Boo Apple

If you haven't yet heard...Apple held a press conference today and announced the iPad. There's been quite a bit of hype about the "new Apple tablet" and to be quite honest I'm disappointed. It's a big iPod Touch. That's it. It's an expensive toy.

I never expected to say this but... Booo Apple. iPad shmiPad.

I want an Apple tablet that could replace my laptop (or at the very least compete with the netbooks out there). I want it to run OSX. Is multitasking really too much to ask for? It's great that they've upped the memory to 64GB, but no USB port? No Flash support?

Seriously Apple.

Weak.

Shiver

Just in case you haven't heard, the South (and most of the rest of the country) has been experiencing record cold temperatures. Have no fear though, I've not become a complete cold weather sissy. We're still talking about daily highs of 35 degrees. I'm just saying that this is abnormally cold for North Carolina... and that I've been eating a lot of comfort food:



Grilled cheese and tomato soup!


Not just any grilled cheese and tomato soup, however, Grilled Havarti and Apple Smoked Garlic Cheddar on Asiago Peppercorn Sourdough. And Roasted Red Pepper Tomato soup. Mmmmmmm.

As you can see in the picture, grilled cheese and tomato soup is never complete without pickles and chocolate milk. Don't laugh until you've tried it. You've probably been missing out on a good thing.
