Eve of Destruction

Eve of Destruction

Here we sit on the precipice of change yet again–tomorrow’s another Big Apple Event where Steve Jobs is expected to unveil the latest iteration of the iPod lineup.

You can poke around for the rumors; everyone seems to have settled on a revamp across the line, possibly bringing in the multi-touch technology from the iPhone on a new high-end iPod with wifi capability and uberstorage in the form of up to 120 GB. (Bestill my beating heart!) Also on tap may be a new stubby Nano with video capability and the Beatles catalog in the iTunes Music Store.

Here’s what I know: I will be at my computer around 1 p.m. refreshing over and over, vainly pinning something akin to hope on a device that will do everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t. I won’t be alone.

What do you call this, exactly? I know there are Apple nerds (“Apple scruffs,” perhaps?) and gadget geeks, but what of us who just tingle at the thought of seeing anything glossy and shiny that will fit into one’s pocket and change one’s life?

I am addicted to possibility.

Right now, the Kirstie Alley Saavik is trouncing the Robin Curtis Saavik by 57% of the vote.

Please cast your preference now; otherwise, when the revolution comes, you will have had no say in which Saavik gets cast in our randy fan films.

So this is one of those articles where even the linky I offer is packed with SPOILERS, and to discuss the linky, I will require a jump, which will count as our SPOILER SPACE.

If you don’t want to risk having the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek flick potentially spoiled for you, then SCROLL ON.

If you’re up for it, let’s jump.

…’til Daddy takes the T-bird away.

Take one ocean, fill it with all sorts of organic matter and soluble minerals, add one giant storm, equals a beach covered in foam. Not a little, a lot – a wall of it, several feet high and washed up the beach to nearby buildings, just outside of Sydny, Australia.

Oh, it looks like fun, but probably smells like ass. Salty ass.

An Important Question.
