It's only one week to go until the important 30th July for us the second tier countries. And we still don't have any pricing information about the iPhone 4. We have been watching Americans (and a handful of first tier) countries flaunting their iPhone 4 for a month, and waiting impatiently.

I can only hope so. However, reports says that despite the well known antennagate problem of iPhone 4, the demand of it is still pretty high.

Another question: Who is your carrier in Australia?

Main phone (two years old iPhone 3G) is with Vodafone,
my backup phone (HTC Touch Pro 2) is with Telstra.

and there are 5 mobile carriers authorised to sell iPhone in Australia.

John-

On the melatonin-

I suffer S.A.D., Seasonal Affective Disorder. This is a result of not enough melatonin.

The best therapy is sunlight. Psychiatrists prescribe "light boxes" which provide light with the proper UV rays, but are 1/1000 the lumens of sunlight. In both cases, one does not look directly at the light source, but is in a position that the rays will reach the pineal gland via the retina.

These UV rays stimulate the production and regulation of melatonin.

Eyeglasses with UV protection will stop the therapy.

So, what I do is check the location of the sun overhead before I do my exercise walk which is five days a week, 3 miles. walk in a direction so that my loop will give me the most time with the sun ahead of me rather than behind me. I wear no eyeglasses while i walk.

I also hike and cycle without my glasses.

My worst period is in the fall heading up to Thanksgiving. But I try to spend a good amount of time outside.

Give it a shot, it works very well for me.

The original science on this was taking a bunch of light deprived and depressed people from Erie, PA to Florida. Their depression lifted very quickly.

Melatonin is involved with a great deal of our behavior, so sleeplessness is not a surprise.

I just take a 5mg melatonin capsule every day 2 hours before I go to bed. Does wonders!

-While Antony may not have an iPhone 4, iJohnE has a new kitten. She's a replacement for Fat Cat, who sadly passed away after fourteen years last Saturday.

Old Kitty:

That was Fat Cat, in his favorite basket.

New Kitty:

And that is the new kitty!

Her name is Boom, because she likes to make a lot of noise. I got her from a local farmer, so I'm not sure of her exact breed, or age. But I speculate that she is around two months. She has an appointment with the vet in the upcoming week, so more will be known!

Oh, and I might add that she went right in the litter box all on her own!

Cats in my opinion are the best pets. I am a dog person as well, but I just like cats so much more. Because when you need to do something they go off on their own (usually). Or like when they need to go to the bathroom they just go to their litter box and do their business. Don't get my wrong, I love my dogs. But it just seems like they are so much more high maintenance.

-Boom is doing well, she's having a grand old time exploring the house.
-She really doesn't like the dogs; but the dogs really like her.
-Geometry review classes start soon, hopefully I can ace this regents this time.
-I can't believe how fast summer is going by. Where does time go?
-One more week and I can change my earrings.
-I can't believe I'm going to be a junior.
