Salivation

While in a CVS parking lot yesterday I spotted the back of a hatchback that was both unfamiliar to me and extremely attractive. I've been a hatchback enthusiast ever since I had a 91 civic hatchback in high school which I proceeded to dump way too much money into. I haven't owned another hatchback since but they remain to produce a desire in me that no human should ever have for an inanimate object. 

The car I spotted turned out to be the one pictured above, the new Volvo C-30 hatchback and it is a beauty! The car is Volvo's attempt to attract younger customers (done) and is actually the most affordable ride in the new Volvo fleet. I can't get too excited though because affordable to Volvo is still out of my price range. Another cool feature of the C-30 is that it will be offered as a turbo diesel and of course the almighty T5 turbo. Maybe I'll be able to pick one up 10 years down the line, until then I will just have to keep drooling over the one's I spot in drug store parking lots.

Oh Apple, how I love thee

Introducing the 24-inch LED Cinema Display. It doesn’t just expand the screen of your new MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air. With a built-in iSight camera, mic, notebook charger and speakers, it expands your whole experience.

So simple yet utterly genius. Unless you are doing 3-d or motion graphics there is really no need for a desktop computer anymore. I know this sort of set up has existed for some time now, but with the new power of the macbook pros and the ease and accesibilty of the new cinema display, apple has won me over yet again. Not to say I will be able to afford anything like it for a long time, but a girl can dream
