Citizens Unite!

Posted by DesertFox on July 3, 2012, 10:06 p.m.

Citizens unite! Unite against the tyranny of the mods! Of the administrators! They hold all the power, and lord it over us as if we were mere peons! Those bastards! Oh wait, these are my 'In case of user uprising' cue cards. >_> Ignore that.

I've been so very busy lately, and today I wondered how things are in 64digitslandia, so I decided to pop in and blog for a bit, see how the citizens are doing, quell any riots, such forth.

So what is what? iPad is what! Despite being an iOS developer, I've always been 'meh, iPads are cool but I'd rather use my laptop'. I was wrong, iPads are awesome and I can't believe I didn't get one earlier. I've installed a bunch of stuff on it, and now its my email, video player, interweb surfer, and kind-of games player.

Furthermore, I got car insurance! I bought my car from family, and it was insured for a bunch of months so I didn't have to pay, but that ran out so I had to get my own insurance. However, because of my perfect driving record and the fact that I went with the same agency it was already insured by, its only 65$ a month! Hurrah!

Also, I had an awesome weekend. Why? Weeeeelll… Hold on, let me go get something out of the closet. My boyfriend *le gasp, for those who didn't already know* visited after six months of not seeing each other. Ah, there we go.

It was in planning for a long time, and when he got here it was like 'screw the plans!' and we did random things. To summarize, we saw two movies (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Brave), went down to Austin and went tubing (took all day), went mall-wandering, bought things, went book shopping, bought books, and did stuff.

You don't realize how much you miss someone until you have them back, and when you do, its nice to be able to hold them in your arms as you fall asleep. I'm sad that he's gone again, but am very happy to have had him back for the time that he was here. So it was a very good weekend indeed.

I saw Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, was not surprised about how disappointed I was.

That would sound pretty awesome if it wasn't for the fact that you can probably do all those things on a laptop, so if you actually need you take a laptop with you to work, taking an iPad, too, makes it sound like you need to take two things instead of one :<

Also, I think I'd like tablets a lot more if they made them look more like books. I was even wondering if it'd be possible to have a cover which is also a keyboard on the inside (except it'd be vertical rather than horizontal, or have both variants on it) and can be hid behind the tablet itself.

I think that's a problem with most films with a ridiculous premise.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it was absolutely terrible, but also absolutely awesome. I went in not expecting any reasonable plot, didn't get any, and was perfectly happy with that. I would totally watch it again.

It's all about expectations. Also, I lurve cheesey movies like this.
