I watched the unveiling of the new Apple product, the iPad, and am super disappointed with it.

I seriously don’t get how they dropped the ball on this. It could of been something awesome and perhaps useful, but it is not.

No Flash, no multitasking, no reason to buy it. I mean really, no Flash? That is really sad for a middle device. The iBooks thing is already in existence for the iPhone, so a bigger screen is good I guess. iWork stuff, blah. Gaming might be more fun on it, but it is not worth paying for. I think my iPhone will continue to get the job done for me.

I am trying to think of what I like about it and I find that a little hard. I do like that I have a bigger screen to look at my photos from a trip but my laptop gets the job done fine.

Magical? No. Revolutionary? No. Unbelievable price? Yep, it cost too much.

Sorry Apple, but this is a lame product.

I finally got a pure awesome laptop. It excites me to no end, yeah I sold out and didn’t get a cheap PC laptop but oh well. C’iest la vie!

On to the unboxing!

WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!!!!

My first impressions on….

The Keys
They aren’t as bad as I expected. It still is taking some getting used to, mainly since I am moving from the old scissor keys to the pretty lame chiclets. I really have no severe issue with them other than the spacing in between them is mighty odd.

The Trackpad
It’s awesome! Really, I like all the space I have now, feels more open. The click is a bit loud for my taste, sounds a bit intense. Not bad though.

The Screen
Glossy was something I really didn’t want at all. The viewing angle is pretty good, as for glaring there is some minimal glare but it hasn’t bothered me all that much. It looks pretty damn rich though and that is pretty good if you ask me. The black trim creates a nice contrast for the screen. 

The Casing
I must say, it feels really solid. The new magnetic locking is beautiful, no more lopsided top shell. The case looks slim and solid. I really like the design.

I really can’t think of much else to say other than I realized I have some greasy fingers. :/ That might be a bad thing for black keys if you ask me.

Today has been glorious! I had breakfast with my lady and we then we took a nap. Then afterwards her and I went to Arizona Art Supply (an amazing art shop here) and I bought some Prismacolor colored pencils!

I have been wanting these for a while just cause I think color can add a lot to my drawings, so I am excited to present my first few colorings I have done.

First, here are some old drawings that I decided to color just to try out the pencils to see how they work out.

I don’t know why the banana is all blurry…scanners these days!
