a new career low

I've reached a new low in my career. My boyfriend has convinced my new GM to try to hypnotise me so that I'll buy an iPhone . It's hard enough living in a geek household, but it's entirely not fair that he had to pull my big boss in on it. And given that

some WWDC notes

One of the weirdest parts about coming to WWDC is that it's one of the few places in the world where there's a line for the men's bathroom but not the women's. I feel like shouting 'neener neener' at them when I walk straight in to the women's room. Although

wishlist check-in

So how did my wishlist stack up against the reality of the Stevenote? Well, there were no hardware announcements, so there went (1), (4), (5), and (8). The Leopard Finder is now Freakin' Fixed, or it's at least better than before, so I'll give myself

chat at WWDC

I'm going to be at WWDC for most of the week, so email me if you want to chat sometime during the week. I'm always happy to talk to like-minded geeks and compare notes on the cool things we've seen at WWDC. :)
