Self-Management

It seems I only have time for these brief posts. Tons in the pipe; time for none. Life must be... I dunno... Good or somethin'...

Anyway, I just updated my iPhone to the latest 1.1.3 firmware. You know, the one with all the goodies. It's pretty damn hot, I must say. The most useful thing will be the ability to send text to multiple folks. But the faux GPS is pretty damn cool too.

The other thing I updated was my iTunes, wherein I discovered this little nugget:


iTunes 7.6: Manually manage music and videos

Looks like you can finally drag and drop music right into your iPhone and create iPhone-specific playlists — ones that live right on the phone and nowhere else. At this point I'm so used to the old way of doing things that I'm not sure what to do with this feature. But something tells me this new found freedom will be a boon at some point in the very near future.

Just as soon as I have some time to use it.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air came out today. It's tiny. It's light. It's as beautiful as anything Apple has ever made. But it's just too damn expensive. Knock off about $600 clams and I think they'd have a hit. But at $1800 bucks, I think I'll take something with a firewire port, thanks. Or I'll just use my iPhone.

I am, however, getting one of these. This week if possible.

Goody!

I Don't Care Anymore

I've heard that the WACOM company's name is supposed to be pronounced "wack-em." But I don't care. I'm saying "way-com." 'Cause let's face it, you just sound stupid saying, "Hey, can I try your wack-em?" Or, "Your wack-em is huge. Much bigger than my wack-em." Or, "Wow, I just love my new, giant wack-em."

Oh yeah, and I say, "OS Ecks" as well.

Deal with it.

El Keyboardo

I'm still swamped, buried under the avalanche of work that is the direct result of endless delays to the renovation of our department. Nevertheless, I find myself with little to do today. Or, I should say, little I'm actually able to do. Today's delay, from the "I can't catch a break to save my life" department: Keyboards. In Spanish!

Today I finally got a chance to start unboxing and building my new Macs. Opened up the first one and noticed that the keyboard said "Ayuda" where it should have said "Help." Uh... Shit...

So now what? Will I have to send the entire box back for exchange, or just the keyboards? Until I know the answer to this, I can't build my systems. And I won't know 'til Monday, because purchasing is closed this week.

So I blog.

Hola.
