Apple nerdery
The Steve gave his keynote at WWDC 2010 today, which I eagerly followed via a liveblog. A few thoughts: I really, really want an iPad. I want an iPad like a LOLcat wants a cheeseburger. I can haz?

Some lovely things:

This picture is from last week (it was taken with Photo Booth) and it was inspired by my awesome friend Paul’s coffee-mug-lovin’ Twitter photo.
