the past and pending.

it usually takes me around 8 minutes to figure out how to drive someone else's stick shift.

my safari tabs are links to the chain that is my stream of consciousness.

i caught myself standing inline for the taller drinking fountain...the smaller one was vacant but there was a line for the tall one. is the water different from the taller? is the extra 3 inch stoop that much more work? or is it that the smaller one was labelled as inferior to those who drank from it in grade school...and the label of being smaller and inferior still scares those who lived through childish ridicule?

apple, inc. just held another wwdc to announce the new OS that will be emerging as the tiger replacement in october as well as the cross platform safari browser that now can be downloaded on windows. the third announcement was about the iphone. it appears that apple's cult following (generally) is disappointed with apple's switch to being a platform company and not just a computing company. it is interesting how organizations can generate such cult followings with its products/services....and that these followings have strong holds to the roots for which they began their follow. it reminds me of people who get mad when green day 'sold out' or when shred heads get upset when their euphoric spots are discovered. it amazes me - the general sense of ownership that cult-followers adopt and the notion that no one can follow their following. or that change is unnacceptible. its funny...in a twisted sort of distortion.

my bra-in-law just gotta harley. i want one.
