In the early morning hours before...

Well it's been almost a week since my birthday. Last year I was upset that my wife waited until the last minute and then went to the grocery store and got me some chocolate bars and a can of cashews. This year I wish I had gotten that much. One of the things that saved the day last year was Steve's keynote address announcing the iPhone and giving more information about the AppleTV. Nothing like a good old fashioned reality distortion field to cure what ails you!

This year I got nothing at all from her and have had to wait a freaking week for the SteveNote!

It's 3 hours before the show starts and on one hand I'm excited about it. From an overall point of view it's always nice to see really great tech from the company you love, but... I dunno... maybe the events of the last couple weeks in my own life have got me too depressed to be too excited about anything at all. Pre-excited anyways. If true, video rentals through iTunes or AppleTV would be really really nice. Especially if they're HD. I dunno though. The rumors about an ultra thin MacBook don't get me too terribly excited, at least not without the help of Steve and his distortion field. I mean... I dunno. I think a larger tablet-ish ipod touch type of internet device... That could be cool... Okay, make a 7 to 10 inch iPod touch that can connect to a 3G speed service from a cell phone company that only charges $20 for unlimited service (basically what iPhone service costs, minus voice), and THEN I would get pretty excited. Unless of course it cost way too much. Otherwise, I suppose an affordable ultra portable MacBook that I could use a phone (like a blackberry) as a bluetooth modem, then THAT would be okay too... I dunno though... You never know what the keynote will give. If it gives me nothing... I suppose that's okay, because even though I'm putting my trust in it to pull me out of this gloominess, I do have a Plan B....

I've had an eye on this for a little while now...
