I was noticing today how full the woods are around here. The trees have really filled out, and the ground is covered with vegetation. It makes me want to go paintballing.

MacBook Air + Parody Ad

So I just watched the MacBook Air introduction by Steve Jobs at MacWorld’08, and was pretty impressed. I read an article about the machine so wasn’t surprised when I seen it, but there was some stuff I didn’t know about.

It seemed a let down that there was no CD/DVD drive, but I realized that I barely use the DVD drive in my laptop. Also, the fact that it can wirelessly “borrow” the hard drive of a nearby PC or Mac is pretty awesome, and makes not having that drive more than tolerable. 5 hour battery life, and a full-size, back lit keyboard are certainly a plus.

I think I was even more surprised when I seen that they start at $1800. I certainly couldn’t justify spending that much as a student, but I think it’s a reasonable price.

I couldn’t help but watch a few parody ads while I was at it. This one was particularly good. I think the BSoD did it for me.
