 Mon Oct 05, 09 9:15 am Iphone good for kiting |
 |
|
I found that the iphone has enhanced my kiting experience. My company switched from Verizon to AT&T so I got the iphone.
On Verizon, my employees and clients could reach me 24/7 where ever I was, making it such a buzz kill I stopped kitting and skiing because all I did was work anyway. Now with my shitty AT&T service, killer aps, my nights and weekends have become mine again.
Thank you AT&T for being so shitty. My kiting has gotten so much better.
It is all about looking at the glass is 1/2 full not empty.

| I found ATT coverage to be better than verizon throughout the gorge and coast. Had both carriers at the same time for my last job. But whatever, who really gives a shit, its just a phone. I do recall a time when I didn't always carry around a phone like it was some kind of umbilical cord. |

What is kitting? Is that where you kite and knit at the same time? Sounds pretty sweet

Wanting good coverage in remote areas is not because you want to work in remote areas but becasue you want to give others the impression you are working when you're in remote areas. Oh, and to check readings and forecasts. 
I swear never to become like *some people* that suddenly can't go 5 mintues without checking their email or texting someone. Damn, that texting is F'ed up.
Verizons got me by the contract nads until May...  |

h20 audio is coming out in Nov/Dec with the new headphones and waterproof cases that will allow you to talk when riding. At the aWSI trade show, we also saw that Gath is developing a new helmet with this feature in it as well.It seems that Gath has had a run on helmets not because of increased desire for safety but increased desire for kiters to take pictures and videos of themselves with GoPro's and other like devices:-)

FUCKING AWESOME!! Now I can twitter updates while I ride. Seriously though, the day you answer the phone while your kiting should be penciled in on your calender as the official day that you started "missing the point". |
