Hmmm, interesting
Japan to Build Naval Base in Djibouti.
More to this than meets the eye?

Mac / OS X, Technology and Computing
iPad
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.

Campness!
Yeah, it’s Eurovision Song Contest time… a time when Yuko and I sit in front of the TV with a bit of plonk and basically laugh at how shit the whole contest is.
First up, congratulations to “Kate Nash” for winning, for Germany 
I mean, what the hell was going on there!? Yes, we see other European countries singing in English all the time… but singing in a mockney-cockney accent?!?
Other honourable mentions go to Denmark for their Sting-alike effort, and for the “pitch-invasion” during the Spanish song.
As for Britain, tonight was the first time we heard the song. We thought it f@£king sucked!!! We deserved to come last to be honest.
My favourite for the night was Bosnia (gotta love a guitar based song), Yuko kinda like Greece.
However, at the end of day, when Europe is bloody skint and Germany seems to be the ‘least skint’ country of the lot everyone was bound to suck up to them and vote for them
