*i don't mean stuff like "treasurer of the organization of poor law students," which imo are all worthless.

I made myself Vice President of the Seoul Foreign School Amerasian Society and it got me into GU.  :D

Yet I'm the one with integrity issues, while Yi walks the streets a free man and Elizabeth Warren becomes our next president.  :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Everyone embellishes a little.  Do you really think that Obama was a community organizer?  :rolleyes:

I was think of starting one on photography, but we must have done that, probably even me who started it back in the day.  :(

14 years ago this was state of the art for mobile telephony:



Things have changed "slightly" since then (though the 3310 is probably one of the most enduring cell phones ever).

I can't find it again, but a few weeks/months ago I saw a picture that showed how much cell phones had shrunk in size from the old brick models, down to the tiniest flip-phones then started getting larger and larger again with the advent of smart phones.

The caption was something like, 'We wanted them smaller and smaller, until we realized we could watch porn on them, now we can't get a big enough mobile phone.'
