<p>Hugh Grant's hooker apology from a few years ago was way better. I actually switched over to an old you tube video of it during Tiger's speech.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Avatar: The Last Airbender</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I had to rank the - lets face it - considerable list of cartoons I've enjoyed starting as a child and far into adulthood, Avatar The Last Airbender would easily find its way into the top 5. If not occupying the number 1 spot.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Its three seasons complete an epic story arc of love, hate, friendship, betrayal and redemption I did not expect to find in a "children&rsquo;s" show.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second trailer for the live action movie adaptation was released during the Super Bowl this year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am disappointed by the need for the name change. Apparently there's another movie out right now under the name Avatar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think it's an Indy movie.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You've probably never heard of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, the trailer knocked my socks off.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">::doves::</p>
<p>Chances are you will like it and want to buy it. Or not and won't. One if those two, I'm not sure what the fuss is beyond that.</p>
<p>The only real thoughts i feel like throwing into the pot are; i think we should take the lead from my iPhone by refusing to recognize "iPad" as a real word.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Also, here's another picture of Christina Hendricks. Because... well because I felt like it.</p>

<p>A. Love Apple</p>
<p>B. Manage to avoid every tech blog in the Internet.</p>
<p>C. Read my blog.</p>
<p>D. Can't wait the 12hours until something is officially launched.</p>
<p>Tomorrows big Apple announcement will, as guessed by nearly everyone, be a new tablet. <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5457588/mcgraw+hill-ceo-confirms-apple-tablet-with-iphone+style-os">Beans spilled by Apples surely soon-to-be-ex-content partner McGraw-Hill's Harold McGraw III. </a></p>
<p>Rumors still abound on what exactly the final product will be. Enough so that anything less than granting direct control over time/space itself will ensure there will be a backlash against it. It's human nature.</p>
<p>I have my weaknesses ($500 gen 1 iPhone) but I'm far from a ifanboy. If you get the chance, and don't mind expletives, you should ask me about my thoughts on the Apple store.</p>
<p>But I must admit I'm drawn to this still theoretical product and all it's potential.</p>
<p>Change video media market the same way the iPod changed audio?</p>
<p>What the iPhone did for the cell market?</p>
<p>Or will it be more like what AppleTV did for TV?</p>
<p>Either way I'm glad Ive been working a lot of overtime recently. I have a feeling I may have a large unnecessary expense in my future.</p>
