End of January

i installed iLife '09 on my leopard notebooks. I am up to date.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is a great man. I wish him all the best as he deals with his health problems. He said that he won't return to Apple until late June. Get Well Soon!

so similar

after watching the Gran Torino trailer, i now see clint eastwood's character as batman in The Dark Knight. That raspy, angry voice is common in both movies. when i go see Gran Torino, at some point during the flim, i'm gonna think that i'm wacthing batman interrogate someone with his angry voice.

Macworld reflections

i am delighted that iLife '09 and iWork '09 were announced today. Nothing else at Macworld really got me excited. i would have liked to see new iphone/ipod touch stuff.

Both of the new earphones

when apple announced two new earphones back in september, i really wanted to get one of them. new in-ear earphones with a volume control on the cable and the standard ipod earphones with the volume control on the cable. i got the in-ear version last monday because i was impatiently waiting for something with a volume control capsule. i was in the apple store yesterday and asked a guy if they had the other type. he went in the back and got them for me. i really like the standard earphones with that little addition to the cable.

it's the new year

oh man, last night was full of excitement. saw nice fireworks at embassy suites. then i hung out with alvin, steve, and a friend for a while. after that, headed down to the cosmopolitan where the ball was going to drop from. the crowd was crazy. fucking white people whining. white trash boys saying "dont push me" and white bitches sayin "dont touch me" and "dont touch my baby stroller". if they didnt like being herded like sheep, they should not have been there. i watched the ball drop from a safe location. in the end, it was a night to remember or wipe from my memory. i got pictures coming soon
