Mudkip's Journal

This is the best setup I’ve ever read. When I read the last paragraph, I was nodding and smiling. I’m really glad that there are so many people on earth having the same values and lifestyles with me. And with Pokémon and a dozen of geeky gadgets with me, I never feel lonely.

There is no doubt some overlap in my Apple products. I have reasons for picking each (which I’ve tried to list) but it’s clear I could do without one or two of them. The truth is, I don’t want to. I’m not wealthy, but technology is the one place I’m comfortable to splurge a little with money. My shoes are usually a couple years old, I’ve worn the same brand/style of clothes for 20 years, I’m fine with grilled cheese and a pickle for dinner. Like a lot of you, it doesn’t take many possessions to keep me going. But, I do like cutting edge technology, and I like learning what it can do.

So ideal? I suppose it’s whatever is coming next. And I’ll use it while wearing my old clothes and eating my sandwich dinner.

2011 is a important year for me. I appreciate this year, and there are many things worth remembering.

Siri: The Holiday Horror Movie

GoDaddy has a long shitty history of PR disasters. But at the moment, the unique Internet is still in danger.

parislemon:

“In the next six months we plan to market a tablet of the highest quality.”

That was Google Chairman Eric Schmidt speaking to reporters in Italy yesterday.

For those keeping score at home, that’s now three major things Schmidt has promised in the next 6 months.

At LeWeb a couple weeks ago, he promised that third-party developers would start writing the best apps for Android first instead of iOS in 6 months.

Later at the same conference, he said that “the majority” all televisions in stores in 6 months would run Google TV.

Now Google’s “iPad killer” is coming in 6 months.

It’s either going to be an extremely busy June for Google — or an extremely busy June for Google’s PR department when Google fulfills none of Schmidt’s promises. 

I feel ashamed that I said “the new Pokémon plugin for 52POKE forum will be ready in 6 months.” twice, now I have to say it again : (

Sorry everyone.
