D'oh!
When Joel handed over the keys to the blog, he mentioned that it would be cool if I could find some photos or videos to post on the site. Spice things up a bit.
He also happened to mention that if I posted any photos or videos of him, he would make sure that I never find work in this town again.
So I've found a middle ground. Joel, meet the Simpsonizer:
The resemblance is uncanny.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to answer all of those who have asked me if I actually look like the cartoon character at the top of the Editorialist blog.
The answer, of course, is no. I am balding, not bald. A much more accurate rendition:
In any event, I would encourage all of you Boodlers to head on over to the Simpsonize Me site. If you so please, post the url to your final rendition in the comments section. If we all can't hang out in the real world, we might as well spend some time together in Springfield.

Death by iPhone
I have an iPhone. If I wanted to, I could be blogging this very post (or is it posting to this very blog?) with my iPhone, which means that the phrase "Sent from my iPhone" could be attached to bottom of my post, as it is with every e-mail I send from it. And those four words pack a lot of punch. More than once I've received this terse reply to an e-mail "sent from my iPhone": "I hate you."
I realize we iPhone users aren't a terribly sympathetic crowd. Neither was the guy who got the first wheel on his cave-block. There's always a trial period -- a few months, years, decades, millennia -- during which society irons out the kinks of any revolutionary tool. The goal is to minimize the invention's downsides while maximizing its upsides. And it's the technology's early users -- us brave guinea pigs -- who end up suffering for the greater good.
I know everyone says that Apple's latest invention is wonderful, revolutionary and life-changing. And for the most part, everyone's right. My iPhone entertains me when I'm bored. It organizes me when I'm scatterbrained. It loves me when I'm sad and lonely. It might as well cook me eggs and bacon the morning after.
But I know that all these wonderful upsides come at a steep price. For example: I am fairly certain that my iPhone will be the end of me. Achilles, the name I've given my device, will ultimately bring me down.
Let me explain:
When I first got my iPhone, I felt like the kid who walks in on the first day of second grade with the baddest trapper keeper. I knew I had the goods, and I expected the oohs and aahs to start as soon as I walked down the street with the device held to my ear.
But the oohs and aahs never came. In fact, there were only sneers. It's not that people don't think the iPhone is awesome. They know it is, but they also know that they don't have one. The desire can drive even the most even-tempered man insane. iPhone envy stokes our most atavistic urges: You have. I want.
So it's only a matter of time before someone snaps. A co-worker maybe, or a neighbor. They'll see me checking my e-mail as I cross the street, or hear my smooth jams as I'm running on the treadmill. They'll approach me from behind. They'll crouch. And in a few seconds, it will all be over.
But don't worry about me. I probably won't even realize what is happening. I'll be too busy checking my e-mail.
Can You Hear Me Now?
The biggest news of the morning, and most likely the day, is a massive earthquake that shook Peru at around 6:40 last night. The quake, which registered a 7.9 on the Richter scale, killed at least 330 people and injured more than 800.
Lucien Chauvin's story in the Washington Post suggests all hell has broken loose in the affected region:
In Ica, one hospital partially collapsed while others overflowed with victims. The National Police reported incidents of looting of homes and stores in Ica. Rescuers struggled to reach Ica from the capital, because portions of the Pan-American Highway, a key coastal route, were impassable, Reuters said.
In Chincha province, 100 miles south of Lima, inmates at the Tambo de Mora prison took advantage of the chaos to escape, according to the state news agency Andina.
Peruvian President Alan Garcia, perhaps worried that Peruvians will blame the government's incompetence on the government, has already started pointing fingers: "In a speech to the nation, Garcia offered his condolences to the families of the dead but also berated the telecom companies for the failed service. The quake was a lesson, he said, and the government would not let the phone system collapse again." He may as well have added: "Peru will soon be switching to AT&T, the company with the least dropped calls."
P.S. The BBC has a very helpful and cool slideshow about how earthquakes happen. Check it out.
P.P.S. This YouTube video was allegedly shot during the earthquake last night:
