Mom keeps telling me to do all these “pleasantries” whenever I talk to anyone on the phone. Why‽ I just want to get to the point and move on. Heck, most of the time I skip over “hello” as well.
Email and face–to–face conversations are my preferred means of communication. I don’t do IM anymore, and don’t like the phone.
Year two stat report: 801 posts for 365 almost–consecutive days.
This is post #2106.
I did not know that, and didn’t think it was this heavy when I picked it up.
And yet mine still leans forward a bit if I have the screen pulled low enough. Or is it because I have it on the carpeted floor so it doesn’t have a hard surface for support?
Now mine. 20–inch, USB 2.0, and it even has the optional Bluetooth built–in.
Don’t know what I’m going to do with it, though those speakers are nice, so I suppose I could use it as a Spotify player. Bass is unsurprisingly lacking, but still better than the MacBook Pro’s speakers that I’m used to. Which isn’t difficult but holy crap, there actually are two channels of sound! I still prefer my hf2 though.
Video’s going to be tricky, because even with ClickToFlash installed and using QuickTime’s player, G4s struggle with YouTube’s standard definition H.264 videos.
The keyboard and mouse are shit. I love the keyboard and multi–touch trackpad on my MacBook Pro, so it’s like “Command + Tab?! Haven’t done this in over a year!” At least I can map Exposé to Mighty Mouse’s nipple.
Unanswered iPad question: how are iWork apps going to handle custom fonts? As the iPhone OS is right now, it seems to fall back to an ugly serif font, even your font is sans serif.
Is it just me, or does it seem like when it rains Pierce Brosnan, it pours Pierce Brosnan? We don’t see the man for a few years — Mamma Mia doesn’t count? — and suddenly he’s in three movies — Percy Jackson, Remember Me, and this — simultaneously? Good for him I guess.
Though of the three, I’m looking forward to this the most.
