Geekyness

I was planning to go to a yoga class today, but some work came up and changed my plans and I spent the evening there instead. When I was leaving my boss asked me if I wanted a Futureshop (gadget store) or Chapters (book store) gift voucher, which was much appreciated - not of course worth my time but still a nice gesture. However that was a tricky choice - is my love for technology bigger than my love for reading and books? In the end I decided that if it was a matter of $50, it had to be books - that'll buy me couple of books whereas $50 worth of technology isn't really that much. If only all my problems were like this!

And while in the subject of technology, have I told you lately how much I love my little Mac? It's the little things that make a difference - for example I like to change my desktop image fairly often: it's usually something topical like a TV series I watch, WWE PPV or indeed a movie I've seen. So this weekend I had to choose which one of the Pride and Prejudice wallpapers to choose - but the thing is, with my Mac I don't have to choose: I can download them all and then set them on automatic rotation, OS X changes them for me every 15 minutes. I know, I know, I'm extremely geeky and this is a minor thing, but it's one of those minor things that make the user experience with my Mac so pleasant. It does nice I things I want.

Apple of course is taking all the advantage of my newfound fandom and sent me an email today giving me suggestions on what I should give to my family as for Christmas. I think it's a bit ambitious even for them to think that I would buy a computer each for my parents though...
