Hello my name is Joel and I'm an Apple Fanboy. There I said it. Now it's out there. Not that anyone who knows me or read this blog doesn't already know that. But it feels good to say it. More then any other Apple purchase I've ever made, the Apple Watch felt like a purchase only the fanboy side of me would allow to happen. Do I really need a smart watch? No. Do I like having an Apple Watch? Absolutely. 

A week ago Apple announced among other things the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. It was the first time since the original iPhone I actually had a decision to make. It wasn't an Android v iPhone decision but instead a size decision. Did I want to go with the big iPhone 6 Plus. Well if you know me at all you can probably guess the answer to that. I went big and got the iPhone 6 Plus in silver/white with 64GB of storage. 

I don't remember when my Apple addiction began. I just know in my early teens having a fascination with Apple as a company. I remember watching Steve Jobs give these electric press conferences and thinking wow this is a company that gets it. My love for the company grew exponentially with the introduction of the iPhone which I purchased right after release and then upgraded to the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and then iPhone 5.

Jenn and I have been talking about purchasing an iMac for a long time. We have been wanting to get a desktop computer to be our one stop shop to do all of our video editing from all of our trips, host all of our music on iTunes, and all sorts of different things. When Apple announced that they were putting out a 27" iMac for $1699, Jenn and I jumped on it. Living close to Fashion Island in Newport Beach we decided that we would walk to the Apple Store to purchase our iMac. The idea sounded great at the time, walk around with our iMac, how hard could that be? Well let's just say I am glad we had my brother Jake around with us because the 27" iMac isn't the easiest box to carry around with you. All in all it was hilarious watching us try to walk back with our iMac, but needless to say that we made it back to the apartment with everything intact.

Earlier today while surfing around the net I came across an article at Apple Insider discussing a rumor going around that Apple is pushing around the idea of releasing a $30 based TV subscription program. There obviously aren't all that many details floating around, but it got me thinking, would I give up some of my cable bill to go to an Apple based subscription service?

So I am a big fan of having goals, in fact both Jenn and I are very goal oriented and we set out goals for ourselves all of the time. Earlier this year I put up a post 5 Tech Items I Would Like to Buy in 2009 and they were a list of items at the time were items I wanted to purchase for our new apartment. Now that 2009 is growing closer and closer to an end I thought I would update that list with new items I would like to buy. Currently off of that original list we have purchased a TV, Camera, and DVR. The other two items Roomba (we decided to not go with) and the iMac (more on that later) we have not yet purchased.
