The Wannabe

The Wordpress iPhone app has been released! Yah! That means I can blog anywhere that I have cell phone service (and can even save drafts on my phone when I don’t have service). So in theory, never again will I have to say, “I have to remember to blog about this when I get home.” In fact, right now I’m typing this while sitting in the break room at work.

On a different note, I just won an auction on eBay! It really is like they say in the commercials; it’s more fun when you win it. There’s something exciting about the thought that there could be others sitting and watching the exact same item I’m watching. This auction was fairly uneventful though. There was no bidding frenzy during the last few seconds and even if there had been, my first bid was the highest I (really Shanan) was willing to go.

So what did I win? The first seven seasons of Friends on DVD! In case you didn’t know, I’m a bit of a Friends fanatic. I never really watched it while it was on TV but after a few reruns I was hooked. Shanan and I watched every episode from start to finish back when we had a Blockbuster Online subscription. Now we’ll be able to do it again! Shanan is much less excited than I am.

“Why just the first seven seasons” you ask? Because it was more strategic. eBay has dozens of copies of all ten seasons up for auction at any given time. The problem is that these usually end in last-minute bidding frenzies that push the price up to $110 or more. This is quite a steal considering that a retail copy usually goes for around $200. Still, I didn’t have $110. That’s when I noticed that lots of six or seven seasons were going for $60-$70 with only one or two bids and I went for that option. I still got them for about $10 per season, but without the bidding war I totally beat the system! Kinda…

Oh, by the way, I placed my eBay bid using the iPhone eBay app. I love my iPhone! That is all.
