iMac Part 1 – The Decision to Buy, Ordering & Delivery

By TechnologyNo Comments

Ever since I saw my good friend Steve’s iMac, I’ve wanted one. This desire has meant that every time I’m in Manchester, I simply had to play with iMac’s in the Apple Store.

But the thing that always stopped me from purchasing: the price. Then I sat down and worked out how much I spend on smoking and was shocked. If I stopped smoking, I could pay it off in under a year. Then my laptop started switching off the display, which I knew wouldn’t be good if I was on the elearning chat as part of my Uni course. So I ordered one online, in that funny time between Christmas and New Year.

So with it on order and me constantly checking the UPS Tracker, there was only one thing to do. Make space for it on my desk:


It seemed to take forever to arrive, probably because of bank holidays and my constant tracking due to excited anticipation, but then it did:


I haven’t done an unboxing video, but there are many apple enthusiasts that have on youtube.

So has it lived up to expectations? How’s the move from Windows to Mac been? Find out in part two!

Youtube Homophobia

By The WebNo Comments

Over a year ago, I posted this video to Youtube:

Then about a week ago, I received an email stating I had comments on the video. I logged on and saw:

It was a reminder that homophobia still exsists in this hertrosexual world.

How would this person react if they met me face to face? Would they hide their homophobia or be verbally and physically abusive? I guess for them it would depend on the setting. I would react in the same way regardless of the setting, I would challenge their homophobia providing it was safe to do so.

My response to him: Yeah, I’m gay, and?

If I were him I would be concerned as to why he was on a video authored by a gay man? Perhaps some internalised homophobia towards himself?

Get a life! I shall be challenging this through Youtube. Not so much for me, but for any gay person that has ever experienced homophobia. If it’s not challenged, it will only continue.

Let you know how I get on with Youtube,

Unfortunately the homophobe’s have already been on commenting. The usual comments, including how wrong it is blah, blah.

Get a life! Then you can stop commenting on other people’s lives!

Oh and 1 in 10 people are gay, lesbian or bisexual. So you probably know a few. What you going to say to your nearest and dearest when they come out?

Honestly!

Rant Over,

Antony
