We bought me a new desk today so that my desktop computer could move upstairs and play with the cool kids. It looks so grown up, doesn’t it? Awwww.

Happy fathers day to all the fathers out there, especially my dad.

Everyone wish your dad a good one, okay?

It’s fun to find out what makes an ocean wave, wave.

It’s fun to find out what it’s really like in space. This is the captain speaking, come in Earth.

There is a kid at my step kids’ piano lesson wearing a T-shirt that says, “I’m too busy being EPIC.”

Best t-shirt ever.

Jen and I visited the Apple store in Salem, NH last night. We checked out the showroom models of the new MacBook Pro with the Retina Display (that’s a long name for a computer, isn’t it).

The display is nice. It’s definitely clearer than any other MacBook, or any iMac model. But is it that much clearer? Is it enough to justify the cost?

I don’t think it’s quite that much better. The difference between the images on an iPhone 3GS (without retina) and an iPhone 4 (with retina) was pretty huge. The same with the iPad 2 and the New iPad, which we also took our first real look at last night. It’s a night and day difference.

On the new MacBook Pro it was not a night and day difference. You can see the difference, mostly when looking at the desktop or launch pad, but it didn’t blow you away like it did on the iPhone or iPad.

We are both thinking that it might be a good idea to hold off on lusting after the new MacBook Pro for a while. Let’s see how non-Apple applications handle it for a while before thinking about taking the plunge.

So it’s back to lusting after iMacs again! Heh heh heh.

The Apple store is so nerd heaven, isn’t it?

Did you hear about the Apple I that was auctioned for almost 400K? We had an Apple IIe when I was a kid. Makes me wish we got on the wagon sooner.

It’s Friday and I’m exhausted.  I was up very late last night doing laundry.  More to the point, I was up very late waiting for the laundry to finish.  I didn’t exactly “do” anything other than put it in the washer and then move it to the dryer… damn I’m rambling about laundry.  I need a vacation.

Fortunately, that trip to Maine is coming soon.  Not yet, but soon.  Not soon enough, but soon.

What was I talking about?

Oh yeah, it’s Friday.

So much to do, so much to do… and so wanting it to be 5:30 and the weekend.  Today is the kids’ last day of school.  I think my mental state right now boils down to jealousy.  I want a summer off too.

Lucky kids getting the summer off.  grumble grumble grumble.

seven hours and thirty nine minutes to the weekend.

I just went down cellar to flip the laundry in the washing machine into the dryer. As I pulled out the last of the wet clothes I saw something pink sitting in the bottom of the washing machine. It was small and pink and had an apple logo on it.

Someone’s iPod nano went through the wash. Uh oh.

I’m in the market for some kid sized ear plugs.  Anyone have any suggestions?

When I posted the last picture I wanted to find one that had either the Caravan or BU2B backdrops.  I didn’t find one.  You’ll have to settle for these video masterpieces.  Oh the camera phone!
