I want an iphone!!!
July 14, 2008
Going against the trend of blackberry-wielding friends, I am getting an iphone instead. Why get something that reeks ‘work’ when I can have a ‘toy’ instead?
A swishable device that handles my exchange email and allows me to browse websites ‘pretty’ + pop my fav music into it… I say “WHY NOT?”
If I’m gonna be a geek, I’ll be a fashionable one 
Ha-
Bills, Apple Store n’ Great Friends!
June 29, 2008A perfect Saturday = Lunch @ Bills + a trip to the new Apple Store + Great fun friends!!!
Some days cannot get any better. It was a perfect clear-blue-sunny-sky day… and after yummy scrambled eggs with avo n’ super extra crispy bacon with sourdough (+ a kind dessert serving of ricotta hot cakes with honeycomb butter n’ banana compliments of Jenny), we headed to the brand new Apple Store on Kings Street.
Hey what can I say? I must surely have some geek DNA within me… n’ probably not just normal geek genes but Apple-inclined ones It’s the FIRST Apple Store in Australia and SECOND largest in the world so I just had to check it out! Very obviously, not many people get how passionate I am (about a lot of things! haha…) about Macs but I just LOVE how Apple creates
BEAUTIFUL THINGS that are INTUITIVE and FUN TO USE… Not to mention INTELLIGENT!
It’s not your ‘normal’ stuff you know… like a boring laptop or a BORING UGLY desktop that you have to work on… It’s more like an aesthetically appealing work of art that happens to be technologically (more than) viable, that has programs with great ’skins’ (totally makes working more motivating!) that DOES FUN STUFF! Life is too short for boring things… C’mon!
(Ok I love ichat-video-conferencing with all the guys @ work! Ha!)
And look! On the third floor of the Apple Store resides the Genius Bar…
Apple users must be GENIUSES! That’s just how it is!!! :p
Jenny n’ I spent a little while chatting with this guy at the Genius Bar about Macs, iphones (is so much better than a blackberry!!!) and everything else… like how he got to work there and what’s in his lanyard-badge-thingamgic (ID, Name Cards…) when I got interested in his little 2-fold card Apple Creed card thing (from the thingamgic) that’s kinda equivalent to a Starbucks ‘Green Apron Book.’ So I asked if I could have it… to which he replied in the negative and said that each staff only has one in all their whole career and it could not be given to anyone! *Hmph!*
For anyone who truly knows me, I love to find out what drives the success of any store/corporation/organisation with happy employees so… with the added motivation of a love for all-things-Apple, now I really want that card… Help anyone?
Anyhow… I’ve made my reservation @ the Genius Bar and will be popping back tomorrow with my MacBook so that they can pimp it up n’ teach me more…
I’m totally delighted!
