I haven’t had time to go through all my photos, so I’m about two days behind. Here is a teaser of what’s to come for day 3 and 4.

NZ Trip Day 1-2
Feb 7
We got up early on Friday morning, as we had to be at the airport by 5:45 am. Not long after taking off, I discovered that I was already talking in a Kiwi accent, and adding “bro” and “ay” after every sentence. It hasn’t stopped since.

New Zealand Trip
Feb 4
Tomorrow morning Camille and I will be heading to New Zealand’s south island. We’re hiring a car and driving around for two weeks, taking in all the sights and partaking in some exciting activities like a helicopter flight, hike on a glacier, jet boating, cruising Milford Sound, horse riding (through Lord of the Rings territory) and a tour through the all-important Cadbury factory!
Of course, we’ve packed all the essentials. No, not velcro gloves… CAMERAS!
We're taking the essentials...
Keep your eyes peeled, because I’ll try to update this blog every few days with some teaser photos of what exciting things we’ve been doing. See you all soon!
iPad
Jan 28
I came across this well-placed ad during a hands-on video of the new Apple iPad.
The e-book reader application looks pretty interesting; it’s much prettier than the Amazon Kindle, though navigation doesn’t seem 100% yet. It’ll also strain your eyes after a couple of hours, unlike an e-ink display. Check out the video here. The iPad is basically a bigger version of the iPod, but seems to be missing some crucial features such as multi-tasking and Flash (Steve Jobs goes on about how great it is for web… but doesn’t support Flash?). I guess with future iterations they will fix these issues, but I’m sure it will do well anyway – people will buy just for the brand. The iPad seems to be a jack of all trades, master of none. It seems as though Apple is trying to fill a gap in the market that doesn’t really exist!

In addition to the pics in the previous post, I’ve also merged some bracketed shots together with Photomatix and uploaded to flickr.
