Geek Wed^H^H^HTuesday
I used to think of Wednesday as my geek day. Going to the comic book store is a pretty geeky (and fun) experience. Today trumped that in a major, major way.
Macworld San Francisco is going on this week and today was the primary keynote address by Steve Jobs. There has been a load of rumor and speculation about what would be announced.

The bad thing is it will be a while before the Apple site gets my credit card info. They are all more money than I can spend right now. It is good to dream.
