Semi-Hiatus Over
Wishing I was on hiatus because I was really on vacation, but missed several weeks of posts because I was actually tied up on another project and just can’t find anymore time nor the energy to get online after banging my head on the monitor dealing with the folks involved in this project. Hopefully in the next few weeks, it’ll be finally done. It’s almost like looking forward for that root canal to be over with…
In any case, not much really has happened in the past several weeks. I still haven’t seen Avatar (probably won’t see it til it comes out on video). Most of you would probably be saying, you don’t know what you’re missing. You should see it on 3D… Yada-yada-yada… Dunno, but I don’t really think it’s that big of a deal, I guess I’m one of the few out there. I prefer having a quiet, relaxing in my couch, watching a good story line over any movie that is over-hyped with effects and explosives. Not much of a movie geek to begin with. Don’t get me wrong, I like movies, but I don’t go bonkers over it. As a matter of fact, I like technology also, but you’ll never see camp out 3 weeks, 2 weeks or even 2 hours in advance in front of an Apple store awaiting the next iPhone release. Seriously, I just don’t get the point why someone would. Can someone explain?
Just rented “Up”, “Cloudy with a chance of meatballs” and “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and I still have to put in Transformers in the DVD player. Yes, that bad…
…
All that said, this being a tech/business blog I figured for the first full entry of 2010 I share some of the tech/biz news that has hit the web in the first 11 days of the second decade of the 21st century:

2. New Year’s Resolution – “I will attend CES 2011.”: Computer Electronic Show
3. It takes an orange to spill the beans on an apple: I could care less, really.
4. Mark is my Big Brother: Sucker for Zuckerberg.
5. And tad-ta-ra-ra!!! Drumroll, please… Presenting Your New True Companion…: Can you say creepy?
