God damn it the fuck Jesus.
I love you, Apple, even though you make me cry. After backing up my computer for two months using Time Machine—Leopard's new built-in backup mechanism—I re-installed my computer after it kept crashing. Upon examining the backups closer so as to restore them, I find, to my dismay, that the backups are empty. All of my work, ever (with two exceptions) is gone.
1337 iPhone 31f, FTW
So, I have an iPhone. Okay, that's cool, but it's limited to AT&T, right? Well, not mine. No, mine's working quite happily on Rogers, the Canadian branch of AT&T. That's right, I have one of the elusive unlocked iPhones. Unlocked by mine own hand controlling two very sharp needles.
iPhone, therefore…
The Apple store trip today was, well, a trip. It was very neat slapping down $2,400 on the counter and humbly requesting three iPhones, a copy of Aperture, and two iWork '08 family packs. Note that the cash for one of those iPhones and the family packs was provided to me by those in Panama requesting delivery service.
My new MacBook...
Okay, I've fallen in love with Mac OS X - it's beautiful, responsive, customizable, and powerful. Based on UNIX I am able to run my favorite command-line applications without modification (ipython), server processes (CherryPy & LigHTTPD), and have quite the smattering of widgets available at the touch of a button. It's only missing a few things - like the ability to even view the contents of the external HDD I'm using to store the files from my old laptop. Oh well.
Where do you want to go today?
I had originally thought that this was Microsoft Corp.'s slogan, but to my dismay I have discovered otherwise. I purchased online a MacBook from Apple Canada's online store.

花鳥風月

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man person perish, yet the inward man person is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

— 2 Corinthians 4
