In the past half year, I’ve posted three times. That just won’t do. I’m back on the job. And while I risk this commitment falling through before it even starts, since I don’t have a pipeline of posts just waiting for me to click Publish on, I’m bursting with topics I’ve wanted to write about, but haven’t been disciplined enough to find the time for.

So many things have changed over the last half year.

One of the most influential men in computing technology, has passed away.

Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. Your legacy will live on.

Nokia launched the N9 earlier today, encased with some sweet looking industrial design. If they can bring some of this flair over to Windows phone, I’m on board.

The Meego OS looks darned good already, and with the unibody polycarbonate, flush glass (and curved) and extremely minimalistic design, it looks like great hardware. I’m not really certain what Nokia’s handset OS strategy is, with Meego appearing quite competitive.

One way or another, I hope this is the beginning of Nokia’s revitalization. They have the capability for sure.

After an absolutely hectic half year or so, the neglect here should finally be at an end. I’ve missed writing.

Exciting news incoming in the next week or two! I may finally have something worthwhile to write about.

I’ve finally discovered the joy of printing digital photos. It’s now 7 months into my stay in Seattle, yet sometimes my apartment still feels like a hotel, not personalized to the extent that I’d like. Running on some recommendations, I tried out Costco printing, with a few 12×18″ prints. They turned out pretty darned good – one had a nasty in blotch on it, but a quick call netted a new print, and all I had to do was swap the out the misprint.

Soon my walls will be filled. It’s a great incentive to finally post-process the tens of gigabytes of RAW photos sitting on my hard drives.
