So, it's been a while since my last entry. Unfortunately this was not out of laziness, it would just appear that the last few weeks have been rather uneventful and so I have had little that I think has been worthy of blogging. As such, this could potentially be a very short blog (but I guess we'll see won't we).
The title of my blog today comes from an interview with Mark Hamill that I was listening to a week or so ago. For those of you who may not know, I am a massive Star Wars geek and this month saw the long awaited Star Wars Convention known as Celebration V arrive at the Orange County in the United States. Sometimes I forget just how talented Mark Hamill actually is (most people only really knows him playing Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars Trilogy). It is easy to forget sometimes some of the fantastic voice work that he has done, perhaps his most well known being The Joker in the Batman: Animated Series of the 90's which he has reprised for other Batman related media also. For those interested in listening to the interview, either for love/intrigue of Mark Hamill or for Star Wars, you can find the interview here:

Also coming up on the 1st September is the next Apple Conference. Speculation is going on as to what exactly might be making an appearance there such as the next generation if iPod Touch as well as a new version of iTunes to keep people happy. There is also speculation as to Apple's new version of the Apple TV which I have never been much of a fan of as I fail to see it's point but we shall see if they do anything exciting with it if it is indeed revealed on Wednesday. But if I'm honest, the only reason I am excited for the conference is the possibility of the release of iOS 4 for the iPad
Now, iOS 4 was released a couple of months ago now along with the iPhone 4 but us iPad owners were told to be patient as we were told to wait until Autumn before our shiny tablets would be getting a makeover. For me it makes logical sense therefore that the iPad may very well be getting some shiny new features that are exclusive to the iPad. Here's hoping!
And finally, a few weeks ago my research book for my 'big project' of 2011 arrived in the post which excited me somewhat. However, my excitement was quickly reduced however when I realised that despite my A Level in Philosophy & Ethics, I did not have the smallest clue as to what Mr Guy Debord was trying to tell me. But I will just have to be persistent and hope I can decode his writing. So yes, to give you the first little clue as to what our piece will be about, the book I am reading is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord.
Until next time!
