Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. — Mark Twain |
Sound man for Hockey Day in Canada in Stratford… you’re fired.
Not surprised to see Apple stock dropping during the presentation. Down 5% so far.
I’m not sold yet, Steve. I already have an iPhone… what else is the iPad gonna do for me? You’re running out of time… tick tock…
Only 45 mins until Steve Jobs tells me what I have to buy from him today.
Okay, there’s really no need to comment on the name. I can’t imagine what the marketing team was thinking. Any women in their focus groups?
I’m rather underwhelmed. No tethering to my iPhone. No multitasking. No Adobe Flash. No camera. Keyboard dock, no mouse.
Aside from my couch, where am I going to be using this? Am I supposed to pull it out of a backpack while waiting in line at a store. The only place outside of the home that it makes sense is in an airport or on a plane/bus/train.
There’s a reason why Steve Jobs did his demo on the couch - something we haven’t seen before. It’s just not going to be practical to type on it while holding it with one hand. You’re going to want to sit down, cross your legs and rest it on your thigh for two handed typing.
Am I saying “no” to purchasing it… hmmm… I haven’t reach that point yet. I’ll wait for some reviews and feedback before cashing in my FutureShop gift cards for something else.
RT @GloryRumours: Hey Canada! World Vision is now receiving donations by mobile phone. Text WORLD to 45678. $5 will go to relief efforts …

Now that there are extensions for it, it’s time to revisit Google Chrome. Gonna try using it for the entire weekend.
I had no idea that Kitchener-Waterloo has Google Maps Street View now! Beauty!
NOW I’m a hockey player. I’m experiencing my first groin pull! How exciting! Pics to follow… :P
These 12 hour work days are for suckers. I’m my own boss. What am I doing? I’m the worst freelancer ever.
Just spent a few minutes in the Facebook privacy settings to lock things down. It’s scary just how much info they let out to the rest of the web without our permission. Don’t be fooled… your info, photos, and videos aren’t kept within FB’s walls.
Details here.
Proverbs 19:20-21
Although OnStar has offered Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance to its subscribers since 1996, the firm is getting set to add a snazzy new enhancement for 2009 vehicles. The feature, dubbed Stolen Vehicle Slowdown, can use GPS to pinpoint a vehicle once it has been reported as stolen, and after OnStar confirms with local police that it has the vehicle within sight, it can then be slowed down remotely. The system actually receives a signal that “interacts with the powertrain to reduce engine power, which will [in turn] slow the vehicle down gradually.” Interestingly, customers will have the option of opting out of the service if they so choose, but we’d rather be safe (and potentially paranoid) than sorry.
