Been a rough week…

Monday. had to go to my favorite place on the planet, Falls Church. While I am getting ready to fight South bound traffic on I95 I get a call from my Wife, and I find out that while we thought my son had the Flu, it was actually turning out to be appendicitis, ends up at one Hospital, and a CAT scan shows that it is on the verge of rupturing. mean while my son (12) is all kinds of pissed off that he has to go through all this crap, for something he doesn’t need… Getting reports all the way down from my wife on her fading fast cell. I make it to the Hospital moments before he goes into surgery. Long story short he’s pretty much all better, needs to take it easy for 5 weeks, not an easy task for a twelve year old…

At work got a bunch of of moves going on, bosses are tweaking that its not going to happen on time. 

Glad its over…

First things first, the announcements from apple at this years MacWorld were pretty weak, and life continues…

It gets more and more annoying that every time that apple has an announcement pending, that amount of traffic on non existent products that proliferate any and all news sources for weeks prior to the event. Even more annoying is that immediately following the announcement is that complaints that apple didn’t release any of the items that were in the rumor mill.

The one that really got me this time, was the dual video Mac Mini, why on earth would anyone produce an entry level machine with dual video. Then there were the reports of a dual video mac mini with a 1TB hard drive, cool but why….

This is as plausible as any of the other rumors out there…

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

I had some forced downtime, while waiting for my car, and I thought I’d put my new iPhone 3G to good use and catch up on some apple seminars. I did the registration thing, and was a little stunned to find out that I can’t watch apple seminars on my apple iphone….
To be fair, I have not looked through iTunes yet, but I will….
Besides this give me a chance to try out the new wordpress iphone app. The app seems to work pretty good.

I am wondering when…

I quit smoking about 8 months ago, and started exercising more (a lot more), and eating better (not good, but better), what I am wondering is when do I start feeling better… Where is all this energy that everyone tells me I am supposed to have now with this healthier lifestyle.

I do pretty good in the mornings, but come 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I feel like I am in total carb crash mode, and this happens regardless of how much or little or what I eat. 

To be totally honest, I feel about the same as when I smoked, except for the fact that my sense of smell has gone through the roof. I can smell cigarette smoke, from a car driving by with the windows rolled up. 

I just hope it is related to the smoke from the fires, it has been triggering a real low level allergy with me. The smoke has also been pretty prominent since I really kicked up the exercise. THe allergy thing is relatively foreign to me, as I usually don’t really suffer that much, a couple of sneezes at sunset, and I am good to go till the next night.
