The Newest iPhone Convert

June 27, 2010 @ 6:49 am · Posted by Sah · Filed under Family, Technology

Aaron and I spent a day with Justin and Brian back in March. It probably won’t surprise anyone to hear at 3 years old, Justin has mastered the iPhone. He got the whole slide to unlock thing, and the drag finger to change screens a long time ago – but now he’s using apps, playing games. We keep telling his parents he needs one of his own, but their not going for it – yet :)
Here’s a small album of photos from hanging out with the nephews.

A new toy for Aaron (…well ok, for both of us)

13" Macbook

Last night we finally ordered Aaron’s overdue anniversary/Christmas/birthday present. We have been shopping for a laptop for a while now and finally settled on Apple’s new 13″ MacBook. To say Aaron is excited about it would be a bit of an understatement – he’s more like a kid anxiously awaiting Christmas morning. He went to the Apple store in the mall yesterday to check it out in person and came home satisfied that it would suit our needs… So it’s ordered and now we just wait.

Aaron's Sidebar

(where's Sah's?)

Listening to:

Santogold

Artist: Santogold

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Last watched:

The Wrestler

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Playing:

Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar Games

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
