Today I travel to tropical paradise Cleveland OH. Temperature: -6 (feels like -13). Lovely.
Of course, that’s Celsius, but it’s quite cold.

Fantastic Four teaser trailer
The Fantastic Four trailer has been posted on Apple’s Quicktime Trailers website.
I think Ben Grimm looks like he’s made of rubber instead of rock (after all he probably is made of rubber). And Doctor Doom does not even appear to be King and Evil Ruler of Latveria! What the hell were they thinking! Shit it looks like they’re going to ruin this one.
As long as they don’t screw Superman up.
See number 2
This is straight from Apple’s website:
The Ultimate in ease of use or avoiding a lawsuit?
PS: Mac mini is cool… but sadly no Powerbook speedbumps for me (yet).
MacWorld San Francisco – The Analysis
Two and a half days to go until Steve Jobs delivers his keynote speech at the opening of MacWorld. Perhaps more than ever (or at least since I have followed Apple in a disturbingly close way that borders in stalker-style obsession) the rumors are all over the place.
This is what we have so far:
– New XServe and XSan a week before the keynote… Making some room for other announcements Steve????
– Rumors about an Apple-branded Office replacement.
– Rumors about cheap(er) iPods with flash memory.
– Rumors about a $500 (gasp!) Mac (will I live to see that day?).
– Apple sues rumor websites for posting trade secrets (so is it true then?).
– No webcast of the keynote, and Apple Stores will not show it either (why are you punishing us)?
– Today at CES, Motorola shows off a new iTunes-compatible cell phone with an iPod-like interface. We’ll see more of that on Monday for sure. Marcos is a very very very stupid man that just renewed a one year contract with T-Mobile. Very very stupid.
– Somebody leaks pictures (and a video!) of the iHome. This looks to me like a (not very elaborate hoax). Why? “Media Centre” (in the U.S. it’s “Center”). Also, the CD slot looks too wide, and the ports look Photoshopped on. The corners don’t look right. Still… nice try.
Will they deliver my new speed-bumped Powerbook? We’ll see….

Wax on, wax off
Moises-san has pointed the way to a new off-broadway musical, based on the smash hit movie from the 80’s The Karate Kid.
It’s Karate, Kid! the Musical (that’s how they punctuate it) will open soon in NY. It looks at least as bad as it sounds (it sounds very bad). Check out the main theme: Wax on, wax off.
Deep inside, I hope this is all a big hoax. But sadly it looks real.
Christmas vacation
I just had two days off from work because of Christmas.
This year, I did not follow the Christmas custom of going to the movies and eating chinese food.
Instead I went to Houston on Thursday (Rony Levinson was in town), and him, David, Betty and I went to one of those parties they have every year.
Then we drove back to Austin for another one of such parties and to play FIFA (mostly to play FIFA).
note to self: I’m no longer undisputed king, I must practice, defeat gives me shilshul.
Then we drove back to Houston for yet another one of these parties. Which actually turned out to be a lot of fun.
The “can’t get much lower than this” highlight of the night: A vietnamese dude showing off his calf in a Starbucks at 3:00 AM. Although it might have been a nightmare. I’m not sure anymore.
As a closing thought for this post, I want to say that whoever I told what I was doing (the back and forth traveling thing) would ask me the same thing: “Why would you do that?”. I wish I had a penny for every time I heard that. But even more so, I wish I had an answer.
