004

So I have been meaning to be more regular with my updates, but the recent series of snow-tastrophes and ensuing chaos have been keeping me away from the internet. Thankfully I shall be getting a new computer of the mobile variety this week, so it should be a bit harder to keep me from airing random reflections.

I feel like its a bit cliché at this point to bitch about the recent weather, so I will speak my piece and move on. In pictures and through the window the sight of freshly fallen, pristine snow is something absolutely beautiful. Outside of that context however snow is cold, wet and miserable. My opinion on ice is similar, except that ice is also delightful for chilling one's beverage on a hot day.

Speaking of the computer thing.. in a few days I shall be purchasing a MacBook Pro. I know that there are those that think I am wasting my money. I have heard all the arguments for all of the various computers. Once upon a time, I probably would have cared too. I play video games. This should not be news to anyone that knows me. There was a time when I would have strongly preferred a PC. However in recent years I have become much more of a fan of console game, and that really eliminates my main reason for wanting a new PC. After a lot of contemplation over the last several months, I have decided that I want to get into the media development field. Ideally this is the sort of thing that I want to do. I know that Apple no longer really dominates the market for media development, but I am ready for a change of pace. Besides, it isn't as though I intend to get rid of my desktop PC. I intend to keep maintaining it and upgrading it as the need arises. It just won't be my primary machine anymore.

I feel like I am not alone when I say that I am sick and tired of the 3D fad. Every now and again its okay. Every few years for example. However not every single movie that comes out need to be in 3D. Especially as the only thing it achieves is driving up the prices and detracting from the overall movie viewing experience. That aside.. I kind of want a Nintendo 3DS. No glasses and a brand new version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? Yes please.

Now to end it on a random note:
Companies with commercials that I have recently become overly exposed to and wish would die:
