The Quiet One

do you think -

Do you think this tree wants to get rid this sign?  Can't blame it, after all the tree was here first.Well it was a lovely run of beautiful weather. It's sorta ending with the rain this weekend. However after all the snow I got to deal with (aka shoveled.) I'll take the rain, just not a whole lot. There's concerns of some flooding, it all depends how much rain falls over the weekend. Since Sat it's be above 40 with last two days in the 50s.

Another good thing that happen today I finally got the pile of poems all type up! Now on to revising more this weekend. What else a rainy weekend good for. 

Well you could check this webcam. It's a mother bear with a cub in their den, name lily and Hope It's cute when they are up because that little cub can throw one helluva tantrum. I was watching it yesterday and the mother left the den for a couple minutes. Hope made it quiet clear that was not acceptable.  Which made it even more funny because I though originally that Lily was going start eating the camera. Today they were sleeping more but you can hear Hope make all her cute noises.

Well another good reason to get the Apple iPad has pop up. This is the one factor I was hoping would come true! Barnes & Nobles will create e-reader app for the iPad!!! Yes!!! I have the reader app for the Touch iPod and like it. But for that I wish for a bigger screen at time. Well it's looks like I'll be getting my wish. Apple will also have their own e-reader too.And for somebody who loves book but don't have the room for all the book she wants. This is very good news!

Was going post a photo -

Was going post a photo of a sow squall that came through last Thursday. But you know me, just simple had to play around with the photo. Have to admit, that's better than another shot of snow. Has such an ereie look to it.

Right now, I'm doing good, some the stitches are falling out. Including the two that were driving crazy this weekend. Looking forward to rest to come on Wednesday.

Can't belive some the stuff that being said about the iPad. Enough already, give it a chance first.  In the end, might ruin the chance of getting a tablet computer from Apple. I'm sure in the end, Apple & Adobe will come to some kind of agreement about flash. Or better yet, Apple make their own flash.  I agree with some people, the flash is overkill on a lot of site.   

Tomorrow, I'll play catch with the Art Journal Caravan stuff, have been keeping that up.

iPad !!!!!!!!! on my wishlist already!!

(Note- this was suppose be publish last night 1/27 but I lose my internet connection when I hit the publish button)

 Oh yea, it was worth the wait!!!

iPad is here! Oh Yes!! it rocks in my opinion. 

First thing, I did go to court and the bad patron got smart and pleaded guilty. So didn't have to testified either. So when I got home, headed straight for the computer -

and found out my internet was down. LOL!!!

I guess there was a problem or too many people was trying to see the new iPad. I landed up turning on the news on the Tv to see it. I did let out a big sigh when I saw the prices of it. All under a $1,000   Glad to see there will be iPad version of Pages. That was the first one thing I was hoping for.  The other thing was a ebook reader.  Forget about the B&N.com Nook, this one will probably better in the end. Due to the fact you can do more than just read with it. Another plus for me.

Unlike some people, who I read their comments the Macrumor.com. I don't see the limitations of the iPad, I see the potential of it. Yes it doesn't have a camera for taking picture or doing video. Nor does it have a few other things they were wishing for. But who to say that the next one won't have a camera. Maybe there was a problem with the camera they wanted to use. It's a first of it's kind, give it a chance!! Let the software developers have chance to create programs for it. I think some people expectation were a little too high for this one.  Some were hoping for more a computer like device but a touchscreen iMac is being created.

This need to be successful, because only then can we truely get a tablet computer later on. Then again, knowing Apple, they are working on that too. However, I'm sure once people really get hold of this iPad and start telling everybody how wonderful it is. More people will stop complaining about it.

Now will I buy one later on this year. Yes, unlike some people it does fit my need. It's a safe bet by the time I buy mine, there will a lot more programs to run on it. Who knows maybe a lite photoshop to use. Plus any oops will fix too. Maybe this spring I'll start rolling that shoe box of loose change. Might at least have $200  

Yea, I survived

Yes I survived my ordeal. Now have a mouth full of stitches, the pain is pretty gone. Except now and then the bottom teeth bites to hard on the top gum. Oh course, yesterday I developed one my famous all day headaches. With that, I pretty much stay in bed.

