Apples.

Apple blog post number one won't be coming until tomorrow since I'm tired (the one regarding apple slices and sugar triggering memories and stuff). However, I do have something else regarding apples. Or, more accurately, the one and only Apple.

Steve Jobs lost his fight to Cancer today and it astonished me greatly. I was kind of curious why Jobs didn't show up at the keynote, but I forgot all about his Cancer until Morgan texted me while I was packing flyers and notified me of his death by simply saying "Steve Jobs is dead." Upon glimpsing my Twitter feed, the news was confirmed.

Now, I'm not an Apple fanboy (used to be...) but I do have to say, Android OS and Windows would not be as far ahead as they are today if they did not have to compete and keep-up with Apple's iOS and OSX, respectively. It is a big loss for Apple and for the whole of the tech crowd to lose such an innovative man. May he rest in peace.

Moving right on, I watched CSI tonight and I have to say, nothing has gotten me on edge like that before. They had proper terminology - the rapist was called a predator, a murderer, and of course a rapist, but never did they blame anything on paedophilia - and the guy with the chocolate fetish...well...that was kind of humorous but also handled extremely well. For a show like CSI that is fairly mainstream and has given bad light to fetishes and sexualities in the past, it was a very good episode. I think I may begin watching it regularly...if I don't get nightmares from seeing a girl's maggot-ridden skull encased in concrete. The plot was fairly predictable but all the while exciting, and it included a wide variety of more mature topics that I love being exposed to. Shows that go in-depth about nasty things are like a guilty pleasure...the more I see, the more I know, and the more I get desensitized from.

And now it's 45 minutes past my bedtime. Swell. I think I'll end this here for now. 'til we meet again...farewell.
