I typically baby my technology, but after two plus years of intense daily use, my iPhone 3G is beginning to show its age. The top corner by the “silence” rocker and headphone jack had begun to crack a little while ago. It continued to get worse and today I opted to pry it open and glue it rather than wait for it to fall off and be lost.

Of course right as I am opening the glued shut super glue tube into a plastic cup my wife comes into the kitchen and wants to have a serious talk about her feelings. Her timing is always spot on. Because of this I can confidently blame my fingerprint on her. I did succeed at not gluing the rocker, which I was careful not to do.

I do love her though and wouldn’t know what to do without her.
