If only real life was in 3D like the movies

Work was even quieter than the last few days. I had very little that needed done meaning I spent the whole day doing nothing. To many, the prospect of standing around doing nothing with people you get on with and getting paid for it is bliss, but I get easily bored when I have nothing to do, so I'm finding it pretty frustrating. This evening saw a Samsung representative visit us to plug the upcoming 3D TV's and teach us about them. I have been keeping an eye on the vague details online for months now, so I was reduced to screaming fanboy, especially when we were given freebies in form of a Lanyard and a pen, each emblazoned with the Samsung 3DTV logo. I am not being paid to say this, but they do sound incredible and apparently we will be getting them in the next few weeks. One thing I didn't know about was that they can "upscale" 2D video to 3D, meaning literally anything can be viewed in 3D, even a VHS. I will remain sceptical about the success of this until I personally view it, but the potential is very exciting. I use the word exciting to express my own opinion; probably not most other people's...

This evening the bus driver was very pleasant. Just to make it clear that I don't have something against them.

Just before writing this, I was sent a link from Matt to samples from Rhapsody of Fire's upcoming album. It sounds like the album is going to be incredible. One full song is very good but quite weak, while the short sample of another track is mind-numbingly awesome.

It seems today has been a day of intense geekery; heightened by my pleasure at catching a Pikachu on the shop floor using the Pokewalker. Long may it continue.
