Oh, in case it was missed in the previous comments. Canada won 7 – 4
That means, in a future episode, we’ll hear the dulcet tones of EssBee and JB ;)
December 31st, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Looking forward to those recordings.
And. . . .. I just got a mysterious package from Elk River. . . . . Thanks!
OK – Happy New Year, everyone!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Happy New Year, Jack. (still 2 1/2 hours away here)
December 31st, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Same here – but leaving in a few for Evo’s party.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I think we’re going to watch a movie now, then call it a night.
Party safe, all!

Happy New Year deadpanites.
My condolences Van.

T minus 30 minutes until the new year here in California.
CP: Well, I was trying to play Escape Pod #184 (Mur’s Christmas story for this year), but I can’t concentrate with other people talking to each other around me, so I keep pausing it.
January 1st, 2009 at 12:00 am
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Bedtime for me, now. :-)
January 1st, 2009 at 2:45 am
Happy New Year from in the new year. It’s 3:45am here. I am going to sleep so I can get up in 3 hours to go get my kids from the babysitter.
And yes, it was all very worth it!
January 1st, 2009 at 4:02 am
All the best everyone and thanks Jack for playing the segment,.
January 1st, 2009 at 5:50 am
Ah, crap. Okay, I’ll sing.
Happy New Year! Hope you are hanging in there, Van.
January 1st, 2009 at 7:16 am
Van – I cannot imagine what you are going through…I hope you realize that the Deadpan community is here for you.
Happy New Year gang…I am going to stop saying the “Fuck ” and focus on making the coming year better the best that I can.
(i.e. done focusing on the past and looking to the future – I can change one of them.)
January 1st, 2009 at 7:55 am
Best wishes to all in this New Year. As with all of Deadpan, my condolences, Van, to you and your family.
We spent the eve hosting most of our nieces and nephews while my wife’s siblings were out at various events. Impressively, all the kids were still wide awake at midnight and my wife had horns, hats and streamers for them to make a mess of the room with at midnight. We managed to have a good time and I didn’t even have anything to drink.
I did spend some of it playing and chatting online with some gaming friends. A couple made comments about how dumb the whole New Year’s business is. I must disagree. Sure, as far as the stars and planets are concerned, we’re at just another point on the orbit. But, for people, it’s a psychological opportunity to close a door behind us and open another in front of us. Even if we don’t achieve all that we set out for in 2009, it’s still important to take the opportunity to reflect on where we’ve come from, and make the effort to adjust our course during the next year.
May your winds be favorable this year, Deadpan.
January 1st, 2009 at 7:57 am
And, speaking of favorable, Secret Santa swung through Minnesota this year to bring me some authentic local goodies. Many thanks, JB.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:22 am
As I often say – well said, Ed. Hopefully there will be some positive significance to this new turning of the page. First song played on the iPod this morning: “Reborn” by Scar Symmetry. Hopefully the song title bodes well.
And Evo’s party was fun! Cool seeing Dan and Cj (and everyone) there.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:25 am
Look … it’s a New Year.
Haven’t had a chance to listen to the show yet.
Just checking in to say I made it into the new year with the rest of you.
January 1st, 2009 at 9:45 am
Good Morning and I’m looking forward to the new year. I’m not one to make the resolutions, but there are definitely some changes I’d like to see in myself this coming year and I will make it happen.
It was a good party with a lot of great laughs and we got to meet some fun new people. I swear I was sitting with Scott Bakula.
Jack sightings are always a big highlight for us :). It was definitely awesome getting to hang out. :D
January 1st, 2009 at 9:55 am
Damn Jack sightings….
I always miss those.
January 1st, 2009 at 10:32 am
But you see Jack every day. . . .
OK, off to see if the sports bar will agree to play the Winter Classic.
January 1st, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Good Afternoon, Deadpan!
Spent the morning buying groceries since I won’t be able to tomorrow. (month end…work…ugh)
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. While I believe in the “celebration” of the new year, I don’t believe that making half baked promises at the start of the year is the best way to improve oneself. Usually these resolutions end up being forgotten or left on the wayside. I believe, if you want to do something, you will either do it, or not and it won’t take the new year to get you to do it. It’s something you have to be ready to do – no matter what time of the year it is.
January 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
To me, the new year is going through the previous year’s files and deciding what I need to keep for tax purposes and what I can file away in the basement.
January 1st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
J0e, it looks like Sweden and Canada are only going to meet up in a medal game.
January 1st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Happy New Year!!!
January 1st, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Spoken like a true finance person, Bunny. Going through 2008 files is on my list for the weekend.
My parents just took off and now we’re trying to cool down the house a bit. Older folks get cold.

