Finally Home
ob81.com has been a little inactive for the past week or so. For the few that may not have known, I recently returned home from a 7-month deployment in Doha, Qatar. Seemed like forever while I was there, and feels like it was nothing now that I am back.
Feels great to be reunited with my family, and it is odd hearing my son, who was 2y 5m when I left, say full statements now, and run around jumping without falling. My dog Chuck does not listen to me anymore though 
Hopefully a few more snacks will fix that.
I have been mainly trying to catch up on everything that I have been missing in the tech world and in the theaters. I still haven’t seen Spider-Man 3 yet! I finally got a chance to check out the iTouch also. Wasn’t impressed to say the least, but that is a whole subject on it’s own. I dived in and purchased an iTV for my bedroom and fell in love with the youtube feature. Can’t wait to see what else they throw on this thing! If you don’t have one, check it out.
From a blogging standpoint, now I can get in some first looks at new Apple gear and news due to being back home. I was seriously running dry out there in the desert where they were still selling the original Nano.
I am in the process of revamping my computer setup, as writing on this 13″ Macbook seems very uncomfortable at the moment. The 24″ iMac was looking nice, though I have been debating with being a cheapo and just grabbing an external monitor. We will see how things shape up.
If you have missed me on pownce the last few days, my inet connection chose to act up as soon as I returned home, and for the first time ever, I was too lazy to fix it until this morning.
Well, I will be on pownce and twitter as well as h_oberry@yahoo, or ob81@mac.com for my iChat users if you want to chat.
I finally feel connected to the world again!
