Live Delayed Blogging From My Desk



 Apple Announcement

9:15 a.m. Searched inbox for my official Apple evite. Couldn’t find it…but did come across some old paperless bills I forgot to pay automatically.

9:30 a.m. Gathered all my Apple devices including iPhones, iPods, iPads and laptops to prepare them for the arrival of their newest siblings.

9:45 a.m.  Did a quick calculation on Gazelle and realized that I could sell them all and buy a new Kindle Fire.

9:58 a.m.  Helped celebrate the anniversary of  Lehman Brother's bankruptcy  by searching eBay for any left over toxic assets.

10:00 a.m. Almost passed out due to pre iPhone announcement jitters.

10:03 a.m. Calmed myself by checking to see when my pebbl watch will be available.

10:04 a.m. Tim Cook appears on stage…and begins talking.

10:06-10:30 The iPhone 5 is announced. It’s taller, thinner and lighter,  (all things I wish I was) and as the name so eloquently suggests it is 1 more than 4. (now, that’s innovation)

10:41a.m. Realize that the iPhone 5 looks very much like all the leaked images I have been seeing for the last few months.

10:42 a.m. Check Apple’s job postings to see if they are looking for a new Chief of Security.

11:05 a.m. Struggled to keep up with the now over saturated tweetwaves filled with uncurated, unedited thoughts.

11:06 a.m. Amazed at how many conversations happen in under 140 characters.

11:00 a.m. Dozed off and dreamed that Apple’s big announcement was that Siri will be running for President.

11:04 a.m. Woke up with a headache. 

11:06 a.m. Grabbed my political ice pack for immediate relief.

11:07 a.m. Went back to slogging blogging from my desk.
