a big announcement over at apple

January 10th, 2007 | Category: Holidays, Home, Technical

Well most of you would have seen that Apple have announced their new “iPhone”. I’m personally not a fan of apple’s non computer products (ie. iPod). I will of course not be buying an iPhone but will end up buying the cheaper, superior product that will no doubt be made by the likes of Motorola, Nokia, Samsung etc. to counter Apples new shiny gadget. The thing I like about Apple is there products have a huge appeal and practically walk out the store, this forces other companies to come up with new products (or rip off apples) and sell them at a lower price (this is where I come in), I then buy this cheaper, often superior product and then gloat to the iPod wielding, iPhone talking yuppies that I have a better music player, and a better phone and all for a cheaper price.

Anyway thats my little bitch for the day, also this bloody smoke is annoying, however today it wasn’t so bad because it cleared up. Tomorrow I’m going down to Sandringham to have lunch with some people and will no doubt head down to the beach as it will be a scorcher.

the day my individuality died

January 07th, 2007 | Category: Holidays, Home, MySpace

Well I have finally created a MySpace. For those of you that know me best I have vehemently fought against this whole MySpace thing. The reason I have done it is because I need more visitors on this blog, because unfortunately i’m sick of the twenty or so of you, and the poor little guy from spain on dialup and windows 98 (yes I can tell what type of internet connection you have, where you are and what OS you have) being the only ones that look at this site.

In other great news, well I have none, its been a pretty boring weekend so far. I was going to go out tonight (by which I mean Saturday) but unfortunately on Friday I got really badly sunburnt while swimming and can now barely move (I can still type though).

a trip to the mornington peninsula

January 02nd, 2007 | Category: Family, Holidays, Home

Well today we headed down to the Mornington Peninsula (Rosebud to be precise) to visit my grandmother. We had lunch at the Rosebud Hotel and then went to the beach where we swam for about two hours. While I was down there I went into EB Games and bought Medieval II Total War (the sequel to Medieval Total War) and Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition (I’m a sucker for those flight sim games). Meanwhile my day only cost me about $175, which I was pretty happy with. The rest of my week is rather uneventful, except I’ll have to walk up to Chadstone to go to Borders to spend my gift vouchers, but that’s no huge effort.
