Elections in Spain, Juno, iPhone and Blackberry, lunch

Today is Election Day in Spain, let's see who will win. PP and PSOE and the 2 main parties, similar republicans and democrats in the US. Results should be known in a few hours. The have been alternating for past several years. It was PSOE, then PP, now PSOE again.

Watched Juno with Nicole yesterday, very cute, liked it.

Saw that Apple release the iPhone SDK this week, about time. That will be neat, I am sure cool applications will come out of it which will boost the phone's usability, nice move. Apple is also equipping the phone to go head to head against the Blackberries in the business world. We'll see, the iPhone main challenge is its keyboard, it can never be as fast as the Blackberry real keyboard. But I can see the Exchange features making a difference, that may be enough to get some people to convert over.

Also saw that Microsoft is talking to Sony about a Blu-ray unit for the X-box. That would be good. A little surprising because it would shave some of the PS3's competitive edge, but at the same time it would become another source of income for Sony.

Talked to my parents a few moments ago, everything OK. Lunch at The Smith today, have to head out shortly. I think it's cold out. At least it's not raining.

Been listening to music this morning. Here is a fun upbeat version of Queen's Living on my own with Freddy Mercury's vocals:

cabs and cc

Used my credit card to pay for a cab ride for the first time yesterday. All cabs have been equipped with these credit card systems for a while now, I just hadn't tested it. The cab driver seemed a bit hesitant at first, but it went fine. Very quick and easy.

Also, forgot to mention that I have started recording Lost again. I must have missed the first couple episodes, I'll see if I can catch up. I haven't watched the one from this week yet.

Relaxing at home this afteroon. It's been raining almost non stop since yesterday morning. It was really windy and cold yesterday too, it's a bit milder today, but the wind and rain make for quite an inconvenient scenario. We had dinner last night at Blue Hill by Washington Square. Amazingly good food. Hans had nanny issues and missed it. It was Brad, from work, with his fiancee Alex, then Janet and Nicole. We couldn't get a cab on the way back. It's already hard by default on a Friday night, much more so rainy and cold.

Doing a few things around the apartment today. Just caught up with American Idol, the selected the top 12. It's fine I suppose, but I wanted Danny to make it, he added a lot of color.

Thu

Almost the weekend, great. Just got home, was at work until fairly late. Had quick dinner with Hans when I came out, at Playwright. A bit of pain because they had karaoke and plenty of bad loud singers . Got a vmail from Jeff, I guess he and this new girl, Lynn, might be visiting in the Spring, we'll see. Dinner tomorrow at Blue Hill, should be good. Missed Nate's call yesterday, tried calling him today but we did not connect. I wonder whether he is going to move to NYC or not, hope he does.

Got chilly and cold all of a sudden yesterday, sucks. Hope it goes away and we get nice weather like earlier this week.

OK, nothing else new or exciting for now.
