As a long-time enemy of Apple, I can’t help but give a standing ovation to someone bold enough to point out the many, many flaws with the iPhone:
10+ Reasons Why You Should Hate the iPhone
The iPhone represents everything that’s wrong with Apple, and I would happily encourage everyone I know to educate themselves before forking out hundreds of dollars for a stylish but ultimately mediocre device.

My apologies to anyone who has hit a 404 (broken link) on this site in the last 72 hours. I recently fixed a problem I’ve been working on for some time (many thanks to my host company’s technical support, who were surprisingly useful!) and this site is now successfully associated with www.tannerhelland.com. Of course, I didn’t anticipate that with this fix would come a host of problems related to absolute links in WordPress posts.
You know - the old story of fixing one problem and causing two in the process. In this case, I fixed one problem and caused 500. Oops.
I’ve temporarily solved the problem by reproducing all linked files in a temporary directory that mirrors the old absolute links, and in time I’ll get around to solving this properly. But all links should now be functional - and if they’re not, please let me know. I hate 404’s.
Sorry for the trouble!

Like what you see? Hate what you see? Lemme know! This week I should be back to posting content, and sorry that I didn’t get much up last week - but plowing through someone else’s CSS can be a nightmare…
