Monday's windy toady

Tuesday, Monday's toady. If Monday is the ever-unpopular play yard bully of the work week, Tuesday is Monday's toady little mini-bully. At least it's not Monday; that is the kindest thing folks say about Tuesday. Tuesday is the clean up squad after Monday finishes with you.




Monday of this week saw snow for the last day of winter, icy roads in the North end of our region, lots of accidents. Tuesday is mild of temperature, but started off with some high winds, buffeting the house and shaking me awake just before the alarm went off. And the work-week cast continues its parade by...

I have thought about doing a mini-review of the newest iPad (you know, the one without a numerical designation, which seems to be causing tech-journalists a great deal of discomfort), but there are so many excellent reviews out there that it seems quite pointless (here is a good one, for example). The retina display really is all that and a bag of Skittles. Like the iPhone 4, it is hard to articulate how much deeper and clearer the screen is from the non-retina models, but you can literally feel it, if that makes any sense. I think I notice it most when the keyboard is up on-screen. The letters on the keys look so clear as to be dimensional. Yes, the camera is loads better, but I just don't see the tablet as a camera. Battery life seems identical in my using so far. Otherwise, it is every bit as wonderful as the pervious version, which is saying plenty.

Saw a news story this morning that indicates Microsoft's Windows Phone OS is now outselling the Symbian OS in the UK. Wow! They may be on pace to outsell rotary phones in the near future. Meanwhile, Apple says they sold 3 million iPad-not-numerically-designateds this weekend alone.

Tuesday may have started off with a gust of wind, but the drive-in playlist was pure genius. How could a concatenation of songs like this not set a positive pace to the morning?

Today's full playlist:

- Wilco: War On War
- John Denver: The City Of New Orleans
- Cake: Cool Blue Reason
- Bob Dylan: Jokerman
- Brat-II Soundtrack: Agata Kristy