January 1st, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I agree about resolutions. Enjoy New Year’s for the metaphorical reboot that it is – but don’t swear to some change you won’t stick to, based on the calendar date. My $0.02.

Just had a damned fine brisket dinner at Charlie the Beer Guy’s house. He’s known for his beer, but damn – the man can cook.
So I was at a NYE party last night, went to a bar this morning to watch the hockey game, then had some good brews at Charlie’s this evening. I think I’m gonna stick to water for the next few days.

OH, just as a hint, Van. It’s not Planet of the Apes.

I see the board is hopping this morning :)
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:14 am
Looks like everyone is getting a late start this morning – I know I am.
Good morning, Deadpan!
My agenda for today: go order new glasses, run into the office to ship CA state adoption materials, buy new curtains. Ambitious? Maybe.
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:24 am
woa woa woa …
Curtains? Don’t you think that’s pushing it just a little too far EssBee?
Pace yourself, 363 more of these to go.

My husband has this strange new habit. If he sees me doing something interesting, he’ll pat me on the head.
I think, two weeks off is just a little much and he needs to get back to work.
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:48 am
I overslept. I’m late. I’m late. I’m late. Where’s Alice? Dammit. Actually I’m not late. I’m just not going to get as much done as I wanted to today. I think I actually AM Alice.

Are you in your own little wonderland CJ?
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:09 am
Anyone know how long your supposed to cook bacon in a microwave oven?
I’m going to go for 2 minutes
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Can you still get that paper that converts some of the mw energy into heat?
It was good for cooking bacon in microwave ovens.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:15 am
TEB, yes. I live here in my wonderland and it’s nice here.
J0e, I have no idea on the bacon in the micro. I know you have to put them in paper towels. That’s as much as I can help.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:20 am
2 minutes didn’t do it.
Went for another 2.
Put the strips ontop of two paper towels (on a plate) and then covered it all with another paper towel.
greasy mess. seemes to have cooked but kinda rubbery.
skillet is best

My front door is frozen shut! What’s that all about?
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:51 am
First guess would be extreme cold. Possibly with water involved, or more precisely, ice.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:55 am
It makes the term “stuck at home” literal in my case.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:56 am
And yes “extreme cold” is correct. -24 C; -37 with the wind chill right now.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:59 am
… or maybe a run in with the “Ice Mizar”

Yeah … that guy.
You didn’t happen to hear singing and dancing last night, did you?
January 2nd, 2009 at 9:28 am
I think I tuned it out because I didn’t want to know, JB.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:21 am
One advantage of having the hubby home is HE gets to go out and shovel the walk in this stupidly cold weather :)
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:15 am
According to the noon news, Calgary has had four murders so far this year. Woo hoo?
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:16 am
He’s too much.
j0e, you seem to be conducting a lot of microwave experiments lately. I’m curious/nervous to know what’s next.
January 2nd, 2009 at 11:32 am
I left it for you to say Jack. Watch some good hockey recently, then?
January 2nd, 2009 at 12:27 pm
So PG Holyfield’s segment on Evo@11 is in no way a sad rip off of the Wingin’ It Recap. But then the whole thing is a sad rip off of Wingin’ It, so why should I be surprised.
January 2nd, 2009 at 1:09 pm
^ I like Evo@11 anyway. Based on what I heard about Wingin’ It, namely, that it was too long, rambling and pointless, I think keeping the show under 30 minutes is an excellent idea. It forces the show to be better than Wingin’ It was, because it forces the hosts to say what they have to say right off the bat.

TEB – RE: Murder rate
What is the population of Calgary? Given that this is only the 2nd day, is this a sustainable rate? Will they have to bus in victims from the surrounding areas?
So many questions.

I’m the guy who, if he could find a used microwave oven at a garage sale for $20, would have it in his garage for the sole purpose of zapping things!

January 2nd, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I have to agree that the short length of Evo@11 is a major plus point.
January 2nd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Something I never really appreciated till I listened to a podcast that lasted for 2 hours and 21 minutes.
January 2nd, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Van, I think my husband and I remain on the bad side of podcast listeners since we tend to overshoot our hour almost every week. Short listens really are the best.
Srsly… why would anyone want to listen to me ramble on about Star Trek and other nonsense for an hour a week. That’s just crazy talk.

January 3rd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
That’s very true. I think I’ve liked them all to a greater or lessor degree. They’ve all brought something different to the table and you have to take it at that.

You know, I bought a dutch oven before the holidays solely for two recipes that I was interested in trying. Now, I’m using it for a bunch of other things. Turns out that it was a really useful purchase. :)
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:12 pm
OK, everyone stop that.
January 3rd, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I would like to hear more about the stuff you’ve made in the dutch oven, ditto.

