I’m fine with snowing. I’m just not okay with melted snow, slush, and the numerous, possibly large and unavoidable, dirty, disgusting puddles and miniature lakes it leaves behind.

How funny would it be if it turns out the slot on the RB8’s nose is purely cosmetic and only serves as a diversion?

I wonder where that duct goes.
(Wish I could embed the video instead.)

I’d expected Top Gear’s China visit to be a bit uncomfortable to watch since seeing the trailer. And in fact, yes, it was a bit uncomfortable/cringe‑y.

Retrieving Documents Deleted by iCloud →
So that was…weird. I just watched all of my Numbers documents on the iPad being swallowed by iCloud right before my eyes. Went to iCloud.com to check, and they were gone from there as well.
My first plan was to turn off document syncing on the iPhone to preserve the copies there, hoping that I can then plug it into my Mac and retrieve the files through iTunes. But even though I had Numbers...

Mitt Romney actually reminds me of my Advertising and Marketing Communication lecturer. Just superficially, appearance‑wise. Don’t think he’s backwards like all of this rounds’ Republican presidential hopefuls. I’d trust him with America more than I’d trust the Republican Party with America.

John Browett Joins Apple as Senior Vice President... →
I trust that Apple knows what they’re hiring, but I won’t be surprised if the guy from Dixons turns out to be the next Mark Papermaster.
Why did they have to look outside though? Did Ron Johnson not train a suitable replacement? Did no one inside Apple want the job?

WatchLovely.
Also: don’t know if Acura worked with The Onion on the scripts or not, but they seem to have planned out this sponsorship well. Kept anticipating a new “Acura‑ate” line.

Got Cities XL off Steam last night. This thing is going to ruin my life.
Also, getting the itch to build my own PC again. My laptop, with its four cores and hyperthreading, is great for 3ds Max, but the graphics card isn’t so good. TrackMania at maximum — including a native resolution of 1920 × 1080 — is fine, but not Cities.

Put Your Favourite Threadless Tee on Your Xbox... →
Finally! It’s just a shame there aren’t more of my favourites though; only one of the sixteen guys’ tees do I actually own in real life.
Imagine every Threadless shirt ever made available to Xbox Avatars. That’d be cool. And replicate my real world t‑shirt addiction online.

Cognitive ergonomics… Is it ironic that I forgot to pay attention to the time in a paper that includes a question on situation awareness? I spent way too much time on drafting and the first answer.
Anyway. That was the third and last of this batch of exams mind vomits. And unless I decide to do postgrad stuff, also the last in my academic life.
What to do now… Finish reading the Steve Jobs...

If Nintendo ever decides to bring the Pokémon card game to iOS/Windows Phone…
