http://blog.sheckel.net/2012_02_01_archive.html
The life and times of Jacob. Grocery shopping, junky bicycles, and other dangerous adventures. Cracked Phone Is Cracked. It just embeds little shards of glass in my fingertips every time I use it. A price I'm willing to pay*. Lesson learned: don't put your phone in the pocket of your sweatshirt and forget it was there. Because (to be clear) I am not willing to pay the price for a new phone.
