Do I have an iPhone? Absolutely not. Will I ever get one? I seriously doubt it. Is that something Im proud of? Damn skippy! That said, foursquare (iTunes page) is a kick ass app that ALMOST makes me want to rethink my stance. What exactly is foursquare? Its a location aware social media tool that …

So OpenTable, everyone’s favorite online reservation system for restaurants (is there a viable alternative?), is going public. According to TechCrunch, they want to raise $40 million with their IPO.
