In Canada

At the moment, I’m in Scarborough, Canada visiting my sister and her husband. My sister’s having a baby in December and we plan on coming back then. We wanted to see her before she gives birth so we decided to come here as soon as I got at least 3 days off. Luckily, thanks to Rosh Hashanah, we got 4 days off and we’re here now.

The trip was kind of strange since we left on Wednesday night and yesterday was the first day of Ramadan. We had to eat Suhr on the road. I bought a couple of those plastic bowls of Apple Jacks when we stopped for gas. The day wasn’t that hard except having to walk around Niagara Falls since my uncle had never been there.

Last Saturday, when our plans to come to Canada were made final, I ordered an iPod classic, hoping to bring it along on the trip. Of course, I ordered it a day too late and it didn’t arrive at my house till yesterday. Luckily, my aunt was at home to pick it up for me. It’s amazing how FedEx lets you see the receiver’s signature online. Expect photos of the new iPod as soon as I get home on Sunday.

My Life is Busy Now

There are a lot of things going on in my life right now. It’s not that different from any other time in my life. It’s just that I just noticed it more. I’ve been thinking about getting a DSLR. I know that won’t be soon since I’ll have to save up money. Also, I really wann ago to the Fifth Avenue Apple Store. It seems pretty awesome. I would’ve gone to see it if plans to go to Connecticut weren’t changed at the last minute. I’ll be spending tomorrow in CT. Should be fun. I also got my tees from Threadless. Fun tees.

Just Another Sunday

Photo Booth

Today, I went to the Apple Store with Rasidul and Sudman. It was pretty fun. We checked out the new iMacs and took Photo Booth for a test drive. It’s pretty cool. Something that’s good for when you have parties and such. You can just fire up your computer and let people take photos. Sudman and I took a really funny one, but we didn’t remember to post it to Flickr.

Sudman got a bunch of iPod nano Tubes for him and his sister. Sudman also blogged from the store. I wish he kept the browser open to his blog. I remember doing that way-back-when I used the old ‘zikken’ subdomain on Blog*Spot. I don’t think I had any readers back then. I just left one of the Macs subscribed to my feed. I also left a videoblog post on one of the (video) iPods.

New iMacs Aren’t Worth It

The new iMacs aren’t worth the money. They can barely hold enough stuff. Let me guess, you need to boot off the DVD to run OS X. (Notice that the slide says 160 MB and 250 MB!)

Bill Gates is Evil

I hate Microsoft. I can’t uninstall Windows Media Player on my Mac.

EDIT: I was able to uninstall WMP by holding down Option as I emptied my Trash.