Yes, ditto, please share. I received two of them for Christmas. What should I make?

Still very late:
Justa Joe asked:
“Is there a word (and if not … can we please create one) that means,
“I have heard what you just told me so you don’t need to say it again, it’s just that I have absolutely nothing to say about the topic and would rather not just make inane comments about it that would lead to yet another pointless conversation that would best be reserved for a Cohen Brothers film.†?”
I was going to say, “Whatever.” but it looks like you are looking for a polite response. “Huh” should work, but it doesn’t. “I heard you” is still considered rude by most people. “Ahhhh” can be taken as agreement.
I dunno Joe, but it would be nice if we did have just such a word. Or course, just wanting to use that word would be rude by the same family members that I would want to use it on. Grrr. No win.
January 4th, 2009 at 6:25 am
Awesome picture, Hottie.
ditto, I also got a dutch oven for xmas — what are you making?

Leave it to CJ to give me a disturbing image to start off my Sunday :)
January 4th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Morning. I’ve tried 3 recipes from the Cooks Illustrated 2008 cook book using the dutch oven I bought. I got the 6 3/4 quart oval one from Le Creuset.
The first recipe was for carnitas (May/June issue, page 12). It turned out very well, so I’ll be making it again. I liked it so much I doubt I’ll tinker with the recipe.
The second recipe was for bread (Jan/Feb issue, page 18). Since the recipe calls for a temperature of 500, I had to replace the handle with a stainless steel one.
http://www.chefsresource.com/le-creuset-stainless-steel-replacement-knob.html
The bread was very good using a standard unbleached flour. For my second attempt, I mixed some good fine-ground whole wheat flour with the flour I used the first time (50/50). It was also very good, though I might bump up the yeast just a tiny bit. For both trials, I used the full 18 hour first raise time.
The third recipe was French Chicken in a Pot (Jan/Feb issue, page 8). I didn’t quite follow the recipe, since I only had half a chicken already cut up into parts. Still, it turned out quite well. This is a recipe where you do not get a crisp skin. I don’t think that matters much since you really should carve the chicken meat after resting and serve with the au jus. I discarded the skin.
I’ve spent a lot of fun time in the kitchen the past two weeks. Too bad it is back to work soon.
January 4th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Now I’m hungry, ditto.
I’m a few minutes away from putting my citrus-brined turkey in the oven. We’re having that w/ stuffing, sweet potatoes, and salad to spend the last day of vacation in style.
Tomorrow, back to Evil reality with an early flight to Orange County, CA.

Well yeah.. sharp pointy teeth and blow jobs do not really go together

Jack just said “hump” and “lay up” together. Heh
Hugh sez: you just like vampire stories with hard cocks
LOL! Ok yes, I do like vampire porn, but thats not the only vampire stories I read

heh. You so need to capture Hugh’s Rick Astley dancing on film.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

As for Pip – I do think her “Chasing the Bard” story is one of the better ones that I’ve heard in the podcast realm.
January 4th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
So, the Direct TV guy comes out Friday and puts a shiny new dish on the house and now we’re getting all the HDTV goodness we can handle. I had thought the upconversion of the standard def picture that we were getting was already pretty good….until you change over to the HD version of the same channel. Wow!
Today, I’m flipping through the guide and see that Spike HD is running the later Star Wars movies. I missed episode 1 but recorded 2 and 3 today. Just finished watching “Attack of the Clones.” While it looked great in HD, I had forgotten just how truly awful it was. The story is just absurd on many levels and the dialogue is just a pain to listen to. I recommend watching this one with the volume muted.
January 4th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
I was ok with most of Attack of the Clones. It was mainly the love scenes that were ridiculous. Especially in that one by the fireplace, where she’s wearing the dominatrix outfit, telling him they can’t be lovers.
January 4th, 2009 at 10:15 pm

MD – At some point in the past, we here at the Deadpan had renamed Wordpress the “fucktard bot” for reasons that have now apparently become clear to you.
Hmmm, you suppose that contributed to our “low brow” cred ?
January 5th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Ed – I think Evil Inc. has a song to help remind their employees how to do their job … it might help you get back in the work mindset. Just think about -

and pulling whiskers off kittens.

So it turns out, there’s an outside chance I might be going to the Disc World convention in Arizona on the first weekend of September.
A friend of mine wants to go and is hoping to drag me along if she does. I won’t know for sure until closer to the summer. She’s immigrating to Canada from the US (married a CDN), and can’t really leave the country until her paperwork goes through. It should be through early spring, but… If it happens on time, then we probably will be going to the convention.
January 5th, 2009 at 8:26 am
September is a nice time to visit AZ. It’s 41F out there right now and that’s too cool for me. Usually after Valentine’s Day it stops getting cooler than the 60’s. I can’t wait.

