WILL IT BLEND - iPAD


OK, ok, ok... yes we had to do it!

Ray and I stood in line for a few hours on Saturday morning (that was a hard wake up) and purchase an iPad... just so we could blend it. It turned into a media circus. We stood in line with over a hundred other people, many of whom looked like it was one of the few times they stepped out of their mothers basement (in between levels).

But there were a few responsible people there. We were there because we were paid to be. It was actually pretty fun. Ray, who doesn't own an apple product and won't, acted like he was part of the gang. It's only because 5 minutes before opening, there were about 40 Mac employees at the Salt Lake store who ran around the building clapping, cheering, acting excited (a little better then the employees who "act" like they get excited at a Monday morning Walmart employee meeting... er, I mean, "team member" meeting).

We just played along, and Ray gave hugs to employees as if his life just changed for the better. Like, his life can go on, now that he has an iPad (that he is going to destroy later that day.) In the midst of that, he went on the be on the front page of the Local section of the Salt Lake Tribune. I also was interviewed on the Deseret News and this morning on Salt Lake's country station K-BULL and it was pretty funny.

So does the iPad blend? You will have to see and find out.
