What was the party trick?
2 comments

My main device used to be a cell-enabled Galaxy tablet. I would make calls over cell internet with Google Hangouts. It's big but it fit in my back pocket so I loved to just randomly pull it out and pretend I was taking a call. People who hadn't seen it before we're usually astonished, "Holy shit dude, that's a huge phone!"

I guess not everybody had seen a tablet at that time, circa 2013 or so, and it worked almost every time. That was my party trick.

Always having an excuse for being happy to see people. "Why yes, that is an iPad in my pocket"
