Not really love just yet, but I thought I would keep the theme of "I blank Mac" in my blog post titles. 

I do love the camera that is built into the mac. I find it to capture things more realistically than other digital imaging devices. For example, a lot of digital cameras catch me looking like someone I never met before while the Mac's camera captures me pretty well, though my eyes are not nearly as blue as the Mac shows (see the recent image).

Onto other things... I know I said was camping this weekend, but we came home to give our daughter a nap before we head back to he campsite. We had some business in the next town over after work yesterday and so she stayed overnight at her grandparent's house and we grabbed her this morning.

Happy birthday to me (yesterday), by the way! In case anyone cares, haha... It was a pretty uneventful birthday... Very strange being the first birthday without a certain someone whom passed away in October. All is good though -- the cycle of life :) 

I need a Mac! Well, I don't need a Mac, but I'd really love to get one so that I can jump into Objective-c. I have been waiting on my replacement mastercard card to get here in the mail so that I can hop on over to FutureShop London Drugs to pick myself up a spankin' new Macbook. It should only be a few more days, I hope!

If it comes tomorrow, I'll be a little bummed, since I have plans to go climbing after my daughter's bedtime with some people from work and my brother. In other words, I'd be too busy to use the thing! Wednesday would be good... Actually, Thursday would be perfect, since I could run down for some grocery shopping while I'm out of town grabbing the laptop :D

Ramble, ramble... If you've made it this far, perhaps I can reward you with this nifty tidbit I found on Slash Dot. It is an article about how the Brainy Gamers are dieing down as a new generation of "Lazy" gamers are being born. I use the term Lazy not in its literal sense, but in the sense that they are searching for instant gratification, which is easy to understand :P Here is the article.

The Twitter component keeps acting strange. Twitter, itself, is acting strange. They need some new servers and a few administrators to get that website up and running properly.

Every time I visit Twitter, I get the overloaded message, so I think it's safe to assume that my -- and possibly your -- Twitter component on Viviti isn't working properly due to an interruption in the RSS feed.

I wonder... Are there any Twitter alternatives out there?
