My intentions for this blog have changed significantly since its conception in August 2007. The lack of posts is not due to a lack of things to write about; in fact those have been plentiful after some of my recent purchases: iPhone 4, Nikon D7000, Nikor 18-200mm Lens and many others. I simply no longer have the time or the drive to write in depth posts. So I am planning a redesign, where the content will be more concise. The site should become less of a blog and more of a home for all my content.

The idea is to make the current theme available to download as well as creating a new one, clear out some of the older content and shift the focus more towards photography. However this is not likely to happen until I have finished my A-levels and am on my gap year in June, but even then It may be some time before anything happens as I am away travelling for nearly 7 weeks.

Thanks Rupert

Fist things first, I am most defiantly getting one. I think Apple have done an amazing job with this upgrade, adding some great new features. The retina display may seem insignificant, but there is nothing worse than looking at a rubbish display when trying to watch a movie or play doodle jump!

The camera, I have always seen phone camera’s as a less of a camera more of a connivence; however if the images Apple showed are what can really be achieved with the new camera I can see this as a permeant point and shoot replacement, Glenn Wolsey wrote an article on this. Along with the greatly improved camera the video quality has gone HD. When ever you want to record a funny video you tend to do it on your phone, it looks crappy to be kind. That is why you buy a Flip, but not more if you can shoot HD from your phone and edit it in iMovie video blogging will have a whole new dimension.

As much as Apple are excited about FaceTime, I really can’t see people full using it for another 3 or so years. The limitation of having to be on WiFi is just to great even tho when at home most people will be.

My problem is my contract expires in February and last time I checked Vodafone would upgrade me to anything but an iPhone, which is not what I wanted to hear.

I have never understood peoples fascination with lost. It seems to me like it could be a great program and would be amazing to watch, but I feel thew story went on far to long and I never felt the initial pull to watch it. I think it is also one of those programs if you miss an episode then you are screwed a bit like Flashforward.

I also get this feeling with 24, they just want to continue the success and so have dragged out the story line just a bit too long. One thing I do admire from these US dramas is the quality, I think they have really raised the bar on production quality for TV. Shows like Lost, 24, Heroes, Fringe and Flashforward all have a really high standard of production. This really makes the stories so much more believable and immersive. In the UK the best channel for Drama’s like these has to be Sky1 and they show most of the good US dramas like Lost, 24, Bones, Fringe and Lie to Me.
