The Macberry

June9

Okay… It’s true.

I am in possession of a “Macberry”.

Nicholas Johnson, under my instructions, hacked a seventeen inch (17″) Dell, and loaded the latest Mac OS X on it. Buy all accounts, it boots up natively (none of the parallels or virtual machine nonsense) on command and works brilliantly.

That was only a small conquest in terms of our (the “Society”) careful plans to unhinge a windows-oriented world.

Forging ahead, and as my readers know, I was getting poor reception in my Alpharetta offices with an iPhone so I hot-swapped to a Blackberry 8900. The reception is great with the best commercial radio available.

But, we made some adjustments.

Pictures to follow.

The technology community is going to it’s collective knees. Research in Motion (RIM) leadership, and every otherwise smug analyst, is weeping bitterly into their hot cereal.

This news clearly trumps both the Palm Pre and the ninety nine dollar ($99) iPhone (that news off the presses in about an hour).

Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
