I’ve never hacked my iPhone, but I’m thinking about doing it now.

I was running iPhone software 2.0.1.  When 2.1 came out, I told iTunes to download it but not install.  I made the mistake this morning of telling iTunes to go ahead and install the update on my iPhone, despite being

1. overseas, and thus away from any usable AT&T signal, and
2. in airplane mode, and thus unable to receive a signal anyway.

Now I have a lovely little brick that tells me I need to plug it into iTunes, and a message from iTunes saying that, because I can’t get signal, it can’t get needed data from the brick.  It’s still an Airplane-mode brick, sadly, with no way to get at the settings to change that.  The only thing I *can* do on the phone, apparently, is open it up for emergency calls – but those calls wouldn’t even work, because it’s an Airplane brick!

Do you have any hints for what I might be able to do to fix this?

I dream of a theater company that changes the world. A movement, really. To draw out a new story from the next generation, to transform our ideas of what’s possible among people. A sustainable company at its heart? Not only do I dream it, I believe it’s possible. Will you explore this with me?

When I was sexually assaulted in 1998, it took me two and a half years to tell more than two people.

I just read the email below, and I’m uncomfortable because I want people to consider seriously any claim that a person has been subjected to sexual violence.

If you’re willing, the next time someone lets you know that he or she has been on the receiving end of sexual violence, please tell that person that he or she is not alone, say something like, “I trust you’ll tell me if I can do anything to help,” and then be quiet and listen.

Thanks.
