Gadget Crisis.
In go - go gadgets I discussed my over-stock of gadgets. Well one thing has changed since then. Through a bizarre series of events I found myself selling my 5th Gen iPod a few days before leaving on a trip to England. Despite my promises to cut back on expenditure I couldn’t face the airport/aeroplane routine without an MP3 player
and so I took advantage of the moment and bought a 2nd Gen iPod Touch.Put simply the iPod touch has the best UI of any gadget I have ever had. It does have its problems but I will save comment on those until I have installed V2.2. However, for music, movies and game play the iPod Touch has usurped the Palm already. Now if it only had a GPS chip … More in a few weeks.
Speedy and Sparky
Given the financial issues we are all having I have started to wonder if there is a parallel acorn crisis. Our Tamias striatus friends might have fallen foul of some drop in the fruit and nut index and had their burrows repossessed. I feel this because we have not seen anything of them for a few months now. Of course if Nostradamus is right then the update below maybe why we are not seeing them; they are busy plotting again.
The End of world (new date)
So after my South Korean soothsaying Santé Fe incorrectly announced the end of the world last May, the calendar inside the car has just been quietly and repeatedly counting up from February 0 to February 9 all Summer. Then a month or so ago I noticed it had slipped past the 9th and started up to the 28th or 29th. Then a couple of weeks after that it passed the 29th and now sits proudly on February 42nd. That means the end of world will be held on January 20th 2009. Which is awesome, ‘cos it’s after Christmas but before we have to pay the credit card bills. Party Time people!!!!

You couldn't postpone it again until after my birthday at the begining of February could you?
