Batman ... in the Beginning...

After being in a foul mood today, I decided that I needed to do something for me to lighten my spirits. I came straight home from work and took a lengthy nap so I could make the late night showing of Batman Begins.


Batman Begins

Overall, I was very impressed with the movie. It was full of action from start to finish and I think Christian Bale did a great job in the title role. I had my doubts when I heard he'd been cast. Katie Holmes was okay, but I loved seeing Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman in the film, and Gary Oldman looks just what a young Commissioner Gordon would look like, down to the big glasses. Even the audience was relatively quiet, so I could concentrate on enjoying the movie without interruptions I've come to almost expect.

It's now after 1 AM... I'm going to pay dearly for this tomorrow morning...

Hi I'm Mark and I'm a Mac Whore

I'm typing this from the couch, in my living room, on my new G4 iBook. And I am loving it.

After work today, I headed over to the Apple Store in Kenwood Centre to see what the shop had available. I started messing with the 12-inch iBook and fell in love with it. A young lady answered every question I had. Knowing that I bought this for it's ease of use, transport, and wireless capability, I thought about buying the Airport Express for travel purposes and since I can use it at home, even better. I even bought a new padded backpack to store the iBook in on the next trip. The grand total wasn't cheap, but I figure I'll get a lot of use out of everything, especially overseas.

After setting up the Express at home, I walked around the house with the laptop, like an idiot, just seeing how well it would work. Big thanks to everyone who responded to my entry about purchasing the iBook. All comments were very helpful.

LOL.. now... I'm going to surf the net a while.. on my couch... downstairs from the computer desk... still loving it.
