Extending my Apple Collection

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

iPod Touch
Yesterday I extended my Apple collection by purchasing a iPod Touch (8gb).

I was planning to wait until we arrived in the US, to buy there, but Mahalia bought one yesterday. I could not stand the idea of her beating me in the tech race, so even though she beat me on purchasing, for some strange reason mine was the first to join the home network etc.

So I win!

I’m still trawling the App Store for useful applications, so if you have any recommendations I’m open.

There are so many applications I’m not sure how anybody could make a a living off developing apps. It’s all so crazy.

Also I would like to know how to set-up Mahalia’s App Store so she can install free stuff, but not buy other stuff. I.e. not have her account bound to a credit card. Any ideas?

Monopoly City Streets

Conor (condor) put me onto Monopoly City Streets, which is very cool idea, albeit the server is running slow as a wet rag.

All was going well until Conor bulldozed one of my building.

Check it out, I’m playing as the very imaginative ’simeonpilgrim’

It seems they are onto me!

Ah, the running man

I remember the running man from my youth. Great modern dance video sending up the old ways very nicely.
