FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways.... The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...
I'm a Zeppelin fan since 1998, when I was 20, so I never lived those times but I'm kind of forever fascinated with so many things sixties/seventies... this artwork is one of my Zepp favorites with Physical Graffiti's and In Through The Out Door. Certainly they were amazing works of art... so well thinked and crafted. For me that whole era - around 1965-1975 - vynil and analogic and contracultural times, was rock's golden era, so many great artists and bands... the creativity and innovation was exploding in all kinds of directions with so much quality, and the colective thinking and consciousness of people. I learn a lot from those magical times, so I'm always quite respecful of what happend in those years.
