   Last week was a milestone week coupled with a headcold that my immune
   system was mostly fighting off=E2=A6but taking down a significant chunk =
of
   my energy to do so. And then I got to the weekend and collapsed. Took
   a sick day today to try and get back up to 100%. Then I get to deal
   with what will probably be the most challenging upcoming milestone of
   the project.
   And I'll probably have to do some actual coding. Bah.
   Tomorrow is the always eagerly awaited Steve Jobs keynote time. I
   don't foresee any shiny new Apple toys for me this year, but I will
   undoubtedly drool just the same. It will be interesting to see the
   further evolution of the iPod. At the moment, I don't anticipate much
   on the hardware side, and I'd be surprised to see much beyond capacity
   increases on the Nano in the next six months, but you never know. I've
   been impressed with Apple's ruthless commitment to cannibalizing their
   own products with new ones. They definitely haven't made the same
   mistake as say, Palm. It's easy to become complacent when you're a
   dominant market leader, but Apple seems focused on making sure that
   doesn't happen.
   I'm going to start reading George R.R. Martin soon. This should be
   interesting.
