Four months with Android: reflections, grievances and some tenuous metaphors bundled up into a weighty tome
OR, The longest, most awkward dinner of my life
tl;dr version: I’m really glad to have an iPhone 4S.
(Note: this was written over multiple days, spaced weeks apart.)
I approached this experiment with a lot of questions, the primary of which was quite simple: why do people use Android? I had my own preconceived answers — they dislike Apple or couldn’t get an iPhone for one reason or another — but I dove in with an open mind regardless. After over four months of Android 2.3 on a Nexus S, I’m left mostly answerless.
That’s not to say I didn’t learn a lot. I have a solid grasp of what makes Android Android, the ins-and-outs of the OS, and, yes, there are even a few really great features I will miss as I transition back to iOS.
But at the end of the day I’m left with mostly a bad taste in my mouth. What follows is a summation of four months exclusively using Android. They’re my opinions. I’m not trying to sway anyone away from the platform, and I’m not looking to troll Android fanboys. I am but one man who likes stupid gadgets and decided to conduct a dumb experiment. Let’s go.
“Plastic Spoon” - limited edition 11” x 17” screen print, available now for $10.
Hey Tumblr friends - here’s the poop: This design was pretty popular, so I made some screen prints today. Each one is signed and numbered. They cost $10 plus shipping.
This is the first time I’m trying this whole thing, so if it works, I will make some more prints for you!
If you enjoy my blog, I hope you grab one of these posters for your dorm room, office, etc. It will make me feel good and your $10 will cover my printing expenses so I can keep working in the studio.
Also, please let me know if there’s any designs you’d like me to make as prints.
EDIT: playitbackward asked, “Wow this is great! But why is shipping so expensive?” Shipping costs $7, which is as cheap as I can figure out how to do it. I have to buy a mailing tube ($2.00) and send it to you ($5.00).
:O
not that agree
