I don’t really know much about the Microsoft Surface. Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention but now I’m anxious to see it in action. What is Surface? This is taken from the MS site:
“Microsoft Surface is a revolutionary multi-touch computer that responds to natural hand gestures and real-world objects, helping people interact with digital content in a simple and intuitive way. With a large, horizontal user interface, Surface offers a unique gathering place where multiple users can collaboratively and simultaneously interact with data and each other.”
Here’s what it could be used for:
“For Users: Microsoft Surface represents a fundamental change in the way we interact with digital content. Leave the mouse and keyboard behind. Surface lets you grab digital content with your hands and move information with simple gestures and touches. Surface also sees and interacts with objects placed on the screen, allowing you to move information between devices like mobile phones or cameras. The result is a fun, social and exciting computing experience like you’ve never had before.
For Businesses: Microsoft Surface provides tremendous potential for businesses to improve communication, and be more efficient in how they deliver information and services to their customers. The intuitive and approachable interface is easy to learn and the familiar software platform makes it easy to manage, too. The multi-touch and multi-user capabilities create an incredibly collaborative experience, where sharing and exploring information is easier than ever.”
I wonder how long it’ll take before I see one of these.

Now I know what will probably replace my Palm Pre. The poor thing was recently dropped twice in one day. Now I don’t even want to look at it. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this news since I got my Zune HD. I originally got my 30GB for free. I probably wouldn’t have initially bought it but after using it, I found that I liked everything about the Zune except it’s form factor. It is quite the brick. Thanks to Bing Cashback, I upgraded to a 32GB Zune HD at the end of last year. It is way smaller and much more attractive. When people see it, they look quite confused since it doesn’t have a big white circle pad in the middle or white headphones. It’s probably not an iPhone killer but it’ll probably be dubbed that since every new phone gets that tag. Hopefully, it takes off better than the Nexus one seems to have.
I’m glad today is election day. This means I will stop getting calls from campaigns. I’ve gotten a ridiculous amount of calls from people asking me to vote for a certain candidate like McDonnell, Deeds, and Kheem. In fact, most of the calls were just recordings. The call would go something like this: “Hi, I’m an annoying person from ABC, and we support this guy.” Yesterday I came home to 6 messages! I thought having auto-dialers was illegal too. At least it was on that one episode of the Simpsons when Homer got one.
I’m finding that my schedule is pretty busy these days so I can’t do everything I used to do. Gym visits are less frequent. TV watching is down. I can’t even find the time to wash our cars either. Luckily, I found the best mobile car detailing company! All you have to do is watch their video and you’ll want to call and make an appointment before they’re booked solid.
White said that lightweights Nate Diaz (11-4) and Gray Maynard (8-0) will square off Jan. 11 at Patriot Center in Fairfax in the main event of Ultimate Fight Night 20, one in a series of cards that have been televised by Spike TV.
White said that he expects the show’s attendance numbers to confirm his belief that the Washington area is a fertile place to bring bigger shows such as Saturday’s UFC 104, a pay-per-view event that will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. UFC 104 features a main event between current light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
Let’s see how much tickets will cost. I’m sure they’ll have no problem selling them. I see tons of yokels with Affliction and Tapout t-shirts all over the place. Not to mention there’s a Ed Hardy store coming to Tysons Corner. Now that’s another story!