Is art YES! But only if done to a mime who is blocking a busy public walkway while pretending to be trapped in a glass box.

..and if he actually was trapped in a glass box..would that be horror?

If it were a mime in and actual glass box and it was slowly filling with something like, let’s say “teen pop singers” … then it would be Horror.
Unless it was like skanky, used to be teen pop singers – then it would be camp … probably a Roger Waters film.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Now, if the pop singers were undead (if it was Britney Spears how would you know?) it would probably be a George Romero film.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I’m looking forward to justa JOe’s upcoming zombie flick.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
… if the undead pop singer were to punch the mime in his family jewels … you are talking a “dark comedy” probably written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.
Which brings us back pretty full circle.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Actually, the one I was going to suggest as MY screenplay for this – was deemed to low brow for even the Deadpan. :}
January 5th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
So when you kick a mime in the jewels, do their eyes just bulge while remaining completely silent?
January 5th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Too low brow? Like a goatee?

Hey Pan!
Ended up not going out to martial arts tonight so turned on the Canada/Sweden gold medal game.
Canada is up 1 – 0 with 5 minutes left to play in the first. Sweden is on the powerplay.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
First period is over. Canada leads 1 – 0
This game isn’t as high scoring as the Canada/US game
January 5th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
The Sweds are distracting with their blond hair and blue eyes
January 5th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
I think it’s more like they’re distractED, J0e, since they are losing :)
January 5th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Besides, how can you tell their hair and eye colour under the helmet?
Do I sense you being in your own little fantasy world? And since we are talking hockey players, what does that say about you?
January 5th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Stupid Swede goalie. Ran out to play the puck and ended up getting hit by a player (by accident). Swedish player attacked the CDN player for it and will now get a penalty.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
No penalty? Really? It was so obvious a penalty – it’s on!
January 5th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
Hah – Canada scored anyway.
Now 2 – 0
January 5th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Sweden keeps icing the puck. They’re never going to get anywhere if they keep doing that (keep up the good work guys ;) )
January 5th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Sweden now on the powerplay – 10:55 left in the second
January 5th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Every time the Swede player who didn’t get the penalty touches the puck, the crowd boos.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
And Francois Beliveautiercroixvin dekes around Brjornengen Farvugnasummansunovik – - he shoots he scores!
Just thought I’d drop in and make classless jokes about names from segments of other cultures. Carry on.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Hey Jack!
This has been a very chippy game so far. Both teams seem to have their tempers up.
January 5th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Canada has had three penalties in a row. What’s with that? Luckily Sweden has yet to score.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Another Canadian penalty. They’re not going to stay in the lead long if they keep doing that.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
So Canada has not played the last 8 minutes without being a man down. So far, though, Sweden hasn’t scored. I don’t know if that says more about Canada or Sweden
last minute of play.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Sorry, last minute of play in the second period

January 5th, 2009 at 6:07 pm

About bloody time. Last second of play Sweden got a penalty. Canada will start period 3 with a powerplay.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Holy Cow! One of the CDN players is 6′7″ Why isn’t he playing basketball?
January 5th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
This is Canada…
Our PM is attending the game, with his son. No (noticeable) guards around. A fan comes up (half naked and painted gold) and gets his picture taken with the PM. No problem. I’d like to see that in a lot of other countries.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
First minute of the third period. Canada scores a powerplay goal.
Are you warming up your vocal chords, J0e?
January 5th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Sweden is on their 5th powerplay of the game. They’re not very good on the powerplay
January 5th, 2009 at 6:39 pm

January 5th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
I answer my own question. Empty net goal. Score now 4 – 1 Canada, just under 2 minutes left in the game.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Thanks for the running commentary, TEB. :)
January 5th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Why did Sweden still have an empty net when they were down by 3? Score now 5 – 1 Canada. Less than 30 seconds of play.

I have always been amazed at how completely intolerant the human body is to internal temperature variations, given how much OTHER abuse you can put yourself through and still be okay.

In the end, the one who did the best was the one whose internal temperatures fluctuated the least. The one whose temps made the most extreme shifts actually had to leave ‘cuz it was killing him.
Wish I could remember what it was called.
I asked my brains and she said she doesn’t remember watching it with me.

Oooh, I love that Fear the Cute Ones pic. I’ve had it hanging in my room for the last 3 years. It took me several months to read up to that point… I enjoyed the story, but let it get away from me afterwards.

