Net@Night and other musings
Tagged apple | iPhone | ipod | merlinmann | TWiT
It’s sad to hear that Amber’s leaving Net@Night. It truly was one of my favorite TWiT shows, though I really have a hard time picking my favorite.
Update: As I write this, I checked in at the TWiT forum, and it seems that Amber has decided to un-quit (though that makes it sound like it was much worse than I’m sure it was). However, I’ll still post my thoughts.
I really think someone needs to give Merlin Mann an hour long show. MBW is by far my favorite show, and not for the Mac talk (though I do love that). Merlin’s ratholes and pop-culture comments keep me laughing the whole time. From his Kung Fu Grippe tumblog, it’s clear he’s got enough to fill an hour a week. Though this may have to wait, what with the baby on its way. Congrats to the soon-to-be parents.
In other news, for the first time since I got my 5G iPod nearly 2 years ago, I managed to run down the battery. It’s quite due to the fact that I didn’t charge it last night after listening to it as I worked on an assignment, then kept it playing through the whole 2 hour bus ride (which I slept thorough), the subway ride home and then all the way to campus for class (plus most of my 1 hour break). Not bad for the little bugger. Now I just have to wait for Rogers to come out with the iPhone before I can replace this. I’m not gonna let mine get bricked.
Whew. Blogging is hard work.
