What is the ultimate role of the Apple Tablet? – from MacRumors
The much-rumored Apple Tablet computer seems to ben getting even closer… and I’m possibly one of the few people totally excited by it! That is, if it turns out to be what I hope it is…

2 – Paris, in particular the Louvre
3 – Lists.

I’m a luddite. Really. It takes me a while to really get into new technology; I have to be completely convinced before I’ll set foot in unknown territory.

My room smells of newborn baby.
