Jonbu the baker

Waking up early is no fun. Still sleepy, but it’s bright already. I’m going back to bed for sure.

Sometimes a laptop is so pretty that you don’t care if it runs Windows. I have so many to-buys that it’s gonna be another floodgate open when I said ok to one of them. Not that I have use for one of these…

Link to a guy that actually got one, (unlike me).

I like this Japanese review too because they go over the hardware in great detail. They talk about things like the paint job, certain shapes of certain parts, the mechanics of the keyboard… It’s a country of Gundam model-makers, and I like it that way.

I was going to write some iPhone predictions for the following week, but the hype is so strong now that any more iPhone stuff just end up being bland. But it is iPhone week, and it’s still exciting. 4 more days. All I want is to poke it, and Steve charges $500 for that.

Some random picture to make this a complete blog:

Mushrooms are great. They taste good. Cute. Nature’s wonder.

What a pointless blog. Even I’m surprised.

Just as Pentax sold themselves to Hoya, I remotely sold the K100D in Taiwan to my uncle. He has two kids still growing up, and his last digital camera was a plastic BenQ. I think he needs this more than me. He asked for a super good bargain, and he got it, cuz Chinese people don’t usually say no to family. Which means the deal isn’t so good on my end. But I don’t mind. He’s a good guy.

Can’t believe I haven’t touched it in 9 months, and never will
Actually I’m pretty happy about it being gone, now that I’ve told myself not to cheap out again.

DSLRs are really clunky things to travel with. I put it on my neck, and it’s like someone punches me in the chest every time I take a step. Do I put it on the side, or hand carry it and strain my shoulder (Yes. I have a frail body). There’s no point carrying it in a case, because you loose photo ops. Lots to consider.

BTW, I’m awake because I took a nap right before bedtime. Things are slow at night.

I watched Michael Moore’s Sicko today. It’s very good. The movie is light on details, but it makes me happy to be a Canadian, and shows how other countries are like. Britain seems like a nice place. Maybe I’ll visit someday.

I spent $175 at Costco today. All foods, no gadgets. There was a wireless oven thermometer that would tell you (remotely) when your roast is ready. Good blend of geekiness + momness. I almost got it, but bro said no. I listen to him.

The new shipment of coke came with this really nice design on the cans. I liked it enough to take pictures of it while everyone else started eating.

If you go to the Coke website, while the site it self is pretty bad ( it’s spinning itself in the background as I type this), they have a pretty good designer-ish graphical theme going on right now. Nice wallpapers. Almost like the new Paul McCartney iPod commercial you can find on the iTunes website. Apple does it better tho.

Speaking of Apple.. It’s that time of year again where I consider getting the white notebook (ibook, now macbook) + ipod deal. Forth year in a row now, I think. Maybe it’s a ritual I’ll continue for years to come. They look really nice as long as you don’t go to the store and touch one.
