[QUOTE=tbdi]  
It’s positively urgent that she get those pictures uploaded in real time and that’s an attitude that drives me nuts.  
[/QUOTE]  
The real kicker is that she is almost certainly blogging about how the iPhone makes it easier for her to blog, and people’s reactions to her newfound ability to blog their reactions almost as soon as they have reacted. Blogging isn’t blogging unless you have at least three levels of self-referentiality.

(As pithily [demonstrated](http://blag.xkcd.com/2007/10/06/wikipedia-blogs/) by Mr xkcd.)
