I’ve been awake since about 5 am. I wish I was still fast asleep but our golden retriever, Champ, had an upset stomach and desperately needed to go out. I am enjoying the solitude though but hope eventually I can get some more sleep.
As is the case almost every Saturday the question is, what will we do today? Something fun or something necessary like cleaning or doing laundry or getting groceries? We’ll see.

Have I mentioned that I recently got a refurbished iPod touch? And have I stated how much I love this little computer? Because that is really what it is. It is aptly named because that is what it’s all about: touch. Amazing.

And the possibilities for using it just keep expanding. I was quite impressed — unexpectedly — by Apple’s presentation earlier this week of their work on the iPhone and iPod Touch SDK as well as enterprise features. Some of the apps that people came up with in just two week’s time blew me away. I am a Blackberry fan and owner and I know there are a lot of people who scoff at Apple’s work to compete with RIM. Let me just state that if RIM isn’t worried about this new competition then they are fools. I don’t care how many corporate CIOs are quoted making snarky comments about how Apple isn’t serious about the enterprise. What that simply translates into for me is that such people are just miffed that Apple isn’t kowtowing to them. I have little respect for corporate IT organizations.