I was looking so forward to spending Wednesday afternoon in front of the iMac, keeping up with Apple media event. It's a pretty sure bet they'll be annoucing the new tablet. However yesterday I got a subpoena to appear in court because of the very bad library patron. It will be a 50% chance I'll have to testify  against him. Trust me, I hope he pleads guilty!

Anyway, the big question about the new Apple tablet is, what is its name. So far I heard, iSlate, iTablet and iPad. I personally I like iSlate but part of me would like Apple to get anyway from i thingy. This could be a big thing, so why not give it a unique name. it would be great if I could read book like my iPod touch or my favorite rumour, some kind of iWorks is loaded on it. Oh yea that would rock!! Well, that is going to be my biggest highlight for the coming week. Ranks up there with not having to go to work.

Looking forward to taking a walk everyday, with the hopes it staying somewhat decent. This would really give me real chance to test out the Rebel camera.  Some point I got to decide what news lens to get for it and stop being afraid of that part of the camera.

Jan 18th 2010!

Yea, I couldn't think of a title tonight! And yes, I change my blog design again. I think I'm going total make my own later in the month, complete with a custom header.

Yes, the day was warm enough that I could take a walk today. I do believe some deer were hunger. Then again, still surprise the mushrooms are still around. With this recent warm up, the snow is finally going away. Really was getting sick of looking at it.

January 27th is the day that Apple will be announcing their new Tablet. Yes!! Well hopefully that's what they plan to do.Up to this point, there was no real proof of it being made. So last week a site call Valleywag offer big time money to anybody who could prove that the tablet really does exist.(There are still people who believe that it doesn't exist.) Well Apple didn't appreciate the offer and sent Valleywag a letter demanding that they stop the contest.

Guess what! with that, Apple pretty prove that the Tablet did exist and the site name the lawyer as the first winner.  Like I said before, I am intestered in the tablet but I'll wait until later this year. Now there is a rumour that there's a new iWorks coming out too. Now it would be great if it could run on the tablet too.

Well Wednesday is the big day. I'll have the surgery on my mouth and be out of work for the next two month. Pretty much everybody can't blame me for taking this leave. Truth be told, kinda looking forward to break from work too. Trust me, if i could blog about my job I would. Libraries are not always that quiet. 

Again reminder, this blog will be quiet for the rest the week and I won't be visiting blog after Tuesday night for awhile.   

 

Loud and Windy Weekend

Whoa, what a wild weekend with the wind. It just didn't blow through, it just roar though, constantly and it was very loud at times. Yea, it was fun trying to fall sleep Saturday night.  By Sunday afternoon, I was getting sick of hearing it. It kinda puts you on edge because you waiting to hear this big tree come crashing down or blink, you just lost power for a couple hours. Plus, all day it was on and snow showers and at times, look like mini blizzard.

By 5pm it seem like it was finally quietly down. nope by 6 it was roaring again. Surprisingly, this area didn't lost power. Which was wonderful since the wind chill was -5F

Also spent the weekend reclaiming my room from the Christmas tree.  Kinda glad to see it go but also sad to see it's reign end too.

Another reign that was ended over the weekend, was David Tennant as Doctor from Dr Who. He ranks up there with Tom Baker with playing the Doctor. The last few minutes of the show was heartbreaking to watch. Especially with Rose and Donna, his two lost loves.

I'll have to admit, I was kinda hoping for an older Doctor to replace David. But I'll give the new one a chance . Yet, it would be funny is he last only one season.Also when I was growing up instead of old. I was impression that the good Doctor could only regenerate only  9 times. Well hopefully with the latest Doctor, they will let the poor fellow have a love life with his companion. Nice that would be a wonderful change to the storyline.

The rumors are growing strong ever day about the Apple Tablet. Now it looks like it will either Jan 26 or 27th that it will be announce. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I do have a iPod touch  and there are times where I wish it was bigger, it's good for the games I played on it. However, I have two ereaders on it, that when I wish it was a little bigger. If Apple could some kind of iWorks on it. That would really be great for me. There's times where I was at the desk and wish I could type a poems I was working on. Granted I could fire up this iMac but now not to have to leave the desk and break my concentration would be better. Another thing it would be good for is work, bring something for the boss to see it. Then depending what on it, make the the changes there instead of waiting.

Just have to wait and see now.
