Happy iCal day everyone!
Today’s the day the iCal icon in Mac OS X doesn’t change when iCal is started — the static icon always displays July, 17 although the date changes to the actual date when iCal runs. I wonder if Apple finally finds a way to display a dynamic, up-to-da(y)te icon in Leopard. Until then, I keep MagiCal in my menu bar which does a perfect job.

Danke. Ich verzichte.
You just got yourself a nice iPhone and are upset because of the lame speed of your AT&T EDGE connection? Move to Mountain View, CA where Google provides its free WiFi network almost everywhere in the city!
No, I’m just kidding. You don’t have to move unless you really want to, I’m sure you’ll find a lot of open WiFi hotspots in your neighborhood, too — but consider living in Mountain View if you get a job offer from Google, Mozilla, Sun, Yahoo, … etc. 
This city is just a great place to live. And surfing the web over Google’s WiFi (the unencrypted SSID is broadcasted, but I also managed to use their WPA2 encrypted network) on your brand-new iPhone is a lot of fun! (No, this still is not my own iPhone. Chain-yourself-to-AT&T issue. Will consider getting one when they introduce a 3G/UMTS version in Europe)

Oh, and by the way: Sushi came up with some interesting calculations on wasting money while waiting for the iPhone.

Welcome, iPhone.
(If you’ve never bought an Apple product: that’s actually the facial expression when you open the package and start using your new toy for the first time!)
I have to say: it’s damn sexy. It’s amazing. It’s just. Awesome!
A colleague of mine waited in line at the San Francisco Apple store since about 7:30am to get the iPhone and brought it back to the office. After playing with it for a while, we decided to drive to the nearby AT&T store to get another one (for another colleague). There were only a few people waiting (a lot less than in front of the Apple store in downtown Palo Alto) and they seemed to have a massive stock of iPhones there (we went there at 8pm).
I was so close to get one for myself, but unfortunately there are some disadvantages:
So, no iPhone for myself, but at least I can play with those that are around in the office
