If you follow my blog at all you might notice that I completely missed September, hereby officially ending the "Holy Crap, It Is" series of blogs. If you enjoyed these I am quite sorry. This past month I do not even remember much of. Been mostly busy, and when I was not busy I was tired. Somtimes I am even both tired and busy at the same time.

Anyway, I would like to talk about one of my favourite features of the iPhone now - the maps. Picture this: it is early evening, I am alone (usually (ok, actually always) true), tired, and hell hungry. I cannot be arsed to cook so I think I'll order carry out. Chicken sounds good...

So I hit up the iPhone maps and do a local search for "buffalo wild wings".

It drops pins on all the matching restaurants in the area (and then some). From experience I know that the pin closest to me is not really Buffalo Wild Wings, just some "Buffalo Wings" place.

I tap the second to nearest pin, which then presents me with information about this location.

I tap the number and the bloody thing actually calls the number right then and there without asking if I am sure (or maybe if I want to just mark it in my address book or something). In this case I roll with it and order my chicken. Bucket of 24 boneless wings with Asian Zing sauce. That should last me a few days. The girl on the other end (who happens to sound fairly cute) tells me my order will be ready in 10 minutes.

When the call ends the device takes me back to the info screen about the location I selected on the map, which also happens to present me with a button to get directions. Since it would be nice to know how to get there, I tap it.

It is going to take me 10 minutes to get there? Kick ass that is perfect timing.

So I get in my car and go. I'm the blue dot. Woo, about to drive under the highway. I always enjoy that part of the trip.

And here I am at Buffalo Wild Wings. I figured I would take a photo so that I can set it as the icon when I add Buffalo Wild Wings to my phonebook. The girl at the counter did end up being fairly cute (and quite unavailable).

So now I am enjoying my boneless chicken. I love boneless chicken. It is just like normal chicken but without the bones.

And yes that was a picture of my cat on the phone lock screen. If you think that is sad (and are female) feel free to send me your photos and I will feature them on my iPhone wallpaper. I will even let you let me take you out for dinner and a movie - now that is a deal.
