Unlocked iPhones not syncing with iTunes anymore?

I just plugged in my unlocked iPhone and got this iTunes screen. The music, contacts and photos didn’t update. Phone still works but it looks like it is not syncing with iTunes anymore. Oh dear. I guess Apple really want me to fork over some money for an official Rogers iPhone plan.

The motherland

I’m in India right now. In Jodhpur at the centre of Rajasthan. It’s the first time I’ve been back in India since I was 2 years old. This country is incredible. I’m planning to posting photos to flickr next week but in the mean time…

Tree vs car

On my way home today I came across this little catastrophe. Apparently the tree only fell a few minutes before I arrived (6pm-ish). I’m glad no one was hurt!

I took a few more photos from different angels. You can find them on my flickr page.

UPDATE: Torontoist used one of my pics on a post.