Well, worst case, between unemployment and our savings, I could last five months without having to change houses etc. And the word I’m hearing is that three months from now, the hiring situation will improve. But I don’t think our firm will last two more months without some major changes. =p

Nomad – I believe that was either a NOVA or a National Geographic. If it was the one I saw, it was about researchers trying to figure out why some people just die while climbing mountains.
The sent some medical researchers with a team that was climbing Mt. McKinley in Alaska. The had indeed given the climbers some little “probes” to swallow that transmitted basic medical data to them.
It’s really cold that high up so you bundle up real warm. Then you start exerting yourself on the climb and inside all that warm gear, you actually build up enough heat to sweat. Then you stop to rest and it is 20 below so you cool off really fast … like in a minute or so. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Turns out that rapid changes in your core temperature is indeed a bad thing. Can cause nasty physiological stuff that can kill you but can also cause mental impairments to things like “basic judgment”. Turns out, having impaired judgment while climbing a mountain can also kill you.
Go figure.

iTunes is already offering DRM free upgrades of songs for reasonable prices. The songs will be in better quality.
Plus, the “Id Engager” video from Of Montreal is free on iTunes.
January 6th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
upgrades?
does this mean they won’t offer “un-drm infected replacements of tunes we’ve already purchased?
January 6th, 2009 at 8:31 pm

Justa Joe – That sounds like the right one. Although my take-away from it was more random. It seemed to me that there was no explicit reason why some of the individuals didn’t seem to suffer the interior temperature extremes. (An example of magic in the real world?)
iTunes DRM-free – I guess I don’t have a valid reason to detest the iTunes store now. I have to decide if I want to be sensible and just get over it, or be the crabby hermit and hate iTunes unreasonably. I’m leaning towards the second option.
January 6th, 2009 at 11:51 pm

As for iTunes, since I don’t buy music from Apple (prefer to buy CDs when I go to gigs), even the change to DRM is not going to convince me to change my music buying habits.

Once I found Amazon’s MP3 store and how easy it is to buy from, I pretty well stopped ever looking at the Itunes store for music. Unless they’re going to get competitive on pricing, I doubt things will change for me.

Amazon MP3 is the way to go. I’ll only buy from Apple if the pricing gets competitive or there is a song only they have as Ed said.
January 7th, 2009 at 7:34 am
My purchases are still mostly CDs. For mp3s, it all depended on who had what I wanted for the best price without DRM. Only as a last resort would I buy anything that has DRM on iTunes.

I’ve spent about $2.97 on downloaded songs in the past few years. I was all set to be an iTunes Store regular, but they pooped the bed. Amazon showed a little more class and respect for the customer, and so they won out and still win out, for me.
If I really like the artist – and I feel confident that there will be more than 1 or 2 good tunes on the album, I’ll still buy the clunky obsolete physical CD.

It’s actually a little tough for my boss to give a review. She’s in Ontario, I’m in Alberta. We actually only see each other once a year or so. Really all she has to go on is whether I get the job done and if it’s accurate. Everything else is guesswork.
January 7th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
woot on the review, Bunny!
I’m srsly tempted to post “Firsties!” on all of Jason C’s flickr pics. (He used to hang out here, but he’d always get cranky if anyone said “Firsties!”.) I’m following him on Twitter, but I don’t think he followed me back. lol. Oh well. We’ll always have his artmashes.

Okay I need a bit of iTunes advice.
Ed has already told me how to transfer my podcast list to another computer (my netbook in my case).
If I authorize the netbook will iTunes copy the apps I’ve installed on the iPhone to the netbook or will it wipe them when I try and sync the iPhone on the netbook?
January 7th, 2009 at 2:59 pm

Heh. Jason was a pretty cool kid.
I think some of the early episodes’ conversations survived the great server crash of ‘08, if you’re ever bored/nostalgic enough to dig through the archives.
January 7th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Van, I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you on that one. But, I’ll be curious of the answer as I’m getting more and more likely to succumb to Iphone lust. I’m hoping that I can at least hold out for the 3rd Generation.
Which leads me to wonder what they’ll call it. Even though the current one is the 2nd Generation and would have been called 2G in the Ipod naming convention, they call it 3G because of it’s 3G wireless capability. So, it’s unlikely that they can call the next one 3G.
And no, I have no particular knowledge of a 3rd generation Iphone. But, I expect they will continue the yearly upgrade (which is actually a pretty long cycle in the cell phone business) and release a new one this Summer.
January 7th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Oh, and JJ, the email has been received. Sadly, gmail, hotmail, and yahoo mail are all blocked at my company so I can’t check those accounts during the day…..unless I get an Iphone.
