First, the budget part: Here. Obama is getting a bad rap for shit he just plain didn’t do. That’s right. Fuck you Republicans who want to misdirect blame because of the public’s poor perception of how an economy works.
Now. My Fitness Coach 1 vs. 2:
The first one was good. Unfortunately, there is no way to turn down the music so I can listen to my own music. That is, if I turn down the music, it turns down the instructions as well, which is a bit annoying. On My Fitness Coach 2, you can turn down the music all the way. Unfortunately, it still provides you with a beat on how stuff must be done, and it not only does this, it makes you use the Wiimote in order to judge that you are in fact doing this on time. Why the fuck would you take away music but still keep you on the beat? The whole idea is to let you listen to your own workout music. Good workout music is the thing that has helped me most in motivating myself to exercise, personally.
In conclusion, fuck My Fitness Coach 2 and Republicans.

I’m rather disappointed with the iPad for a number of reasons, most of which are highlighted in these two links.
More than anything, I find myself asking the question “Who is the appealing to?” You can’t multi-task, so, it’s somewhat good for a student. I guess. But you can’t have a word program open as well as the internet.
That said, it has all the capabilities of being a decent mini-laptop. It’s got a sweet touchscreen and some good hardware. Unfortunately, it has no USB ports, making file management between computers a bit difficult. In order to really get good use out of this, I really feel like hacking it and jailbreaking it would be best. Hopefully some nice young hacker will crank out a version of Mac OS X for anyone wanting to use this. Because of this, I still really want one. I have faith in the hacking community that, if they can do this kind of stuff for the iPhone or for my Wii, I’m sure I’ll be able to do it just fine for my future iPad.
But I really don’t think they’ll last long. I don’t know a whole lot of people who really could find this useful. I love me some Apple, but they’re going in a really disappointing, frustrating direction. Fortunately, I think that when these don’t sell, it might kick them in the ass enough to go “Well. Fine. Have some Mac OS X”. But only time will tell. They’ve made some terrible decisions in the past, leaving them much more unpopular than the PC world, but let’s hope they decide to get their shit together again.
