Obamarama!

"The Democrats have the election in the bag, so what do they do? They put up a woman and a black man!" – Me, paraphrased, drunk, sometime last year.

Well America, I've never been so happy to be wrong.

Wayne Coyne:

"We'll probably be doing Christmas On Mars until January, so in March we'll start recording our latest batch of songs. That means by next June or July we should have another Flaming Lips album out. Our last one came out in 2006. Time goes by too fast."

Yes yes yes!

( Also, that one! )

I'm not a reviewer, but I can play one in a shopping centre.

Hit up the Chadstone Apple Store this evening to play with the new Mac Books. The build quality is absolutely awesome, and it highlights just how plastic the old MacBooks truly were.

The new trackpads are just perfect. Remember when the iPod mini, and subsequently the 4th-gen iPod, introduced the click-wheel and the old design suddenly made no sense? Same effect. The new trackpad preferences are nicely customisable, even if opens the door to right-click abuse...

Having said all this, I'm going to stick with my current MacBook Air until they're revised with the new trackpad. I'm sure hoping my MacBook gets an upgrade, though! ;)

Nerd rant of the moment.

My LiveJournal account just expired, but I'm not paying again until I can get an authenticated RSS feed of my friends page.

Computers for the body.

I got a bike yesterday.

I got to work in 10 minutes this morning. I got from South Yarra to the CBD in 20 minutes this afternoon. I got from the CBD to home just now.

I LOVE BIKE!

You know, the Macintosh was almost called Bicycle...

Now my daily commute is a walk from Richmond to South Yarra, I'm thinking about getting a bike.

I haven't rode since high school. I know nothing about bikes. I've heard the Giant CRX series is good. Help?!

Flamebait...

...fresh from Twitter:

My elitist Apple side is pissed about queuing with the proles. Why should I have to fight some fucking Windows user for an iPhone?

I kid. ~~Really~~Mostly.

Rock Band > Every Other Music Game.

Rock Band is so much better than that other game, and it's not just because of the bass, drums, and vocals. It's also the ridiculously awesome downloadable content.

Blur - Beetlebum
Blondie - Call Me, Hanging on the Telephone
David Bowie - Heroes, Moonage Daydream, Queen Bitch
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love
The Cars - Just What I Needed, My Best Friend’s Girl
The Clash - I Fought the Law
Garbage - Why Do You Love Me
The Hives - Die, All Right!
The Knack - My Sharona
Maxïmo Park - Girls Who Play Guitars
Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
Muse - Hysteria
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger, Live Forever, Wonderwall
Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven
The Police - Can't Stand Losing You, Synchronicity II, Roxanne, Message In A Bottle
The Ramones - Rockaway Beach
Radiohead - My Iron Lung
Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
T.Rex - Bang a Gong
Weezer - Buddy Holly, El Scorcho, Dreamin', The Greatest Man That Ever Lived, Troublemaker
Wolfmother - Joker & The Thief

And then there's the list of included songs...

I like Vodafone now.

Airport ranting.

I signed up to a Vodafone 5GB mobile data plan, including a Huawei E220 USB modem.

Did you know Vodafone are switching to Macs?

After being stuck at the airport, the sales guy was nice enough to use his MacBook, download their latest software, and dump it on my external hard disk. (The CD was no help, because 1) I own a MacBook Air, and 2) the included CD is from 2006 and doesn't know what a Leopard is.)

He also was happy to babble about their new Macs and the upcoming iPhone, which was nice.

Anyway, back to drinking my $35 worth of Cascade Green. Can't wait to get out of this city.
