Random plane thoughts

On a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong, did the following things:

• Read a GQ article on losing weight that says fad diets are out, the new diet is…wait for it…Eat Less! But seriously it totally makes sense, dieting should be about overall lifestyle change.
• Learned a new phrase for fan: “picture-kisser”.  This in relation to the enormous tween response to GQ’s earlier article about Robert Pattinson. Guess that makes me an Obama picture-kisser.
• Pondered how much I like Singapore but hate living there. 
• Decided the iPhone 3G, which has been constantly glued to my ears the past week, is the best designed consumer product on the market today.  Of course for serious work I still stick with Windows Mobile, but for weekend fun and just listening to music it is terrific. I am glad I got it at the current iteration, when the various kinks are worked out and a new software version comes out this summer. Things I like about it:
  • The speakers don’t blast music when you unplug the headphones
  • There’s a simple physical flip switch to silence the phone
  • Music actually sounds better.
  • The tons of apps, such as NYT, USA Today, Midomi, Old Camera, etc. etc.
• Realized how much time i have to think when I’m on planes.
