Daily Clerks

If you’ve ever sat down with me for more than a few minutes, you know that it’s hard to keep my attention. I know have I have ADD or attention deficit disorder or even ADHD, which is attention deficit hyper disorder. or something like htat. You look it up. =D

Here’s a great article about some research done regarding ADHD and kids with ADHD. They tend to be more creative! Go figure. It would also explain my impulsive behavior when it comes to purchasing things, making decisions as well as relationships. But that’s besides the point. What’s really interesting about the article is how they mention a person with ADHD as having the ability of extractability or thinking different. My motto has been “what box?” to reflect my idea of not being constrained by a box whether it’s the outside of the box or within.

So Apple didn’t bust out an iPod video per se, but they did launch some new ipods that can play video and has a wider color screen them. THey can play 30 fps so that you can watch video and htey do have tv out. I’m guessing since this is their first fun for the video component that later versions will have more native support and capabilities. Right now, they only play mpeg4 and mov files. The real kicker would be support for divx as well as avi files. Then this would be kick ass! As it stands though, this attempt is a good one.

They also updated their line if iMacs. They are now thinner, feature their Front Row software and remote which looks like an iPod shuffle and they also have a built in iSight. They also have a new feature called Photobooth which basically lets you take a picture and add some snazzy effects.

No, this isn’t a new Apple thing. It’s an online radio station called idobi radio. I just found it on itunes using their radio selection because I left my iPod somewhere. I’m hoping its in the car, otherwise I have no clue where it is as the last time I used it was Friday somewhere. Anyhow, this radio station plays pretty cool indie rock and as their site says, music that doesn’t suck.

So far, I must admit that it has been quite good. Quite a few new bands that I liked, and it really helps break up the monotonous routine of listening to pretty much the same songs over and over again.

Seems like most of the world is saying that there won’t be any iPod video coming out but instead some Powerbook updates will be happening. This sucks, but what can you do? It doesn’t really explain why there was a theater curtain in the invites. I would like to place my bet that there will be a video iPod.

But most people are saying that it’s just widescreen updates, which could explain the theater curtains because it’s a widescreen format. get it? Get it? Yeesh. How sucky if that’s the reason. Seriously. They just couldn’t show some big fat guy?

Lame-o’s.

We all love the Tivo dvr. I mean who can live without it? Besides my parents that is.

Knowing all of this, what can be done to improve it? Loads baby! Loads!

Currently the worst thing about the Tivo is that it does not sport a dual tuner option, so that you can watch and record one show while you record another show. This comes in handy for those days when you have multiple shows on at the same time. Like when scrubs is on and mythbusters is on at the same time. Makes. Me. Mad!

What do you want in a laptop? There are so many great laptops out there, but even though you can customize some of the components, there really isn’t one that truly suits me.

So with that in mind, here’s my laundry list for my ultimate laptop.

Aside from having the best dual core processor and 2 GB of RAM, here it goes.

- upgradeable video card, starting out with one that has 256 MB RAM
- built in dual tuner tv recorder
- composite video/audio out and in
- awesome sound built in speakers, like the Harmon Kardon in the HP zd series
- over 100 GB harddrive at 7,200 RPM
- 12 in 1 media card reader
- widescreen, could be 17 or 15.4 inch…make it touch screen!
- dual layer dvd burner

Anything I missed?

That’s my list. I’d love to have this all and make it the size of Apple’s powerbook series.
