I am a consumer whore, and at the same time an Apple fanatic. This is a dangerous combination. It has caused me to purchase multiple different computers. Mostly for the novelty, but also because I like to be on the cusp of what is new and interesting in tech.
First moments with the iPad
My first few moments with the iPad were pretty normal as far as any Apple product goes. The packaging is nicely done, displaying the ‘goods’ right away, giving you a sense of something great is to come. Starting the device for the first time brought up the regular “connect to itunes” icon, after connecting, it allowed me to skip syncing and start to play.
We’ve been doing a southern Ontario tour with an awesome electro pop band called “Dragonette”. Too many good times, and laughs to talk about here, but thankfully, Ben has made a video showing some of the good times. (Has been edited to be relatively PG).
We played CMW (Canadian Music Week) this past Friday night. This year, we played at the Supermarket – not normally one of my favorite venues. Its a bit weird/awkward as a venue because of the layout – its a long room, with a sectioned off part separating the stage/live area from a restaurant/bar. I should also add that i’ve had a few bad experiences with bouncers here, which probably sways my opinion of it as a venue.
This photograph is a pretty accurate depiction of what I actually looked like when Canada won the gold. This is saying a lot since, I don’t normally get into sports, nor even like hockey for that matter – I find it too chaotic, and rushed. Soccer (football) is more calculated, I feel like its more of a strategical game than ‘lets throw our bodies, sticks, arms, legs in the path of the puck, and hope it goes into the net’.
