So pretty much, I almost just cried and spazzed out.

I was carrying a bunch of water bottles out of the bedroom (because we compile them like it’s our job) and I had my iphone tucked under my arm. I felt it slipping (and was predicting the fall… always listen to what your gut tells you. I’ve learned this over the past couple of years) and I knew immediately it wouldn’t make it to the kitchen under my arm. I tried to rush somewhere to set down the water bottles but by that time it had freed itself and catapulted onto the kitchen floor. I stared at it for a minute and let me jaw drop (there I go with the “let me jaw drop” pirate speak again. yarrrr.) I have this pink protective case on it (I really wanted a different color but they didn’t have one) and I figured it would have saved its little electronic life. I go to pick it up and it says “No sim installed”. This shocked the hell out of me. Pssssh, some protective case THAT piece of crap is. Anyway, I didn’t know what to do. An iphone is pretty much a little computer so when there’s a malfunction you have to get more technical with it than a regular cell phone. There is also a chance of permanently damaging it, in which case you will have a $500 glorified paperweight. I couldn’t plug it into my computer because I jailbroke it… last time I made that mistake, I-tunes automatically opened and knew it was modified and ended up blacking it out so I couldn’t use it. (by the way- ziphone. excellent jailbreaker. Just make sure you use the installer the right way or else it breaks… that happened to me the first time) which means I can add 3rd party apps on it.. and it also means that AT&T will not honor the warranty. I conveniently found that out AFTER I jailbroke it. So anyways, taking it to AT&T was out of the question. I searched online and found this neat little tip. By the way, I’m sorry if you had to read this whole entry just to fix this problem, because really… it’s practically a two sentence solution. I really did not know you could do this- as far as I knew, the iphone were not openable (is that a word?) yet and you couldn’t mess with the SIM. There’s a little tiny itty bitty dot by the headphone jack. Take a paper clip (or earring, in my case) and push on it. It pops out a neat little tray that holds your SIM. just take it out and put it back in… and voila! Problem solved. I guess that wasn’t just a two sentence solution, but now you know how to fix the problem. OH!! Make sure you turn your iphone off when you do this (hold down the lock button on top as well as the home button on the face of it) and then turn it back on when you’re done.

I also know there were rumors of a 3G iphone being released at WWDC in June and I’m starting to believe it’s true. <http://www.macrumors.com/2008/05/28/apple-releases-iphone-beta-sdk-6/> The SIM card inside the iphone (as you will see, if you ever encounter this problem or are just weirdly curious and decide to dissect your phone) is a 3G one. There is also code within the hardware that denotes there is, indeed, a sleeping and hidden 3G setting.

On another note, I took an awesome quick run around the lake today. It sure beats the hell out of when I attempted to run in NY around my neighborhood in the freezing ice cold. I also (possibly) have big news coming up, which I will know tomorrow night. I also had a recent photoshoot which I am eagerly awaiting pictures from. I have a few from when we were just messing around with lighting and the backdrop, and even those looked amazing, so I can’t wait to see how the edited ones come out. I may post them on here, I may not… and I will certainly be giving credit to the photographer. I’ll include his information on here. Toodles
