The Weekly Jam: iPhone, Therefore I Am

Do we need technology to get in shape? To run our daily lives? To impress the opposite sex? Yes, yes, and YES! What are you, a Luddite?

While we've heard you can get great exericse at home without any special equipment, that's so pitifully low tech - and anti-social! So if you've been seduced by those photoshopped pictures of insanely buff people standing next to gym equipment the size of nuclear reactors, this post by Sheamus is perfect for you: a practical and easy to follow approach on how to actually use your gym membership to get fit!

Convinced your personal self-worth is connected to the phone you own? Damn right, skippy! James Wax talks about his experience waiting to be one of the first (well, one of the first million) to get the new iPhone 3G by braving the lines at a Santa Monica Apple store, and why you are hopelessly inferior if you didn't do the same.

And James also has advice on how you can use that nifty iPhone to impress women. "He has a new iPhone. He's so dreamy!" As if.

What if you're a bit awkward at starting a conversation with the ladies? Or even getting a date? Comedian Ben Gleib uses technology for those quiet, intimate moments. But you didn't hear it from him!

Maybe we aren't just products of the technology age. Maybe there's greater personal reward in doing things for ourselves. Or maybe we just need a better attitude.

Nah. Sorry, gotta go. I have another call...
