One of the first things that comes to mind today were the reports of President Barak Obama meeting with the Catholic Pope. I overheard on the radio that such encounters are usually politically motivated, which is interesting. Shouldn't the most powerful man of the free world want to meet with one of the most charitable, influential and examplared spiritual leaders for reasons other than politics? How about some spiritual guidance? Even just shooting the breeze with the Pope sounds like an awesome opportunity.
Big news in the tech world as Microsoft's newest CEO [insert his somewhat hard to remember name here] announces some changes and developments for the company. The big announcement was that office products (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) are now available as apps for the iPad. Hurrah! I don't own an iPad so it doesn't directly effect me but from the screenshots I've seen all the apps look and function wonderfully. This also signifies a different direction for Microsoft by focusing on providing software products regardless of whether you use a Microsoft platform or piece of hardware.
An interesting article from Business Insider discussed why consumers aren't ready for wearable tech. Without going into too much detail it essentially boils down to a few points. Too expensive, not trendy/fashionable, socially odd, and wearing something on your body is much more "intimate" and committed than carrying a phone on your pocket. It's going to take some getting used to.
That's it for today, I tried wracking my brain for more but alas, the internet robs my memory of the precious moments I shared with it today. Until tomorrow evening.
