CUPERTINO, Calif., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple® today announced that its magical and revolutionary iPad will be available in the US on Saturday, April 3, for Wi-Fi models and in late April for Wi-Fi + 3G models. In addition, all models of iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK in late April.

“iPad is something completely new,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We’re excited for customers to get their hands on this magical and revolutionary product and connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.”

Starting at just $499, iPad lets users browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds-thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook-and delivers battery life of up to 10 hours.*

iPad’s revolutionary Multi-Touch™ interface makes surfing the web an entirely new experience, dramatically more interactive and intimate than on a computer.

Sheboygan Versus Vancouver – Round 1

February 26th, 2010
Grandma's Boy

Grandma's Boy

Another Sheboygan business shuttered due to restrictive Government regulations, Senator Leibham must be furious*. How are we to compete with cities like Vancouver?

Drop in by Pete and the crew at Blockbuster and rent The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. You can also stream it from the comfort of your North 13th street apartment with your Netflix account.

The marijuana Metropolis of Vancouver is rated as the best place to live in the world by nearly every group that rates places to live, and the Union “exposes” the not so secret business of Grooving in the Couv. This isn’t your Fathers complete works of Cheech and Chong, this is knowledge in film form.

If you’re stoned, just hit the play button and watch Grandma’s Boy again. The Unions a documentary and shines a light on the bazillion, gajillion dollar weed market, whereas Grandma’s Boy brings us Dante, Monkey and Lee Ho. “Lee Ho’s the real deal, he’s full-on Chinese” and Monkey, Monkey should have got an Oscar for best Monkey. I think George Clooney won for his role in Syriana.

*Joe is not an advocate of marijuana, he’s against government regulations that could potentially stifle business.

Why do you care?

This thing shoots Marcus Sheboygan Cinemas quality video. I’m saying anybody could shoot Cloverfield quality movies. With the addition of talent,  a ton of stabilizers, tripods, dollys, and lighting equipment, you can film something you won’t be emberassed to show the world. This ain’t your momma’s flip, this thing is so good that the only excuse for bad video is that you suck.

It also takes pictures, those things that intellectuals say died with the advent of video. More megapixels than I want, and the capability to shoot your baby blowing out the candles, without a flash. Those 4 little dots above the EOS Rebel T2i badge, that’s a microphone, not too shabby!

The autofocus is nowhere near that found in it’s big brother, the 7d, but at less than half the cost you have enough extra to get  Sparky’s hot dog’s for you and 400 of your closest friends.

Buy one without the lens for $100 less and I’ll sell you the lens, untouched, for $5o american, they’re starting to stack up.

Rampant Hooliganism Plagues Plymouth as “Friends of Matlock” Storm City Centre.

February 14th, 2010

Friends of Matlock

ME, or,  Matlock Empathizers openly cavort on street corners throughout Plymouth late Friday night. Trained combatants, clad in yellow paramilitary garb, spread fire throughout the city,  as a rag tag group calling themselves the “Friends of Matlock” rallied around their heros, enjoying themselves just a little to much for our liking.

Sell the children, cut the cheese, whatever, just stop scenes like this from spreading to Elkhart Lake or Kohler.

Sheboygan is already lost, but we must come together right now over ME.
