Tumblr Cloud
I always get a kick out of seeing what my Tumblr Cloud says. I almost posted it but then I looked at it and saw just how depressing it is. Of course, the HUGE words on it are Apple, iPhone and iPad and the rest is a collection of words I’ve made up, variations of the word fuck and a clever combination of words such as “suckage” and “interwebz”.
Oh, dear.

Should I Get An iPad? →
I guess the reason I’m getting this question so much is because I have one. Well, that and because I’m the only obsessive Apple geek that people talk to. I really don’t mind getting asked questions about Apple technology. Hell, Apple should start paying me for the number of converts I’ve brought in for them. But that’s a whole other discussion.
Lately, with the initial iPad fever over and...

Long Falls
chrisjennison:
Tonight, I was dispatched to a “long fall,” a code of which I’ve never heard before tonight. So I asked dispatch, “Can you define what a ‘long fall’ is?”
Their reply was, “Between 9 and 29 feet. The patient fell down a flight of stairs.”
That fits the definition, I guess, but it poses an interesting philosophical question:
Is a fall down a flight of stairs really a long fall,...
New Hard Drive
I’ve been going through one of those phases lately where I want to get a new computer. Maturity and a dwindling bank account have made me less impulsive with decisions like this and after I thought about it, I realized that it didn’t make much sense to get a new Macbook right now. The last refresh was fairly recent, but minus a new processor, not much else changed. Not that it needed...

Sharpie has created a pen/pencil/Sharpie hybrid clusterfuck of writing. It:
Writes smoothly like a pen.
Erases like a pencil.

A jetBlue flight attendant upset because a passenger refused to apologize after accidentally striking him with luggage, allegedly spewed obscenities over the PA system, then activated and slid down a plane’s emergency chute before disappearing into a terminal at John F.

60 Minutes look specifically for people who can make their voices sound as bored as possible when they’re hiring? Like, “You’re a good journalist, we’ll give you that, but can you try that again with a little more incredulous disdain in your voice? Pretend we’re slowly pulling this story out of your ass with a string like a tampon.”

Apple Removes Antenna Comparison Page
chrisjennison:
“Apple has revamped the antenna performance page on its website, removing references to and videos of the performance of competitors’ smartphones in comparison to the iPhone 4. Apple launched the page after its iPhone 4 press conference to demonstrate how a number of other handsets, including ones from Research in Motion, HTC, and Samsung, as well as the iPhone 3GS, see signal...
