I’m a little weird when it comes to technology: I will almost always refuse to buy into the latest and greatest gadget/website/whatever if I think its too trendy. I guess I have a little bit of a contrarian streak in me. Occasionally, something awesome comes along that makes me change my mind.
Like back in the day when everyone was first getting an iPod, I got a Creative Nomad Jukebox instead. Looking back at it now, it was a pretty irrational choice: sure, it was a bit cheaper, but the jukebox had a crap tiny screen, was way clunkier, and had really crumby syncing software. Eventually, the iTunes music store came out, and I couldn’t hold out any longer.. getting music from anywhere else was too much of a pain at the time.
Today my friend Ian showed me this: http://www.appstorehq.com/dominicanspanishwordoftheday-iphone-1295/app . There’s a fricken iphone app that will give you a Dominican spanish word of the day. How awesome is that?! I haven’t lived in the DR for almost 8 years now, so my Dominican slag is getting mega rusty… I almost didn’t recognize the word in the screenshot! Maybe its finally time for me to get an iPhone?
