Wow. What a weekend.. and it isn’t even over yet.

For my birthday, I skipped traveling Disneyland by myself and earned overtime pay by working the iPhone launch day. It was like going to a fair! Everyone was so excited to get the new device, and as usual, actually playing with the 3gs seemed so magical.

We’ve learned a lot from the past years of product launches. I think it went INCREDIBLY smooth. People outside didn’t have to wait that long, and the transactions seemed a lot easier.

Today I bought myself the new phone too. I justified the purchase even though I don’t qualify for the lowest incentive price. I had to pay $500 for my 32GB phone! I’ll bet I can get at LEAST $200 on ebay for the 16GB II had.. and the new Video capabilities? = AMAZING!!! I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am about all this!

Today though I started to get a headache around hour 10.. but now after a nap in my car, I’m home and ready to read a couple internet articles before I go to sleep.

Pretty awesome.
