Well, here I am again. I may use this as a little historical archive of things going on currently in the year 2008 from my perspective. This is the year of the big election where the hope is that we can begin to head in another direction where we can start looking after those with little in the world. I feel that we are either going to have a woman President or a African-American President. I think this will be good. Time will tell. Not going to get into politics right now because it is such a violent topic. Also would like to discuss religion, but that too is another topic for another time. Maybe I will begin to sprinkle them in here and there as time goes on. (I told you this would be random stuff.)
Next topic: Cars
Hoping to see if Jeep will produce the Wrangler truck that I have seen in some of the car shows of late. Looks pretty cool. There are many changes in the car industry. They really need to get their acts together. Looking forward to the Chevy Camaro and the new Dodge Challenger hopefully in 2009 or so.
Next topic: Computers
I’m using Vista which is working fine right now. There has been much talk of how Vista sucks, but I think it’s fine. For the average person it should be okay. I’m kind of a PC guy due to working in corporate America. However, Apple does produce cool stuff. I’m waiting for a smaller form-factor universal device. Bigger than the iPhone, so you can really type on it, but smaller than the new MacBook Air. About the size of a Day Runner. You know those old daily type planners. Anyway, I think that would really take off. Something that you could tote around, but act as a PC, phone, and music player. I know, there are Ultra-mobile PCs, but I think the design needs to be really good, the way Apple does stuff.
Enough for now. I need to eat lunch. Next time maybe I will begin talking about my introduction to the design world and how it’s beginning to play a part in many areas of my work and life.
