Apple still darling of tech

Apple once again was able to beat financial analyst expectaions due to strong laptop sales but more directly to iPhone sales. The 3gs demand was much higher than expected. I had to setup our dev environment on that sweet new MacBook pro today and it's response and beauty was unquestionably Perfect. It's elegance was it's desin and the fact that it just worked much like the iPod and the iPhone. This wonderful prize still well outside of normal finances for me. On other news the Barnes and Nobles ebook reader also was unveiled today and it's android carrying eink beauty seems like a steal, but then again a 10 " netbook is about $270 these days and has 1000 times the functionality.

Static shoes

Well Monday is here again to suck the soul. So far the day has gone as well as a Monday could. A few requests and some purchases and some new computer setups.

I hope my dear wife feels better soon too. Until next time.

Well I wish my kids and wife were not marginally sick, so I could spend more time outdoors with them. I did get to see “Where the wild things are.” This movie was very good for me, although Allen would probably disagree. Ethan found it very interesting as well. The story of a 7 yr old boy who had a wonderful family life trying to understand the reality of growing up. His father is gone, his sister does not play with him as she is a teen, and his mom is stressed from losing her job and her dating. The boy is trying desperately trying to hold on to his innocence and childhood while being faced with the suffering that real life has to offer. His coping mechanism is to dress like an animal and let out his temper in rage. With the bravery of a soldier he travels to an island where h
