Ugh

I have no idea what to write. Literally no idea. Nothing really happening on the U2 front. They did announce that there will be no more dates added to the 2010 European leg of the 360 tour this fall. But I found it odd that there has been no such announcement concerning the 2010 North American leg this summer. There are only 15 dates announced compared to the 20 dates during the 2009 North American leg and the 22 shows announced for the previously mentioned European leg. Maybe U2 comes back to Gillette Stadium near Boston where I saw them for the first time last September. Maybe Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit, San Diego, St. Louis, Cleveland, Boston? There are plenty of other places to play a concert in, and hopefully more chances for me to see them in concert

The Offseason

Well my life kinda sucks right now, nothing personal but everything seems to be in an offseason. My Yankees and Patriots arent playing, even NASCAR doesnt start for a few weeks. Even my teams that are playing right now, they might as well be in an offseason. St Johns basketball and the Uconn mens team suck, good thing I still have the Lady Huskies!! Even U2 is in an "offseason" No new album coming out, no new singles, the tour doesnt start until June. All I have right now is the song or two for Haiti and some bad Big East mens hoops

MCC Homework

The first of three articles I chose was from Iwantmedia.com titled “Just as important as what iPad can do: What it can't” and obviously it concerns the abilities, or lack thereof, of the iPad. Apple’s new product does not have a flash player, which means that internet videos will not be able to play. One also can’t listen to music while sending an e-mail as well, another main short coming of the iPad. Also, for one to get the 3G network, they would have to buy a new plan even if they have a plan for their iPhone already. These plans start at $15 per month as well, which only adds insult to injury, as the iPad will run someone $400 at the cheapest and over $800 at its most expensive. So even though the iPad is considered by some to be state of the art, it does have its shortcomings.
The second of three articles I chose was from gizmodo.com titled “Logitech Touch Mouse App Turns iPhones Into a Trackpad and Keyboard, for Free”. It describes an app which uses Wi-Fi to turn the iPhone into a wireless trackpad and keyboard for your PC or Mac. It supports two finger scrolling, landscape/portrait virtual trackpads and keyboards and the choice of either two or three mouse buttons. Even though it’s not revolutionary, it is fairly simple to use and it is free.
The third article is one that intrigues me more than any other article I’ve seen, and its not solely because of the technology. Coming also from gizmodo.com, it is titled “Stephen Colbert Delivers Grammy for Song of the Year From His New Apple iPad”. The article is self explanatory, comedian Steven Colbert pulled out his iPad to announce the Song of the Year winner instead of using that special envelope. As a huge Steven Colbert fan, I simply had to include this article.
