Blog looks different, huh? I changed it last night from blogsome to wordpress, not because there was anything wrong with the old one, but because wordpress have released a little application that allows blog integration with the marvellous iPhone. Yes, you heard right, buddy, this cat went out and grabbed himself one o’ them 3G wonders the day it was released here in Japan, and now I’ll be able to productively utilise my comatose Starbucks sessions to wax lyrical more frequently thanks to my tiny-keyboarded electronic bundle of over-priced joy! Huzzah!

However, as I type this it suddenly occurs to me that what with the iPhone’s full web browsing capabilities I could have just gone and blogged on the old one as usual, buy hey! a change is a good as a rest and there’s nothing like a new gadget for doing a whole load of pointless and time-consuming things that didn’t really need to be done…

Still, the new blog layout is rather fetching, isn’t it, what with the exciting colour scheme and that cool banner shot of some bimbos in Nagasaki chirping to an audience of umbrellas (one of my all-time classic photos, methinks, oh so modestly).

And don’t worry, I will of course be porting over all of the old posts in yet another gargantuan task of time-wasting analness. If that is not a real word, that how about ‘anality‘?

However, all has not been well with some other of Mr.Job’s products. On July 6th my iMac winked out of existence before my very eyes, and was shortly carted off by some men in white coats and dark glasses. More than a fortnight elapsed before the machine mysteriously reappeared with a terse note to the effect that some unspecified bits had been changed. Luckily not the hard drive as I had feared, and thus my enormous collection of men’s relaxational cinematic renderings were saved, albeit probably sullied by the gaze of some grinning Mac grease-monkey at the depot.
