Updates

I really need, at some point, to put more RAM in my laptop. It runs well for the most part, but some intensive tasks can bog it down a bit. All in all, it's not bad.

I updated my Apple products to iOS 5, and have started making use of some of the iCloud features. I retain my Google mail, of course, but am trying out the other products like calendar, reminders, address book, and photo stream. I'm very pleased with the photo stream functionality, since it means I'm no longer doomed to email photos to myself to get them on other devices.

Overall iOS 5 seems to be a success, though - I do enjoy the new notification system, and there's just enough other tweaks in there to make it all very worthwhile. I do not see myself upgrading to an iPhone 4S, though. Although, the 8 megapixel f/2.8 camera is a pretty nice touch.

I picked up 110 more 78 RPM records at the Ithaca book sale this past weekend. Almost all are single-sided pre-1920 records, so I'm very happy about that. It seems like the quality of the records gets better every year!
