenile.
But if juvenile today means standing in line for something that will be available anyway, you start to wonder.
I can get hold of the iPhone, PS3, XBox, etc., without having to wait in line. Except that “I won’t ge first.”
Now if a famous rock band came to the Philippines today, and I were a big fan, I may not have a choice but to line up as I may never see them again. That at least is understandable juvenile behavior (and at 41, if I had to line up, I’d probably use the time to do something else anyway).
