Yes it is true I don’t make frequent updates to my blog. Part of this stems from my subject matter limitations. You may be asking yourself why are there limitations on the subjects you blog about? The fact is that I don’t blog anonymously and therefore have to be aware that employers, both current and potentially future, can read these posts.
With work consuming at least half of my waking day it stands to reason that much of my thoughts center around that subject. I hesitate to write anything more than a generic mention of anything related to my position and therefore make updates when there is something else that is compelling enough to mention. Perhaps someday I will feel the desire to be an evangelist of the products or services I work with, for now I will stick with the odds and ends that I feel worth mentioning.
There are two unrelated items I feel compelled to mention in this post.
First I want to say that I am a Mac fan and user. I love my Macbook and plan on replacing it with another Macbook when the need arises. Recently Mac unveiled the iPod and the web has been abuzz with everyone’s opinions. My view is not different from the many other voices out there which state that the iPod is really just an overgrown iPod touch. The pricing is too high for what you get even at the entry level model. I was surprised to hear that the iPod does not even have a camera. The concept is great and perhaps after a couple generations of the iPod have been released there will be
enough improvements that they are worth considering.
I also wanted to mention Heritage Dr Pepper which I tried this last week. Heritage Dr Pepper is a throwback product which is made with real sugar and not the usual high fructose corn syrup. To me the taste was slightly less sweet and the other flavors were more noticeable. As my sister said it brings back memories of drinking Dr Pepper with my grandfather. Like my grandfather I like to add some salted peanuts to the Heritage Dr Pepper. The product is hard to find in Northwest Washington and is said to be a limited time offering (I hope they reconsider and make this a regular offering).
Like I said two very different topics.

Not to get out my red pen or anything, but did you mean the iPad?
Thank you for catching that Julie! I rely too much on spell check, seems I had iPod in the dictionary and not iPad..oops.
