I’m here at work and since Google doesn’t like to be logged into both my email accounts plus blogger, with the use of a keyboard I’m blogging on my iPad sitting next to my other keyboard. I’ve decided that despite having a laptop that at home the only way I’m truly likely to be personally productive on the web is if I just get a keyboard for my iPad then I’m in business. Fortunately Barry had one that he wasn’t using and since I don’t have stubby man fingers like him, I’m rocking and rolling.

It’s been an interesting week thus far. It started with my mom telling me that she ‘heard’ the name Antonio Davidson Perez. This was later followed by me receiving Huggies coupons in the mail. I assure you, Kenrick and I have no plans on having children together nor are there any plans on getting married either. My faux-husband and I are where we need to be. Besides, I simply don’t have the energy or the desire for children of my own. I am more than happy being an aunt and taking care of my old man. Continue reading “How Silly is This?” →

I must admit, as I watched the Apple Special Event I thought that it was as close as I’ve gotten to a cult-like experience in several years having long foregone the Sunday morning Christian rituals. I didn’t know how long the video was to be but I found myself so mesmerized that I didn’t care. Nothing else in the world mattered, everything else ceased. Even when Kenrick text me to tell me he was getting off early (we had carpooled) I had him wait because I wasn’t going to be pulled away from my main man, Steve Jobs.

Steve was visibly frail, his clothing hung unflatteringly on his body. But none of that mattered as you could tell he was going to spin his web and trap you in it. When you love someone, or in this case, when you love the ideology that is Apple, all you see is what you want to see, perfection. Let’s for a second ignore how in one giant swoop Apple is assisting in killing off some existing technology (flash drives, CDs) and affiliates (.com partnerships), I dutifully walked away from viewing the presentation wanting to integrate Apple more into my life. Can it be implanted into my brain?! While I’m still not fully sold on Apple Tv, I am salivating at next month’s release of iOS5. This beauty will allow for, among other things, SMS/MMS using your iPad. It’ll even let you know if the message was received and if it was viewed. With some additional upgrades to existing features, it’ll be worth the month wait. I’m thrilled that my now uncool (per CNET) iPhone 3GS will get the update. I’m still waiting to upgrade and will do so on schedule (I do every other release) when iPhone 5 debuts. Continue reading “I’m an Apple” →

I’m happy to report that due to another Facebook friend having similar problems as I with his iTunes library I’ve now purchased a plugin that will organze my entire library with ease. I’m such a geek when it comes to these things but I’ve already started doing my organizing and cleanup using TuneUp and I’m happy. There’s also another program, Rinse that is available. They both offer free trials so you can test them out which is certainly a good thing as it costs over $30 to purchase the full versions. While I certain groom some time today to look for keygens and other cracking methods to avoid paying, I was not ready to use a torrent or to register for another program. What I presently see as a downside to the program is that I’ll likely have less and less need for all its features. However, for now I’m in music bliss. It’s encouraged me to actively whittle down my 11,000+ music collection.
