OK, the Apple Store is insane. It's nearly 8:00pm and the place is absolutely packed. I finally found a MacBook which wasn't being used. The place is scary, it's like some insane cult. It's just mad. You come in here and it's genuinely technology porn. You can't help wanting some of the oh-so-beautiful machinery.
And the iPod touch is sensational. I just spent half an hour browsing the web on one. The interface works so well it's mad. Now that Apple has said they are releasing an SDK in February, I can only imagine the apps that people will create. Imagine a multi-touch Kaoss pad or something like that. The only way that would possibly be cooler is if they released a multi-touch Mac Tablet. The Nokia N800 does basically the same stuff, and runs Linux, and can take SD cards, and has loads of apps out for it, and so-on. But it just hasn't got that sheer design beauty that you get with Apple stuff. I have to admit I think this MacBook is pretty damn nice too.
Anyway, London is treating me well, the Tube has been OK so far except for the Jubilee line this morning. The queues were so bad that five trains went past before I was able to get on and squidge myself into a strangers armpit. Yummy. Luckily I was only going one stop. This evening after the course finished, found an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet for £8.00 including a very nice cup of green tea. I think I should leave the Apple Store before I buy something I can't afford. In fact it may already be too late. My old iPod 3G has a duff battery and can't be charged via USB... OH FUCK IT.
I originally was going to count November and December of 2007 as part of '2008 - The Year of Thriftiness' but I don't think I'll be able to. Damn it! I am such a cock.
