The Anderson Column

It’s official that Mrs Anderson has a new job now. She’s been working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week which has left me at home with the little guy from 7am until roughly 4-5pm every day. And it’s been great. Not to say that I haven’t been exhausted from suddenly having to give him my full attention 100% of the time, but overall it’s been fantastic.

He’s starting to bond even more with me and smiles a lot more – probably a result of getting older and more sociable. He’s also taken quite an interest in football and we’ve been watching both the senior bowl and pro bowl practices today. He liked the senior bowl more, but who can blame him. I think he favors the North team – some might call that conjecture though.

In other news, Apple presented the iPad, which I’m sure will mean more vividly colored clowns on TV. So far around 4% of my facebook contacts have come out with praises such as “amazing,” “fantastic,” “pretty” and so forth. I don’t think it’s anything special given the fact that we already knew the design of the iPod Touch, but it certainly isn’t ugly. I don’t really have an informed opinion on the device itself, but from a quick study of the specs, I’m going to go with “I have no idea what the heck I would use it for.” This might mean that I’m devoid of imagination or it might be that the device itself and the application centered future for it shows lackluster vision from the company that put this device up as revolutionary. So far it seems as revolutionary as a Che Guevara t-shirt.
