Tech: Oh yeah, we almost forgot: Apple released a bunch of crap

  • Steve Jobs needed a good keynote today, after all of the crappy PR Apple has faced over the last few months. And he did a great job. Too bad that guy had to go into the Discovery Building and hold it hostage. But that said, the products were pretty cool. Our favorites were the new iPod Nanos (above) and the freshly updated iPod Touch. And the Apple TV update was definitely a good move – especially the newfound focus on Netflix. We’re totally pouring a 40, though, for the old-school iPod Classic, which wasn’t updated at all this year (though it’s still for sale). source

Culture: Rick Warren not blind, just had a traumatic gardening accident

  • I am NOT BLIND! — which should be obvious from me typing this note! (I asked for prayer on Twitter and all kinds of rumors started spreading) I’m now resting at home, with the pain being managed by oral meds and a regimen of eye meds to heal the damage. I expect to make a full recovery.
  • Pastor Rick Warren • Responding to fears on Twitter or elsewhere that he had gone blind. Which is very comforting considering the original message was so scary. He was injured in a gardening accident involving the Euphorbia tirucalli, which has toxic sap. (Thanks to Tom Alday for mentioning the update.) source
