happy new year

water echos thuds
of exploding firework shells
night becoming day

fire erupts from bridge
then more from city buildings
crowds look on in awe

shivers up my spine
as the very city roars
one million cheers

twitter haiku challenge

Molly put out a challenge to Twitter in haiku for 24 hours. I didn't keep it going for the entire 24 hours, but I did write a few haiku.

returning from lunch
email vies for attention
yet i twitter first

twenty-four hours long
creative jam from molly
can we keep this up?

apple glitz and glam
reality check required
for iphone mania

squealing macbook pros
malarkey's third degree burns
never buy gen one!

change freeze is lifted
launch storm blows in at gale force
servers slowing down

my experience:
macs crash like any other
i get evil ones

i must admit it
osx is better, but
not enough to switch

twitter 404
not the funniest ever
but still amusing

aircon up so high
the cold seeps in through my shoes
meeting in "the fridge"

* The Mac-related posts were a response to people telling me to buy a Mac, unprovoked as far as I can remember! The OSX comment, in context, referred to it being better than previous versions of MacOS.

the cool seems settled
the air has winter's first touch
i close my jacket

with her winning smile
she chats up the barista
his sangfroid muddled

white sugar coffee
sickly sweetness overload
raw sugar preferred
