I’m not a big fan of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. I tried watching a few episodes when it debuted earlier this year, but I just couldn’t get into it.
But I can get into this advertising campaign. I heard about it a few days ago, and now Laughing Squid has a few photos. I’d love to see this in person. Too bad it won’t be around for long. But if you are in NYC, you should stop by and see — but only on the weekends.

More photos can be found on Laughing Squid’s blog post.

I really need to update my iPhone. It’s on its last legs. The volume button is broken off. The power button doesn’t work. And it started to split in two at the seams! Hopefully, there will be a new iPhone soon.

I’ve been scouting for iPhone cases and came across this. It would be interesting to carry around, wouldn’t it?

This is a photo of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Mid-day. Nearly empty. It’s one of those photos you wish you could capture yourself, but probably won’t ever be able to do so. It was taken by the MTA and posted on Flickr. The reason why it’s nearly empty is due to Hurricane Irene.

Grand Central Terminal is a sight I’d like to revisit again. The place is huge. And when it’s filled with people it feels amazing.
Oh, and they’re going to have an Apple Store there someday soon.

Thinking of getting an iPad 2? You should read Marco Arment’s write-up on which version you should consider. If I were to do it all over again, I’d probably get a 3G version. But then again, you now know I’m not considering an iPad 2.

I have a ton of photos that want to get out of Aperture and published on the site. Unfortunately, my time is not cooperating. I posted a few photos from “An Afternoon with Family”. Hopefully, this will start a flood of new photos posted to the site. I’m optimistic that it will.

Two videos of the kids playing together, and later hugging. Awwww!

These videos were taken on February 19, 2011.

Currently, my favorite commercial, even though I’ve yet to see it on television. I just love the kid’s reaction in the end. I can imagine Mia having a similar reaction.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean. Is Darth Vader everywhere?

I always smile at these iPhone / iPad killers. I wish they’d come out first before people (e.g. people in blog comments) declare victory over the iPhone/iPad. What we don’t know are important things like price, battery life, how it actually looks and feels, etc. I’m guessing by the time the Samsung Galaxy Tab is released, the new iPad will be out. More (or less) info is available at Engadget.

Interesting idea. I’ve actually watched a whole movie and a few tv shows on the iPad. To me, it was just a step up from watching on a laptop.
