ROFL.

Classic ‘The Onion’ news story.
New Apple Friend Bar Gives Customers Someone To Talk At About Mac Products

Popped into town today, and stopped off at the Apple Store (the new one in St. Davids 2 shopping centre in Cardiff). As expected, a fair old crowd around the iPad table with people playing around with the demo machines.

Had a quick play myself. However, unlike when I had a play with the iPod Touch/iPhone for the first time, there certainly wasn’t the the feeling of “Oh my God, I really want one of these now!”. Yes, nice device, kinda funky. But not a ‘must get’. The ‘locked down’ model for iPhones makes sense to me. However, for a laptop type computing device, it felt to restrictive. I guess I still want a good old fashioned MacBook instead.

Not really had a chance to update this blog recently, got other things on the go. Anyhooo, blog software has been updated to WordPress 2.8

I’m currently waiting for Adobe to release an update to Camera RAW and Lightroom so that it supports the Canon 500D camera (which I brought when we were out in Japan at the end of April). Once they’ve done that, I can finally finishing processing the remaining photos from our two week trip to Japan.

… and since I will have all my photos sorted, I suppose a blog post will be in order telling the tale of our journey to Japan.

Well, this kid has got more programming skills than I had at that age!
