Blib. Blub. Beelzebub. My head hurts (well not so much now). Maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t help thinking the tech world sometimes lives at the 1939 World’s Fair and occasionally flits forward in time to the 1964 one. Lots of cool stuff is on the way, but like the old days, it relies on spending lots and lots of money for some things that won’t e a reality until lots and lots more money is spent setting up circumstances for these products to work. Anyone know of a 4K television program or network yet? No? Well, you better get ready for TV’s that have colors and detail you might not want to see (and maybe the return of 3D. Again.). While this will be great for the demanding cinephiles out there, I can’t wait to see classics like Citizen Kane, The Gold Rush and many others re-re (and in some cases, RE)-restored in SUPER pore-counting detail and not a hair or scratch on screen (he said slightly snarkily)…

Meanwhile, smaller, smarter products that aren’t so pricey FINALLY get former future tech to actually work as it should or hell, function BETTER. I saw a few iPhone and iPad peripherals and accessories that Apple should have thought of and SHOULD be selling in their stores, but of course, they probably won’t because the do a really fine job of showing off the weak areas on their product lineup. That and all they need to do is wave a thinner laptop and a snazzier OS at the devoted to snap them back into that zombie lemming status that’s so desired by the company. We’re all going to the cloud with nary a whisper about what happens when (not if) we lose service do to naughty folks here or overseas who decide to pinhole that magical ether and see what falls out. But hey – you have to suffer for someone’s art, right? I guess as along as someone is raking in a lot of money (yours and mine) and stocking up on gold plated gold and boats the size of more boats, it’s all good at the end of the day…

Other than that, and losing my camera, bleh – I had an OK week. Well, tomorrow and Saturday still await. I need a Tootsie Roll Pop, but that damn owl is at it again. I should have picked a different old commercial, but every time I Google that old kid’s toy from the early 80’s called The Mystic Wand, I get NSFW stuff that makes me blush (ladies, you are SO bad!!!)…*beet!*
