John Gruber Is A Funny Funny Guy
So I read daring fireball by John Gruber and enjoy the little snide comments about the current tech item of the minute. So the current news item is the new photos of this previously unphotographed tribe living in the amazon.
John's Comment:
Someone needs to let these people know about the upcoming new iPhone.
Funny funny shit. Nice to see that he can recognize the frivolity of the same industry that he works in. Good job.
Cell phones… nokia and iPhone…
I love nokia phones. I really like the symbian OS too. I think I just like the concept of an OS where I can install apps and whatnot and do whatever. Oh, and it isn't an MS OS, which I won't do. So I have a nokia. My wife has a nokia. My kid has my on of our old nokias as a toy. My mom has one. My sister has one. I tell everyone that they need nokias. When people who bought RAZR's finally get fed up with that piece of crap phone, I tell them to go nokia.
So when the iPhone was announced I was conflicted. I also love apple. But the whole lack of installable software pissed me off to a degree that I knew I wasn't going actually get one. I took the money and bought car parts and bike parts instead.
As the iPhone hit the market and I got more into it, there was a tinge of desire there I will admit, but then I remembered, while I sat on the can playing solitaire on my nokia, that I could do that on an iPhone, but I would have to be hitting a web page. Meh.
Then I got this link today, and I found it really funny. And really the points are all valid. Sure, it is a bit over the top, it is all valid. And really pretty in line with my feelings and thoughts. Sure, he does better animated GIFs than I do, but I am ok with that.
Chipotle loves the future.
So I got chipotle tonight... and they have a calendar for sale for 2007... and on it says something to the effect of:
2007 ...and still no flying cars
that rules. although I am not sure I like chipotle as much anymore. It is good, but it isn't as healthy as I would like, and I am trying to eat healthier food lately.
My Little Boy…
so sunday, Mason was fussy most of the day. He has been getting up at 6am (thanks skylight) and has been up and wide awake, so have I. So yesterday we had him in the swing, watching baby einstein DVDs, in the chair, on his play mat, whatever and he was fussy in them all. So I put him in his bouncy chair, sit him in front of the TV, sit next to him, and turned on the F1 season opening race. He loved it. I tried to explain things to him to bring him up to speed. He watched the TV or me nearly the entire race, and smiled most of the time. It was pretty dope. And it was a good race too.
