Boot to the Head
Has been one crazy week in the tech sector with Apple unleashing Boot Camp and monkeys stealing cell phones from Englishmen. I know some people who think that primates are pretty cool, but I bet they will be singing a different tune once some chimp jacks their Blackberries. As for going to Boot Camp, I really have only one motivation: To be a pirate. No, not a software pirate, but rather a swashbuckling buccaneer in the South Pacific. For all the FUD surrounding Apple’s dual-boot solution, I have a feeling that it will largely go the way of video DVD playback on the Xbox and PS2...A nifty feature that everyone talks about yet rarely uses.
In other Window XP news, it still frickin’ sucks. Spent the last two days sorting out a software meltdown at work courtesy of M$’s incredible security features. Not one hostile program on the computers and good ole XP beats the crap out of an application vital to our business. Bill Gates, if you are reading this, I owe you one good kick to the nuts and a thorough egging of your house (or bunker?) near Lake Washington.
Finally finished watching all the episodes from the British version of The Office. Is a good trip but not near as polished or funny as the Yankee incarnation. Ricky Gervais is largely irksome in his role as boss-man David Brent. There’s no way that guy could be a shift manager at Taco Bell let alone any white collar outfit. Office sycophant Gareth is alright, but if you really need the right tool for the job, no one beats Dwight Schrute. Speaking of tools, I’m gonna go read MC Hammer’s blog. I’m sure a big celebrity like him has something more interesting to say than the rest of us normal, crappy punk-ass bloggers. Fresh for 2006, you suckas.
Kenny Rogers was on American Idol this week. Some people think my dad looks like Kenny. Are they idiots? You be the judge.
