iPadamonium
God, why is the iPad getting so much press? I mean, I played with one the other day, and it was pretty sweet, but there’s absolutely nothing revolutionary about it. They took an iPhone, made it bigger, removed the ability to make phone calls, and made the display better. Don’t get me wrong, it would make the perfect replacement for my crusty netbook, and it will change the way newspapers and magazines distribute their goods, but there’s nothing overtly amazing about it. It can do everything an iPhone can do, minus phone calls, but on a larger scale. That’s it! We’re through!
In other news, the Denton Arts & Jazz fest is coming up on the 23-25, and I’ll be volunteering at the KNTU booth Friday night during the Chick Corea concert and Sunday afternoon during…some other stuff.
The Week Off
I’m really excited. I found out last week that my request for a week off of work was approved. Now I’ve got an entire week – the week of my birthday, mind you – to fill with fun things to do. But the real challenge is finding what to do. Go to a Rangers game? Take a train trip to Austin? (I’ve always wanted to try out Amtrak.) I’m not entirely sure yet. I know I’ll probably make a quick trip over to Dallas to finally play golf with my uncle again. It was a lot of fun the last time.
Anyway, rewinding back to this next week, I’m also excited about Tuesday Bike Night, a weekly bike ride that starts at the Language building at UNT, goes God knows where, and ends back at the Lang Building. This is my first time doing it, and I’m hoping it’s a lot of fun.
Man, it seems like all I’m talking about today is ways to have fun. I guess working all the time has had an effect on me.
