Not to make this “all Apple, all of the time”, but in case you missed it today, Verizon is coming out with the iPhone 4 on February 10.
Hopefully this competition will help lower my AT&T bill …

February 10
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Four Years of Awesome
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Sunday was the tenth anniversary of iTunes, and apparently also the fourth anniversary of Apple’s iPhone!
I can’t believe that it took me four years to get one …
Disney Recipes
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011Ooh! Two of my favorite things: Disney and recipes! Check out: “Taste of Disney“.
Not many at this point, but maybe they’ll add more …
10 Years of iTunes
Monday, January 10th, 2011I missed this yesterday but it’s worth a mention – Apple’s iTunes music player software was released ten years ago, on January 9, 2001.
I for one wouldn’t want to go back to life before iTunes …
Civil War Myths

That’s why I enjoyed this Washington Post article: “Five myths about why the South seceded.”

Disney Israel
Friday, January 7th, 2011You might have seen this today: “Mickey Mouse magic: Disney plans Israel theme park“.
This is kind of not true.
Kind of.
The “Disney” in this case is not “The Walt Disney Company” but rather “Shamrock Holdings” – the investment firm set up by the late Roy E. Disney, nephew of Walt.
And the “theme park” is not a full park it’s going to be a movie theater and a mall.
But pictures of Mickey Mouse with “Israel” in the title sure sells more papers …
New Knee – Update
Friday, January 7th, 2011So Dad is doing well with his new knee, he got home last night.
And went promptly to bed.
I can only imagine a surgery like that takes a bit out of you …
New Knee
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011Sorry for the lack of posts, it’s been a busy few weeks.
Now today I’m distracted as my dad’s going in to Maine Med to get a knee replaced.
So please take a minute around 11:30 this morning to think of him. Thanks.
Regular posts will resume shortly.
