The Sun Has Returned

Right now is the first of those sunrises of the year where the walls are painted golden against the light blue sky. New York seems still. And clean. The sun has returned to New York City.

Were You Out Last Night?

no. went home. tapped fingers. missus came home. silence. tapped fingers.

Stuff: Apple TV

Steve Jobs finally announced his interactive TV in his keynote speech of Macworld 07 under the name Apple TV. Apple TV is a wireless entertainment box that allows you (and 4 other computer users) to play your entertainment media from your computer to your TV or home entertainment center and 720 dpi resolution.

It also allows you to stream media from Apple Tv to your computers. The box has a 40GB hard-drive that holds films and music on it. All 5 computers in your house can wirelessly watch the videos on the Apple box.

The box is designed to play TV shows, films, music, podcasts and photos. It can also connect to your comupter through USB cable.

We've been waiting along time for this. Apple are taking orders at their storeand will be shipping their products in February.

Which one of these buggers do you think I used to be:

Stuff: Rather Small HDHD Sanyo Camcorder

Sanyo-Camcorder

This rather slim number comes with high definition, hard drive and, wait for it, pistol-grip. Looks good for all that point and shooting action. Love how the image on the screen always suggests you could use it in bed. Engadget has a description:

Maintaining the same pistol-grip form factor and 720p resolution as its predecessor, the HD2 kicks the stills up to seven megapixels, delivers 75% better low-light sensitivity, and perhaps best of all, ships with a docking station that sports HDMI out. Like the HD1a, this new model boasts support for SDHC, and Sanyo claims that a big fat 8GB card will store almost three full hours of footage. Other notable specs include 16:9 mode, a 2.2-inch LCD, 10x optical zoom, and spoken directions to help newbs get shooting right away. Expect the HD2 to drop sometime in March, and even though you're getting a number of improved features, Sanyo managed to knock $100 off of the HD1's initial price of $800.

Diary: NYE 06

Diary: NY Times Publishes Vital Info 3 Months 14 Days Too Late

From the NY Times with the answers I would have given on September 2nd 2006 Relationship experts report that too many couples fail to ask each other critical questions before marrying.... 9) Have we reached a clear understanding of each other’s spiritual beliefs and needs, and have we discussed when and how our children will be exposed to religious/moral education?

Diary: Rehab Lately

A friend in the bar, stirring his straight-up drink with a little red straw, confides in me that he's just spent a month in rehab.... The one where you keep your hand on the other person just long enough to say 'I care' but hopefully not long enough to say 'hey, I'm touching you up'.

Benny Burritos Puts The Knife In

I already complained to Benny's Burritos of Greenwich Ave by phone this evening about the slop they delivered to me which was supposed to be a Grilled Chicken Salad. Then I noticed all these knife punctures in one side of the tortilla.

DJ Dasani

The waiters who fifteen minutes earlier were singing happy birthday out of tune are now looking over at the Lady signing the words of a song she's trying to recollect.... When the Lady gets to a song she doesn't know she asks him how it sounds.
