Yeah, Jobs…it sure is just a hobby, isn’t it?

November 8, 2009

So, I updated to version 3.0 3.0.1 (Oh, hey, yeah…could you update one more time, please?) of the AppleTV software for their self-described hobby project/media center device. I do love the end to end, just barely skirting this side of an antitrust lawsuit, seamless integration that the Apple experience provides the end user. It just [...]

Yao Man FTW!

At long last luggage…

July 8, 2007

The missing luggage showed up yesterday, finally. This officially brings my travels to a close for now. It only took British Airways a week to get it to me, a bit of a far cry from the 48 hours I was originally quoted from the representative. Still, only two items got crushed in the ensuing [...]
