Accompanying video to Nick Paumgarten’s piece “Up and Then Down” from the April 21st issue of The New Yorker. Footage of Nicholas White trapped in an elevator in the McGraw-Hill Building.

Woe. 41 hours in an elevator. Try not to go a little nuts.

And it feels good. Because of my work at the Cirque du Soleil which means I’ll be working in the US for the next two years, I need an American phone number and if you read this blog I ranted about purchasing an iPod, well this iPod Nano just doesn’t cut it anymore, I needed more Gigage so I took the plunge and combo-ed my needs.

I gots me an iPhone

And I love it

I feel so dirty and ashame

It is by far the ultimate geek tool I’ve ever splurged on (I’m on the niggardly side when it comes to spending on tech) and I just can’t get enough of the little brick of electronic goodness. GPS, Wireless, Bluetooth, Googlemaps, Gmail, SMS, VPN, YouTube, Music… damn.

It was a nightmare getting it activated since I’m Canadian and have no American credentials but once I got the kitten purring I was happy like a pig in shit. It’s like a tricorder but better. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.
