This for me is an image of a warm summer's day just drawing into the early evening and being in a place that has no cars or even lots of man made noise near you, even if only for a few minutes.

The last Post
Well I have made a last post of the year to this Blog, I see that I did not do 100 posts this year, but some 80 odd, so not that bad in the end.
May be next year I will get to 100.
Who knows
It will be fun finding out.

Time
So the end of the year is very nearly with us and I suppose that I should see if I can do a blog for the last few days of this year, will I do it?

Dirk Maggs Website
Updates again to the site, some how or other missed a show that Dirk produced called Growning up with the Goons broadcast on 25 th December 2008 I must admit that I think we were just a bit busy with Xmas stuff and all that. As Dirk produced the show it has gone on the site as it is something he did do.
All I have to try an do is get to hear it!

ipod touch
Well as I said earlier the touch is what I got for Xmas this year to replace a rather old creative mp3 player. So far I have found that it's all to easy to download free apps that you don't need, and the apps that you do want have yet to be written. I have also had the odd thought or two on how easy is it for Apple to redo the firmware in the machine as there as still a few parts of the software that come with the machine that just look like they have not been finished.
Other than that I have so far had lots of fun with the thing and have now only got 12G free...

itouch & all that
Can you guess what I got for Xmas?, yes that's right a new mp3 player, this time it's from Apple and it's a itouch.
My old creative mp3 player has done very good service, and it still works but as I am into podcasts it does not handle them, mainly because when it was made they did not exist!
So I am now in the Apple crowd along with lots of other folk and I must say for the most part the experance has been very good.
My podcasts are all where they should be and it all sync's nice.
What I don't like is that when i transferd some of my exsisting music it never seems to have the album artwork and this is for stuff that is in the shops and had been out there for folks to buy for weeks or months why is it? The stuff is very popular eg the albums are in the top twenty.
The other thing that I like about the itouch is how light and small it is and how nice the screen is.
As I have the 32G unit you can see why I needed one that big as I have already only got 14G space left on it!
So of course it goes with out saying that in early 2009 they will release the 64G unit, not that I need that much space yet!

Blogs and all that stuff
So for the first time in a while I have some spare time, and as it's very cold outside and I don't want to freeze on the mountain bike I start to surf the net and flicker and Blogger, and I have found some Blogs that have opened my eyes to how cruel and dam right nasty people can be to each other, and just because of choices and nature can get things wrong.
I have to admit to not thinking about some of the choices folks out there have to make, and what I have read, some of the things that they have had to go through I know that I could not.
So I have linked to them and I am going to follow their Blogs, their lives are very different from mine, but they are the same as me, in wanting the same things that I think all of use want, friendship, love ect you know the list of common things that all of us want and need, and most of us get some of these things, now as I am not that outward going in real-life and also on the net, I find that I don't have the guts to just drop a line or two, to these folk just to say wow your great in going for it and what you need to do to find peace.
So if you folk do some how fall over this site, I am sorry that I have not given you a nod to say go for it, but I have my own hurdles, I know they are nothing to what you have to go through.
May be one day I will be able to climb my own personal mountain...
Knowing just how bad I have been at doing this Blog, this could and I think will be my last Blog of the year.
