I am a little worried. I'm off to a hot, hostile and sandy place soon. Its not the place that's worrying me though, Its stemming my boredom that is worrying me. If I'm bored at the moment I will whip out the iPhone and have a read of a few passages of Sherlock Holmes, throw a few long ones in Madden 10, destroy a few structures in Crush The Castle, or just simply catch up with the latest news, stocks and reports with the fantastic Financial Times app. But when I reach this hot, hostile and sandy place I will be iPhone-less as all mobile communications are banned. An option would be to buy an iPod touch, but then when would I ever use that back in the UK? The big question is, what did I do before iPhones?
Now I can take my MacBook, but there is only a certain amount of Civilization 4 you can play before you go mad. There are only a certain amount of 'diaries' you can write before you go mad. There are only a certain amount of scathing email/forum posts/books you can write before someone in the chain of command looks at it and says 'Stop that'. So I need some creativity ideas to keep me going for around 10 weeks. The gym will be used fully during that time but I would like to do something to help pass the slow moments, the moments away form the aircraft when it's all nice and calm.
All else fails, smuggle the phone out and leave it on airplane mode.
