Failing Mac Pro HDD
Seems like my primary hard drive on my Mac Pro is about to fail. Better go buy a replacement one tomorrow, it is much easier to replace a hard drive BEFORE it fails even though I have a time machine backup. This is why I believe it is failing...

And...
Cold
Taken two years ago, in March 2009 in Winnipeg, Manitoba just before we relocated to Surrey, British Columbia. I think this epitomises the word "Extreme Cold".
iPad 2 Cameras
Wow. Did not know this... The front facing camera is 640 x 480. The rear facing camera is 960 x 720. Eish... Both are less than 1MP. In fact, they represent 0.3MP and 0.675MP, respectively. In other words, they suck.
iPad 2 performance
Just a quick note on performance, it seems the iPad 2 takes 2114ms versus the iPad 1's 3323ms to complete the SunSpider Benchmark. This translates to much improved JavaScript performance whilst browsing web sites.
Guess what I picked up today?
Have only installed and configured it, but did not yet have time to play with it. Some additional photos:
