I work with a group of incredibly gifted people. Not only are they amazing at design, mechanical and electrical engineering, software programming, writing, sales, marketing, etc., they are also talented artists. That’s why it’s so wonderful to walk through the Griffin Gallery in our office.

The Griffin Art Gallery is our in-house art gallery that features our paintings, sketches, music, video, photography and more.

Why don’t you come on in and take a look around?

Today is the day that we’re picking up our desks, filling up our boxes and wrapping our valuables in bubble wrap. It’s moving day!

We’ll have more details here soon about our new office, but let’s just say that it’s pretty darned lovely.

There’s an interesting post on CIO today by Tom Kaneshige about strange ways people kill their iPhones. We naturally shed a tear for every broken device, but accidents happen.

Aaron Cooper, marketing director at Worth Ave. Group, a company that insures consumer electronics shares the most popular ways good iPhones die.

Water is the number one iPhone enemy. According to Cooper, washing machines and toilets are popular places people part with their iPhones.

Young party goers are also responsible for many iPhones getting destroyed from people being sick on them (yuck!). Many also get stolen at parties as they are left unattended to play music.

Shattered displays are a big reason why people need to replace their iPhones. In the post, Cooper recalls a story about a cat that swatted a vibrating iPhone across a room. Interesting to note, that a test by Worth Ave. Group at last year’s MacWorld found screen protectors not only protect device displays from scratches, but also helps prevent them from shattering.

Check out the full post to learn about other ways people have parted with their favorite devices.

What’s the worst story you’ve heard about an iPhone, iPod or iPad getting destroyed?
