Blah, Blah, Blah -- another Saturday post

Good morning Blog world.

It is warm here in god's country, but the wind is picking up. For those of you who care, there will be some good basketball in the area this evening. I will admit I would not care much, but for the Butler Bulldogs appearance in the NCAA Final Four (copyright etc.). I lost interest in basketball when the IHSAA destroyed the single greatest basketball tourney in the world by putting class basketball in Indiana high schools. At about the same time the NBA became thugball and unwatchable.

I have some serious spring yardwork to do. I still have not cut down last years big grasses. I need to do some serious work in the flower beds as well. If we get any rain at all this weekend, I will have to mow this week, and the mower needs some work -- oil change etc. I really need to replace the blades as well.

I need to go to the store to pick up some items for Easter Dinner. My daughter is hosting her first family get-together this year. I will bring the ham and homemade scalloped spuds and/or mac and cheese. Like many of you we will celebrate the rising of the world's most famous Jew by eating a ham.

I have wasted too much time already on the interwebz. I watched a story last night about the new iPad. It looks perfect for the kind of computer use we have at the HB household. I want one. But it is not to be anytime soon. Finances are strained to the limit with the upcoming wedding. Plus, future models will have more of the bugs worked out. The inability to connect a USB drive or printer is a major problem.

Happy Saturday.

  2. I'd comment, but sounds like you're too busy to read it.
    No USB? WTH?

    Same thing I said when I first read about it: um, really? Is actually doesn't DO anything new. It only does some old things, slightly better (portability, ease of use), and many things not nearly as well (lack of USB, camera, no use of Flash, keyboard is questionable, etc, etc.). For all of Microsoft's crappy products, their hype-machine is so far less self-righteous than Apple as to be tolerable.

    Note the part of the story that says Gates introed a tablet 10 yrs ago...

    Anyway...Happy Easter.
