It’s that time of year again when apple releases it’s new products. It looks like they are combining the new ipad2 and MacBook pro refresh announcements.

My predictions for the new iPad won’t surprise anyone, a smaller svelt case, same battery life, maybe a little lighter. Added camera (just one I think, not the predicted 2), I very much doubt any new connecters will make an appearance. Any one who is expecting an SD card slot will be disappointed.

The new MacBook pros will only be a small update, a push to i5 for the 13″ version. Not so sure about thunderbolt / light peak.

We’ll see how close I am next week, invitations have been given out for the March 2nd “show”.

I just knocked up a website for my wifes fused glass business she’s starting. http://catalystglass.co.uk it’s a fairly simple site but i’m diving into the wonders of search engine optimisation. I’ve always known that this existed, but in the past outsourced this type of thing. I’m learning though that the complexities of how pagerank works is actual quite ingenious! No wonder search is such big business…

No it’s my mid 30′s…. Happy Birthday to me…

I never understood birthday celebrations. Yes in bygone days it was something to celebrate the fact that you hadn’t died that winter, but in these modern times your good health is all but guaranteed. Do we really need a constant reminder by well meaning friends and family that the clock is ticking and your death is inevitable and getting closer?

It sounds morbid but I’m of an opinion that these facts should be accepted and you should come to terms with your own mortality. Although that being said I’m a big believer in nanotechnology and I keep hearing that the singularity is just around the corner so maybe I don’t have to accept my mortality… I give myself a 25% chance of living forever (or at least until I get bored). I give my offspring a 50% chance of living forever. I give my grandkids a 99.9% chance of living forever but by then it will be 2110 and we’ll be living on the moon!

All that being said I can’t complain about jelly and ice cream… always welcome!
