29 June - A day of camping out

I'm glad it is the 29th. Not just because it is my last day of formal employment, but also since today (hopefully) the Apple iPhone pre-hype will be over. I really like Apple. Yes, I'll probably buy an iPhone when they finally arrive over here. But I've had enough of all the hype in the on-line technology publications and all types of media outlets - what is good, what is bad, pricing plans, etc. etc. etc.

So today I'm just glad that it is finally being launched - I suspect that over the next couple of days there will still be (too much) media reports on the thing and then things will start to quiet down. Hype is one thing, but the way the online publications have treated this one has become just too much for me. Here is to some peace and quiet. (Hopefully...)
