2% MacBook Pro battery life
2% Current Battery Capacity?
When I checked two days ago with Coconut battery to see if there was something wrong with my battery, it showed it was at 10% capacity.
Right now, it’s 2%.
I guess I’d better get to bed.
I wanted to work on my photos and other work.
I hope I get a new battery later this morning at the Apple Store.
Stay tuned.

Barenaked Ladies | WWDC Beer Bash
On my lunch break, just looking over my flickr account and wandered over to my favorites.
I quickly flipped through photos posted by Graham Ballantyne of the WWDC Beer Bash (Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco June 12 2008) with the Barenaked Ladies.
What can I say?
Je suis tres jaloux.

Curious to see if anyone had cellphone videos of the event, I checked YouTube.
This is a hilarious story involving Ed of BNL and one of the winners of The Apprentice awhile back.
Moral: Be sure to check your preferences of your programs on your computer…. especially sharing in iTunes… 
Helvetica the Film on iTunes
Helvetica may seem just “plain” to the regular eye.
But this typeface is applied in many different situations and places.
Celebrated its 50th anniversary, “Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.”
If you missed the documentary screenings in Vancouver back in August last year (they were quickly sold out), now you have a chance to have it on your iPod and your iTunes library.
helvetica on iTunes screencapture
Well… unfortunately just for US iTunes users as noted on the graphic link on their site.
Sigh, wasn’t Helvetica screened internationally?
Will they make the digital download available in iTunes in all countries?
Just like the iPhone, looks like us Canadians have to wait.
Haaa haaaa Vista!
Last night I was digressed a little bit away from my Apple-Blu-Ray problem research as I wandered over to the recent ads on Apple’s site.
Aw, poor Vista.
Even funnier news-
“Intel, the giant chip maker and longtime partner of Microsoft, has decided against upgrading the computers of its own 80,000 employees to Microsoft’s Vista operating system, a person with direct knowledge of the company’s plans said.”

Day 5 & 6 NYC
Monday-January 21
Forgetting that it was a holiday Monday for Americans (Martin Luther King day), I thought that most places would be closed.
Donairs are not recommended to be brought into a visit to the top of the Rock.
We thought that we, well I was in a big rush to get to the top before the sun would set, would be able to eat on the top. I originally thought there was a cafe up on the top.
As quick as we could, we chomped down our donairs in the exhibit room that leads to the main elevators.
The sun was just a few minutes from completely disappearing from the horizon, and I was snapping as many pictures from all around the top of the Rock. Without a tripod, I had a few that turned out pretty nice. Our faces freezing, we ducked into a Target-sponsored interactive exhibit, which also doubled as a warming up station. We snapped a few shots, and it took me a while to finally figure that people had to wave to make the lights glow…. ohhh…
Fifth Avenue is full of fashionable stores, but I was aiming to visit the Apple Store.
The Cube is gorgeous, and holy moly was it packed downstairs. I wanted to preview the new Macbook Air at that time, but of course its official release date was to be later in February.
Tuesday-January 22
Waking up late in the afternoon, we gave up on the idea of heading down to the Financial district. I was really keen on taking pictures of the architecture there, but I just got so caught up in B&H Photo. OMG OMG OMG- it’s a candy store for creative techies. Photo equipment, accessories, computers, lighting gear, telescopes?! Anything electronic related, B&H definitely got it. I did not want to leave… lucky I didn’t take a look at their catalogue until after I came back to Vancouver. I don’t know how would I have lugged all the special sale items from B&H over the border.
Avenue Q was hilarious. We were so close to the stage, practically front row center!!!
I wonder if the cast saw me singin’ along much?
