Chaos Theory
Some days can be pretty chaotic and in the end you still feel as though you did nothing.
Side Note: awaiting the new beta of flickr export for Apple’s Aperture.

Rain
Another New York Shot.
The plan is to take as many shots as I can when we go there over Christmas. Better stock up on memory cards.
WOW - 2 posts in 2 days - amazing :)

All I Want for Christmas . . .
Is it very sad that I want this?
I really could see myself happily spending hours building this.
It is $399.99 - I remember a small Lego Space kit costing me all of £1.25 (showing my age). It is very tempting indeed. It ships mid September (early Christmas or late birthday present to myself perhaps). We shall see.
From the Lego Website:
Battle inside the Death Star™!
Recreate the action and adventure of the Star Wars™ movies with the ultimate Death Star playset! This amazingly detailed battle station features an incredible array of minifigure-scale scenes, moving parts, characters and accessories from Episodes IV and VI on its multiple decks, including the Death Star control room, rotating turbolaser turrets, hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, tractor beam controls, Emperor’s throne room, detention block, firing laser cannon, Imperial conference chamber, droid maintenance facility, and the powerful Death Star superlaser…plus much more! Swing across the chasm with Luke and Leia, face danger in the crushing trash compactor, and duel with Darth Vader for the fate of the galaxy!
Includes 25 heroes, villains, droids and creatures!
Includes 6 new and exclusive minifigures and droids only found in this set: Luke Skywalker™ (Stormtrooper™ outfit), Han Solo™ (Stormtrooper outfit), Assassin Droid™, Interrogation Droid, Death Star Droid and 2 Death Star Troopers™!
Also includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi™, C-3PO™, R2-D2™, Princess Leia™, Chewbacca™, Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight), Darth Vader™, Grand Moff Tarkin™, Emperor Palpatine™, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Emperor's Royal Guards™, R2-Q5™, and mouse droid!
All-new Dianoga™ trash compactor monster!
Movie-authentic Death Star environments include the Superlaser control room and target monitor, Imperial conference chamber, TIE Advanced hangar bay with moving launch rack, Emperor's throne room, droid maintenance room, detention block, trash compactor, and much more!
Rescue Princess Leia from the detention block cell, then escape through the secret hatch to the trash compactor below!
Reenact the final duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in the Emperor's Throne Room!

It’s True. Life is too short for cheap dessert
Somedays you just need a coffee and a big slice of cake.
Boston Cream in case you were wondering.

Douglas Coupland & Darrell Fox
This is from the book signing “Terry” in Chapters, Vancouver a few years ago.
It was strange meeting Douglas Coupland for the first time after all those years of reading (and re-reading) all his books.
This reminds me, I haven't re-read Microserfs for a couple months :)

Back to NY at the end of the year. Christmas and New Year in the Capital of the World.
Should be fun.

iPhone v2
Rebranding of .Mac

One more thing?
Less than 9 hours until the Reality Distortion Field that surrounds Steve Jobs takes to the stage and we all hang on his every word.

Airport at Night
It just goes to show that anything to do with Apple will get views (and was even favourited by one person) on flickr.
This was a shot of my Airport Express Router at night (obviously).
