I can’t even keep up a once-a-week pace on this thing. I have ways of pissing away my evenings and that’s even after I gave up Facebook for the most part. Keeping up with all my RSS feeds and twitter pretty much kills all the time I have left. That’s even after avoiding the gym more than normal since I was feeling poorly the past few weeks. Or, as my brother-in-law says, I had the punes.
I think most people were expecting Apple to announce new iPads and maybe an Apple TV today. Well, the announcements were more like what you’d expect at WWDC. New OS X Mavericks. New laptops. A ship date for the new Mac Pro. New iLife. And finally, new iPads.
I seem to buy a lot of new laptops, like one a year. I think if I can sell the one I have now, I’ll get a new one. It’s a silly thing to be doing year after year, but it’s what I do. And for all the time I spend in front of the darn thing, it’s probably not a bad purchase. If nothing else, this is what I meant when I said I had something new to lust after.
Oh, and I spent a lot of time this weekend trying to figure out something on my radio. I finally have confirmation that I’ve talked to all 50 states (something that’s supposed to be easy to do, but has taken me since 1978 to accomplish) and I’m pretty happy about that. I should probably spend some more time fiddling with the radio since I have spent countless hours and tens of thousands of dollars on equipment and antennas. Plus, I actually enjoy it. Yeah, that means I’m a super-nerd. Most people have nothing on a guy that has to put up antennas for his hobby. ARE YOU LISTENING LADIES?
The ‘ladies’ comment made me spit out my drink. I also go through laptops about one per year lately, but that’s more because I just have an amazing knack for making them hate me. 🙂
