You may have noticed the lack of posts here and there’s one simple reason. I have a new blog!
jonathandavi.es
It’s running on Tumblr, which apart from being a fresh start has widened the amount of content that I’m posting, such as links, articles and videos. Tumblr may have some limitations, but from moving away from a self hosted solution I feel I can focus a lot more on blogging, rather than the blog itself.
It’s a move that a fair few number of people have been making, and I think it will be for the better. So, if you’ve been subscribed to this weblog, then may I suggest you subscribe to the new feed. Or at least check out new site to see if you like it.
I’ve enjoyed my WordPress blog, and it will probably stay as is until I get around to putting some sort of info page up.
Thanks for reading!

"You Can't Even Watch DVDs"

I just need to get something off my chest. Ever since August, and the purchase of my MacBook Air the number one comment that I’ve had has been:

“Is that the one without a CD drive? Why did you get that? You can’t even watch DVDs”.

Yes, how observant of you. Have a cookie. If I wanted to watch DVDs on my computer I would have made a sensible move and purchased a computer that has an optical drive. I didn’t buy the computer unaware that it didn’t include one. Please don’t insult my intelligence by assuming such things. There’s a lot more to using a computer than watching movies.

iTunes. iTunes. iTunes. I buy my music from iTunes, I buy television shows from iTunes, I rent and buy movies; from iTunes. Problem solved. Move on.

That is all.
