It was the night of June 26th, right before I went to bed. I had just watched the guided tour of the iPhone and was thinking of ways to be part of the iPhone experience and community. I then thought of making a book and having the community send in posts and photos for the book. Scribled some notes on an index card and went to bed. The next morning I registered the domain name and was lucky to have gotten it. I then set up the site and launched it on the 28th of June. And that is the story.
