Apple WWDC App Table

I was lucky enough to be able to attend Apple’s World-Wide Developer’s Conference in San Francisco this year. This is a short video of a multi-iPad setup they had prominently displayed. Pretty cool.

I think they breed.

We did a massive reorganization of our “office” this weekend. This meant throwing out and recycling many bags of junk, moving around everything in the rather large room including some huge bookcases full of comics, and buying and assembling two huge shelving units from Costco. But the biggest job for me was completely unplugging every piece of electronic equipment, moving all of it, and plugging it back in. This was a mighty effort, as can be gleaned from this picture. That pile of cables is what I ended up not reusing after reassembly.

Ah, the good ol’ days…

I cleaned out a lot of old files today and came across these two gems.

First up we have a 1997 receipt for a 15MB CompactFlash card for $260. Note that it’s megabytes, not gigabytes.

Second is a 1998 receipt for 2 32MB memory sticks for $138. Note that again it’s megabytes, not gigabytes.

I’m looking forward to what we can buy for $100 to $200 15 years from now.
