You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine, and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?

Number 1, The Bridge
If you're not sure whether you're in New York or Sydney, here's a tip: Find the bridge with the big stone towers at each end. If it goes down in the middle, you're in New York; if it goes up in the middle, you're in Sydney.

I was just looking for a new wallpaper after spending nearly a minute looking for an icon. While this:
Is awesome, it's far too busy to be practical. I replaced it with this:
Which is beautiful and undistracting. But while searching for something suitably decorative I happened upon that very, very lost photographer.
(I'm guessing someone thought it was the Bayonne Bridge, which is at least a steel arch bridge and looks kind of similar to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the confusion grew from there. You can tell them apart as follows: The Sydney Harbour Bridge is much heavier - it carries eight lanes of traffic plus two rail lines to the Bayonne's four lanes; it has four enormous stone pylons that the Bayonne lacks; it has two mechanical spiders that run over the arch, used by the maintenance crews; it has the Australian and NSW state flags on top (a spider and one of the flags are clearly visible in the photo); and finally, it's in Sydney.)

Out Of Names Error
I don't know how many people have bought iPads because they liked the Nexus 7 so much, but whatever the number is, +1.

I've been thinking about it ever since the retina iPad appeared; I could afford it, but there was a gap between afford and justify that I couldn't bridge. The cheaper Nexus 7 had much less of a gap, so that became my first PDA since my trusty Palm Tungsten T3.
And I find I use it all the time. It really is a brilliant device.
The 7" screen is just right for reading fiction and playing games and generally noodling around. It's too small for reading technical documents, comfortable web browsing, or watching TV. (If you need to zoom in, your screen's too small.)
So I found myself looking at the Asus Transformer Infinity, probably the best all-around Android tablet today. It's kind of expensive in Australia, though, and although the 1920x1200 10" screen is a solid step up from the Nexus 7's 1280x800. it's still not the 2048x1536 of the iPad.
And since I wanted an iPad for software development anyway, and I walk past the local Apple Store on the way to the supermarket, and I needed to buy groceries today, well....
Now I need a name. Recent female anime character, preferably a schoolgirl and goddess, and associated with apples. Unfortunately, Horo is taken.
Need a name for my Nexus 7 too, come to think of it.
P.S. 3G, 64GB, black, as I said to the young lady in the blue shirt.
