Ben and I gave and received our early Christmas gifts: iPhones.

I am absolutely LOVING it. I’m fairly certain I can never, ever get bored ever again. Here are some of the apps I’ve downloaded: (These are all free.)

Facebook: A must for any Facebook addict, such as myself. Coolest feature? Click on the photo icon, take a picture, and it automatically sends it to Facebook.

Urbanspoon: This was recommended by a coworker. The built-in GPS detects where you are, then you shake the phone to have it choose a random restaurant near you. You can lock in your location, cuisine type, and/or price point. For example: I am in downtown and I want Italian for cheap. Urbanspoon says Venito’s Pizza on Church St. You can also read reviews of the restaurants and vote whether you like it or not.

Banking: This app only works with certain banks, but luckily SunTrust is one of them. Best feature? I can transfer money easily and quickly between my accounts for those days when there’s just not quite enough there.

Stanza: Read books on your phone! Who needs a Kindle? There’s a decent selection of classic books (about half of the ones I searched for were available) and contemporary ones as well.

Last.fm: As a longtime Last.fm user, this was a must. I can find and listen to recommended music easily.

Labyrinth LE: I used to have one of the wooden Labyrinth games and this works just as well. The motion sensors in the phone are incredibly sensitive, allowing precise movements.

Frotz: A great one for interaction fiction fans (think Zork). There’s a good selection of text-based adventures here to keep me occupied for months.

Midomi: I haven’t actually put this one to the test yet, but it identifies a song for you by sound. That has bound to be useful when you have a few lines from a song stuck in your head but you can’t think of what it is.

The future of sweetvenus.org?

I’m trying to decide what I want to do with this site. After the wedding, I’m contemplating combining jessicaandben.com and sweetvenus.org. This means the blogs will be merged together and the sites will be identical. I hardly do anything over here anymore. The photo album gets updated and that’s about it, but I also upload a lot of my photos to Facebook. I’m thinking of uploading them all over there (since it’s faster and a lot easier) and getting rid of the photos and videos sections. “Stuff I Own” hasn’t been updated in forever, and was basically just a PHP/MySQL practice ground when I made it, so there’s no real point in keeping it around. I’ll still keep the cosplay stuff up.

What do you all think? Should I keep the two sites separate? If I do, what kind of content should be on jessicaandben.com after the wedding compared to this site? Should I drop the photos and videos and move them all to Facebook?
