Doreen, in London you can find:

- AYL with Hamish Hendry (certified)
- Triyoga Soho with Philippa (certified)
- Yoga Place with Cary Perkins (authorized)
- Triyoga Primrose Hill with Eileen Gautier
- The Life Centre with…I think Michaela?

These are all very good shalas and good teachers.

Oh yeah, got major stumped last time I was in the UK with my iPhone this summer. At least AT&T did contact me when I had used up my int’l data package. If you’re like me, just get the full monty data package. I didn’t get round to figuring out Skype for the iPhone whilst there, I thought I was doing myself a favour by texting but actually not, that added up. Texting beware…

I miss blighty… England/Home

Have fun & if you find a good studio or rather good instructors let me know, cos I’ve been back a couple of times and my mates can’t recommend anyone or anywhere…

I love Apple. My next laptop is going to be a Mac (because I’m too lazy to bother with Linux anymore). Windows makes ME break out in hives

V, I imagine that whoever is in charge of security at your firm isn’t thrilled about having iPhones in the environment. They’re probably like us and grudgingly let people use them. The iPhone is not at all secure and isn’t nearly as manageable as a blackberry, so is not ideal for the corporate environment. Every executive we have has tried one and given it back. They all love their blackberries. Personally I break out in hives when I come anywhere near anything Apple related….except for my two year old iPod.

Our IT department doesn’t support iPhones. The official company phone is…uh, I’m not sure… Crackberry or Treo. I wrangled an iPhone ’cause my team makes online products and the organization likes me to indulge my curiosity about technology. The IT guys bought their own iPhones, and folks on my team bought their own iPhones. So it’s kind of a grassroots movement. “Official phone’s a BB? Forget it! I’ll buy my own!” I am very amused by this.

Is it though? The coolest thing in geekdom these days is to be able to program for iPhone – we are even having tech talks here at work even though the approved mobile communicator is the BB.

Your IT Manager is an iPhonephile….that’s unusual.

Happy Birthday!

Until I read this and all the comments, I was dead set against the iPhone because of the lack of cell reception on AT&T or whatever they use that isn’t Verizon. But now I’m beginning to see that the phone feature is nearly outmoded. Adam has been bugging me to get him an iTouch, and I’ve been like, no, what a waste, there’s no phone, and I’m not getting the iPhone, etc. Now, I think I might buy Adam that iTouch after all so as to encourage him to get into the habit of texting me instead of calling me!
