Show us a sign that Christmas is a month away.
I'm working on GiftList, the socially networked shared wishlist service I created for my family to use each Christmas. Every year I try to add some significant new feature. Last year it was Amazon integration. This year, as you might expect, I've decided to create an iPhone interface for it. It's really not that hard, especially if you cheat and look at the css Walt created for the very nice Typepad iPhone app.

I ordered the machine on October 19th, 2004, during game 6 of the Red Sox-Yankees ALCS, the infamous "bloody sock" game. It's held up quite well, although it has accumulated some annoying issues, like a missing f6 key, half-torn-off 6 key, flaky headphone jack and it won't burn CDs any more. If I were still consulting I would probably have upgraded, but since I only use it for personal stuff now, it doesn't seem worth the cost. Yet. Though the new Macbooks are awfully tempting. And I keep hearing rumors about a forthcoming Apple ultra-lite...
