So I finally watched Dead Poets Society (it’s frequently mentioned in The Inside Story as a case study) and was amused to note that the photograph they used of Robin Williams as a teenager is one that I and many of my old chums are familiar with. It hangs in the library of Redwood High School, our old alma mater. Yes, Robin Williams and I went to the same high school, just a scant 15-20 years apart from each other.

There’s nothing much for me to say about DPS except for the fact that it’s now one of my favorite movies of all time. Oh, and it’s kind of weird to see Robert Sean Leonard (Wilson from House) as a teenager. See? He did fulfill his father’s wishes and became a doctor after all.

So today I ordered the low-end 16 GB wifi-only iPad. My rationale for doing this is such: I’m going to use this thing to develop iPad software and as a couch-based web surfing device; then when the 2nd generation of the iPad comes out I’ll get a new model and give this one to my mom.

Also, look man: I’ve gotta have it. I can’t not-have it. I am legally required to purchase it and use it. It completes me. Get off my back already.
