As mentioned in my last posting, I finally got my MacBook Pro i7 today. Here are some pictures I’ve taken of my working station. all Apple. I guess I should get to work now.



My iPad screen has gone unprotected for more then a month now and impressively, there are still no visible scratches. It is a huge accomplishment on my part. What’s more impressive is that my wife uses it and there’s still no scratches! But now that the iPad is finally here in Vancouver, I decided I’d go out and look for a screen protector, just in case my luck runs out. I purchased a package that came with 2 screen protectors, made by i-Con. It comes with a matte finish and a glossy finish protector. It was only $20 CDN, but if you really put it in perspective, that’s a ridiculous price for 2 flimsy plastic stickers. Oh, and the air bubbles are not included…
So I’m working at home today and thought I’d take a break and figure out how to jailbreak my iPhone 3G so I can tether with my iPad. I downloaded RedSnOw and have been following the instructions on youtube…so far so good…more to come.

12:20pm: Success! I can now tether with my iPhone. Thanks Shelb for pointing me to the right direction.
Note: Don’t where your polarized sunglasses while using the iPad…you won’t be able to see the screen. I rebooted my iPad twice because I didn’t see anything, thinking it froze on me…then I took my RayBan’s off…[idiot]

The unveiling of my iPad! As expected, the tablet is as simple as it looks…easy to use, slick, clean. Unfortunately, because I live in Canada, I’m unable to access the Apps Store to download the latest iPad Apps. I could go ahead and open up a US iTunes account to access everything, but that means wiping everything off my iPad later when I want to go back to my original account. Overall impressions thus far…love it! Is there an actual need for this gadget? Probably not. But whenever Apple creates something new, “I want to go to there” – Liz Lemon ’30 Rock’.
