Apple opens massive retail store in Beijing, China

Apple has just opened a retail store in Beijing, China.

Apple has joined the International retail presence in Beijing with their first Chinese Apple Store opening today. Without any other obligations on a Saturday morning, I decided to check out the scene at The Village at Sanlitun, near a popular Beijing nightlife hotspot.

Feel the Power of the Schwartz

Matt — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:44:08 +0000

How many professors do you know that would sing in front of their class? Unless you’re taking music classes, I doubt you’ll be raising your hand for this one, but let me rephrase the question: How many Computer Science professors will create a parody of the course and then perform it in front of class with the instrumental version of Alice Cooper’s “I’m Eighteen?” Put your hands down.�This is the power of the Schwartz.

Professor Schwartz — once a superhero who�has superhuman strength and agility and can perform amazing acrobatic feats. His feet are as agile as his hands and can be used to perform any action his hands are able to. He is also able to rapidly heal himself from injuries,�professor at some over-hyped Ivy League school,�professor at Cornell — now teaches various types of Computer Science including Game Design and�Development�at RIT. Not only has he scaled Mount Everest while wearing only an 1837 diving mask, but he also writes and sings his own parodical music.

Today, David “The Beast” Schwartz sung a song of many a tale. It was the long-awaited 218-end-of-the-year-theme-song. Unfortunately I do not have video but pictures of The Beast�in his full glory.

And now, the infamous lyrics:

�

Lines of code form in my brain � � � � ��

Lines of code go down the drain � � � � �

In a bind with no backup plan � � � � � �

I’m annoyed, and I am damned

�

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

and I can’t take anymore � � � � � � � ��

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

I just need to head for the door � � � ��

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

I just can’t get arrays � � � � � � � � �

I need to implement this interface � � ��

My heap needs to allocate more space � ��

Oh no � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

�

I took 217 just to give me a start � � ��

It’s been 10 weeks just to get this far �

Don’t know what my prof’s talkin’ about �

Feels like I’m festering with doubt � � �

Here in � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

�

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

We get new syntax each day � � � � � � ��

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

Skip anything and wow, do we pay! � � � �

218! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

But I need to graduate � � � � � � � � ��

�

Can’t understand what the compiler says �

Feels like I’m in over my head � � � � ��

I’m in between � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

a programming sequence � � � � � � � � ��

I’m annoyed, and I am damned � � � � � ��

I’m in 218 and I like it � � � � � � � ��

Yes I like it � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Oh I like it � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��

Love it � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Like it � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

Love it � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

218 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

218 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

218 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

218 and I like it!

What do you think about The Beast?

Donnie, Meet Bush

Oh there he is!, originally uploaded by iWaffles.

Donnie, the guy who sleeps in the same room as me, was desperate for money and would do anything in his power to obtain the cottony-green-goodness. I offered him five dollars and he agreed.

I�looked at him and said, “You won’t go outside and jump in that bush,” quickly he replied, “that’s crazy!” Oh but little do you know about this Donnie Maguire. “I’ll give you five bucks, down to your skivvies and into that bush.” He quickly agreed and his eyes widened with great excitement.

A picture is worth a thousand words, I’ve got 26-thousand for you: Donnie Meets Bush.

Woof!

I wanted to test out my new camera, so I took a few snaps of Adam’s samoyeds.�And one of my dog. “We play fetchez nowz!”�
