From Fake Steve…

Socialist Canadian and iPhone nerd Shawn King appeared in a photo gallery posted to Fox News today about the repulsive nerdiness stinking up Apple and AT&T stores all over the country.

Congratulations (?) Shawn.

By the way, Shawn is from Westport, not Newport.

Peter Cohen of Macworld sent me a photograph today of which I was previously unaware. It was taken during the January 2005 MWSF keynote, when Peter and Corey (sorry, I’m not familiar with who Corey is) sat in front of me. I got caught in the background making some kind of face, which is no surprise. I’m not someone who photographs well, so I usually figure that I might as well make a face or do something dumb because the picture is going to suck anyway. This is probably another instance of such.

Apparently my face was good enough to be used for a banner linking to a private site, the name of which has been obscured in the graphic below.

Thanks to Peter for passing that along.

Monday was when I finally let six months of pent-up exasperation over the iPhone explode into the world in the form of 68-pixel tall angry words interspersed with a quiet voice that said, just calm down. But today over at Fake Steve Jobs, I saw the picture that sums up this whole awful ordeal for me. This is exactly the kind of person I had in mind when I wrote my bitter screed Monday. In his condition. Doing exactly what he’s doing.

For the love of God people, it’s just a damn phone! It’s not worth having pictures of your naked, fat, hairy body all over the web, holding up a newspaper with an article that reinforces the readers’ already negative opinion of you. Have some damn dignity.

Here are some more pictures of the continuing patio construction. The crushed limestone has been laid and the leveling gravel goes between that and the bricks. We’ve been delayed a bit by the weather, but I’ll be grilling burgers on July 4.
