Huh? The store said it’d take two to three weeks, but my Camera Connection Kit arrived four days after I ordered it.

Apple Looking into Slow iOS 4 Performance on... →
marco: It’s a bigger problem than geeks like us might realize because Apple still sells this hardware. Their internals may be two “generations” old, but they’re still sold as new, current products. The iPhone 3G was still sold until last month. The $199 iPod Touch, with the same slow CPU and tiny RAM, is still being sold, presumably until the next iPod Touch update this fall. (Only the...

Watching F1: 2010 German GP
I wonder how hard Button and Hamilton will fight each other. Well done Massa! Very well done. Safety car for Buemi’s debris? That can’t be a timely stop for Webber. Hold it together now Massa. That’s Alonso’s chance to pass gone. Nice, Button’s jumped Webber with his stop. “Keeps encountering Virgins in all the wrong places.” Ha! No! You don’t ask Massa...

I believe I just spent half an hour looking at dresses. On The Sims 3 store. No big deal.

From the description: Driver Jeff Zwart in a Porsche GT3 Cup runs Pikes Peak and sets a new record for the Time Attack 2WD class — 11:31.095 — taking the Pikes Peak Time Attack championship for 2010. If I was invited to sit in the passenger seat, I wouldn’t hesitate to say yes, because the driver must know his stuff or he wouldn’t even be doing this. But I think I’d still...

4.0.1 update did its job: reception in house now two bars instead of five. I like this new, more sensitive algorithm.

As always, I’ve got my orange hair — go Netherlands — but first: Ron, Rubens, and Camaro on Top Gear.

Watching F1: 2010 British GP
Well, Webber got Vettel’s old chassis, so I suppose it’s fair Vettel gets Webber’s new front wing? What the hell happened to Alonso’s start? And how did Kubica make it up here? I wanna see a replay of the starts by the midfield cars. I wanna see how Button and Kobayashi made it up to the top ten. Thought Red Bull was going to do what they did in Istanbul and pit Webber...

Since the DVD drive is now fixed, I decided to pop in The Sims 3 and build a house I’ve had in my head for a while. Damn that thing is such a timesink.

Owl City’s Adam Young Releases A New Old Project →
Billboard: “If one artist puts out five different CDs with five totally different sounds under one name, it would be utterly confusing to people,” [Steve] Bursky says. “We want to open people’s eyes to Adam as an artist instead of Adam as Owl City.” That makes sense, but Sky Sailing still sounds like Owl City IMHO. Well, maybe more the early Of June Owl City than the current Ocean Eyes...

Maybe I got lucky last Friday with just a brief five- to ten-minute wait, but when I went to pick up my MacBook Pro today it seemed as if a good time to visit the Genius Bar at the Regent Street Apple Store is never. Also: debating with myself whether to vault or travel the Ollie I picked up today on Gowalla. I like the icons I collect to originate from places that are relatively — preferably...

It’s Bungie Day! Gonna go play some Halo 3, although what I really want to do is find people to do the Annual and Endure Vidmaster achievements with. I’m also expecting a ton of Reach news.

“Netherlands” and “Holland” →
It’s like “Britain” and “England”: not strictly the same thing, but treated as synonyms by the rest of the world.

My MacBook Pro’s now with Apple. They’ve replaced the swollen battery free of charge, but apparently it’ll be two to three weeks before I’ll get it back because of the SuperDrive. And while I was at the store I checked out the Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones. My ears loved them. Now I just need to decide whether it’s worth dropping £250 for them even though my...

Tapulous Acquired by Disney  →
What the… Whoa. Did not see that coming at all. I’m really happy for those guys. I just hope Disney won’t ruin the Tap Tap brand and games. Highly unlikely I think, but I wonder if Steve Jobs liked them enough to convince someone at Disney to buy them.
