One of the more exciting things to happen to me recently was that we shipped Flex 3, the product I work on. When we shipped Flex 2 last year, the shipping gift was a nice Timbuktu bag. Since that time, Flex has become a baller product and a cornerstone of the platform that Adobe is pushing, so our shipping gift this year was also improved.

I don’t really consider myself that geeky or high up on the technology curve. Yes, I do read computer books in my leisure time, and I do think about programming and software engineering a lot, but I’m not really a big sci-fi person or a bit gadget person. However, the usefulness of an iPhone cannot be denied, and it was honestly one of the few things that I really wanted. However, too cheap to buy it (especially given my Verizon contract), I was really ecstatic when we were given iPhones as our shipping gift.

So far, I have to say the iPhone is extremely useful, and it was an awesome shipping gift. I still have my old number since it’s only $10 a month to add myself to my parent’s family plan, but I’ll be slowly transitioning over to my new phone, so please start to use this one.
