Ian Sinke’s Blog hits 100 posts

I logged into my wordpress.com admin panel just now and this is what I saw:

Well, congratulations, Ian Sinke. You’ve written 100 blog posts.

I’m Back & other news

After a furlough of around two months, I’m back at blogging. I was a bit lazy about it for a while there, but now that I’ve finished school for the year, I’ll have plenty of time to write. I’ll get some Recommended Reading up as soon as possible, as well as some Recommended Listening.

In unrelated news, Steve Jobs announced the 3G (second generation, but three G’s of wireless connectivity) iPhone today at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference. The other big news item was a new service, or rather a rebranding of .Mac: Mobile Me. Before the keynote, this name was rumored and hated by all; now that it’s over, somehow it seems just great. Steve Jobs has this way of making anything seem a lot better, I guess.
