Confessions of an iPhone Chick: It’s sexy…but not flashy
Recently, I attended Broadway San Jose's "Avenue Q" a production featuring puppets that sing, dance and prance around; hitting on humorous, taboo topics.

Confessions of an iPhone Chick: Can you hear me now?
It was 7 am this morning. For a second I imagined myself a secret agent, surveying the hotel room for wiretaps before I settled in on my secret mission.
Then reality set in. No, I was not a secret agent...merely the owner of an iPhone scoping out a hotel room...
