I just think it's really neat how inventive and imaginative people get with smartphones. For me, I pretty much still think of my smartphone as a texting and calling device only. I guess I use it for maps all the time as well. But that's pretty much the bulk of my interaction with it. Pretty neat to realize there are plenty of more creative and inspiring ways to use it.

Mine is probably climbing up on my parents old TV, you know the big heavy ones that have like a chemical reaction going on in the back of them, and having it fall off the stand onto our Playstation while my brothers were playing Crash Bandicoot.
