Got to go to the Apple Store on North Michigan Ave today for a work related Genius Bar visit (got a HD replaced). Super easy, and waited while it got done. Which meant I got to play with the new iPad 2. And it's pretty sweet. Just on look and feel, it's way better than my iPad that I was using about a minute beforehand. Makes me think of the Kindle 3 when I see it. In a good way, like it's softer, more inviting to hold, more comfortable. But it was one of those Monday's at work, where all sorts of stuff happens. Kind of crazy. Nature of the business I guess. So busy I managed to skip lunch. I did randomly bump into Carlo, in town for a possible contract job. That was random. Good to see him, though. Hard to remember the last time I actually saw him. Also managed to walk out of the Apple Store without buying anything. Apple TV looked nice, the twelvesouth BookArc for Air look like a splurge, maybe a clip on Speck case. But nada.
