Day 63: Complacency
A day after 4/20 (I don’t smoke), I felt a strong fog coming in. A San Francisco powered fog (yeah, hardcore!). This morning was filled with the most mundane tasks possible. Afterwards, I left for college. Once I was at the parking lot, I realized I didn’t remember how I got there. It was all a giant blur. Now thats a cool feeling. I hear many people talk about how it happens to them all the time, but I love driving. Its the one time of the day where I’m in control, get to feel risk (from cops), and listen to music. I love music. During class, my fog continued. Constant zoning in and out of consciousness. Hopefully It’s a one day deal.
In tech news, SP3 for Windows XP is coming out on the 29th of April. All you XPers lover and Vista loathers unite for this is good news. As for me, I’ll be busy typing along on my Mac. [info from ZDNet]
Also, Apple is looking at some online store improvements by building a virtual store. Now this isn’t a stereotypical online store, but a place where people virtually shop just like in the store. You get to browse the virtual aisles, see other customers (avatar-ish), and go to the virtual cash register for checkout. Places like Second Life have this already, but its still an interesting concept. Have we become that dependent on machines that all personal contact must go through them as well? Does chatting with “cute” customers become easier online? You don’t fear public rejection because you’re just online? I’m seriously curious about this phenomina. This isn’t popular because its easier either. Regular online stores are much easier and quicker. Am I too extroverted to see the appeal? Not homebody enough? I just don’t get it. Someone shed some light. [based on TUAW]
