Strangers (from the same area code) were able to fumble through an accidental digital interaction for a few lines of text message because they have something in common, being two people in a pool of (at least) 52 million who were happy with the 50/50 outcome of the most prominent event in the entire nation!!!!

@15 Not bullshit. I took the screen shot on election night this year, so it's the current iOS, obviously. I kept the original messages in the text queue. I didn't really want to keep a screen shot in my images for four years.

@19 Awesome! :)

@20 Possible, but no, I did not.

@21 Maybe?

I'm glad people enjoyed this as much as I did.

Battery percentage was added as a feature first seen on the…, which was released in June 2009.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think iOS 2 used the location services icon, either.

My assumption is Cameron is an older black male who has an older brother that was on his death bed in 2008 and was happy he got to see a black president elected before he passed.

Or his older brother is gay and had recently come out to Cameron so Cameron wanted to reaffirm that he loved his brother no matter his lifestyle choice and that Cameron assumes his brother must be happy a president who believes in equality was elected in 2008.

While my brother (14 years older than me) and I are close, we rarely send I love you texts except for in the case of family deaths, or impending serious weather events. Maybe Seattle is different!

Do others have thoughts on the scenario taking place between Cameron and his older brother?

Side Note - If you add about 15 pages of monologue, a phone interview, and two instrumental tracks from The Album Leaf, this could totally be Act II on an episode of This American Life.
