Sorry Computer Crashed... I'm Back

For anyone that checks regularly, I apologize, but I ran into a bit of bad luck the last week.

Just following when my free wireless internet was no longer available at my apartment, my hard drive completely crashed... and I lost all of my applications, songs, movies and photos... I just got my "fixed" computer back today... and I have found creative ways to get my music and most of my photos back.

Much of this experience has turned me off to getting the new iPhone, as I think Apple has always been good at delivering quality, because they always sold so few machines. But now that everyone has an iPod and Apple laptops are increasingly popular, I feel much of the quality has gone to the wayside in the name of innovation. The shareholders of Apple expect new products to come out every month or two... which is tremendous pressure for Apple, and I think this pressure causes some products to come out a bit too early. While I still love Apple, my love is more subdued and I know longer will be impractical when it comes to hyping Apple, enough people in the cult already do that. Enough of a ramble on my lack of a computer...the Daily Three.

Video: Mac or PC... Somewhat funny video which shows the stereotypical Mac and PC user, according to Apple... but a little too much dancing for me.



Article: Scoring the War

A friend's blog post recently made a lot of the points this article made. In the reporting of this war the media claims they are "supporting the troops" but emphasizing every death and paying tribute to the lost soliders, usaully leading most days in the Nightly News. I would contend even most soliders would not want the statistics on the number of soldiers lost emphasized but rather the mission and what is at stake in the war against terrorism.

Song; Sunglasses at Night, Corey Hart

The recent success of leadoff hitter Corey Hart on the Brewers has inspired me to listen some more of the 80's rocker Corey Hart. This classic gives me shivers everytime.
