Wuv. Twue Wuv.

I was thinking, last night/this morning, that our society's kinda depressing. There's that inherent hope that there is true love (ok, this idea was actually born out of watch Princess Bride again. That's a good movie). We have movies/music/books/Santa Claus/everything tell us that we can find true love. It's out there. It's somewhere. It's destiny. It's fate. Yet, our society is not actually open to true love. We have age restrictions (a 30 year old dating a 20 year old? Bad), we have class restrictions (are you and your companion in the same tax bracket?), we have race restricitions (y'all know this one), we have gender restrictions (go gay marriage! one day, it'll happen), etc. We do whatever can, as a society, to limit searches for your potential life compaion and true love candidate down to a small select group of people. Once you've eliminated the geographical impossiblities of finding that ONE, we're down to like 10 people that could be true love. What's up with that? It's kind of depressing.

On a completely unrelated point, Nokia's really starting to push the boundaries of the conventional idea of a phone. Case in point, the Acibo:
Nokia Acibo
This little crazy ball has a projection keyboard and is recharged by bouncing it. Looking further in the phone mag website, there's the Nokia Wristband:
Nokia Wristband
This little crazy wristband can have preprogrammed movements associated with SMS messages so that you don't have to type messages, you can just gesture.
This may just seem gimicky but a gold star to Nokia for innovation. I hope more people seek to "break the Matrix" with other products.

For now, that's it. For later, I hope more. Speak like Yoda, I do, yes...
