Happy iPad day to all of those getting an iPad today!! And of course, welcome to another Daily Thread from Lukeh. Yes, after the big release in America a few weeks ago the iPad is finally here in the UK, parts of Europe, Canada and Australia and I’m sure those excited about it are just begging to play along with their new gadget. A few commentors have already had theirs arrive nice and early! Nevertheless, we must return to Formula 1 (although Jake Humphrey has an iPad at Monaco!) and other topics with our nice cuddly bullet points:

  • Today is of course the first day of practise for the Turkish Grand Prix with FP1 and FP2 taking place over the course of the day. If you’re unsure of the times then feel free to check out the very useful guide written up from Sidepodcast HQ to give you all the info you need. Remember if you’re free to watch free practise then please come and comment with those watching in the comments! I’m not a massive fan of Turkey to be honest – it’s just another Tilkedrome for me – but F1 is F1 so fingers crossed we get a good weekend of action! It’s also the commencing day of action in the Rally of Portugal and I know Lady Snowcat is out there ready to cheer on Kimi Raikkonen! Go Kimi!!
  • I’ve gotten myself blogging left right and centre at the moment it seems! Yesterday morning I published my feelings on my personal blog TOATA regarding a quite incredible gig by Jonsi that took place on Wednesday night. You may remember that I mentioned Jonsi a few weeks ago when it was his birthday, and even though his album is stupendously good, as you can guess by my blog his live shows are beyond words. Lou even found this amazing video right by where we were standing!! Eeeek!!!! I also found the time to give my thoughts and feelings regarding the Austin 2012 deal for the United States Grand Prix. It was all sounding so good until two words were uttered... go and read my blog at Gridwalk Talk to see what two words they were! That’s enough self plugging for one week I reckon. Phew.
  • Now for something slightly different/awesome/bobsleddy. Karun Chandhok revealed yesterday how he has a lucky egg – how awesome is that? The man got the idea from the greatest film of all time of course, Cool Runnings. Clearly Mr Chandhok, who is doing quite well in Christine’s Rankings, feels the rhythm and most certainly feels the rhyme. Other things worth checking out today include James Allen’s post on one quite mangled Ferrari in Monaco. All I’m saying is I’m glad I’m not dealing with the insurance on that. It’s not exactly a Ford Fiesta now is it? On a more Sidepodcentric level, a brand spanking new Aside with Joe is available for your listening which is always guaranteed to be an hour of podcasting worth listening to guaranteed from Joe Saward and Mr C. It’s already been a popular new addition to the series for many, as they always are. More awesomeness within the Sidepodcommunity can be found on Mclaren’s homepage in which Pamela, Amy, Paul and Jeremy all appear under the ‘Get Closer To Our Team’ banner! Awesome!! Go McLaren!

There we go, another week of those lovely bullet points. They’re very adorable things. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to get Cool Runnings in there somewhere for ages. I’m gonna close this week’s daily thread by being a bit soppy and revealing that today Lou and myself have been together 13 months so I thought it’d be nice to wish her a Happy Anniversary for today!! Hopefully you guys will have a great day today going into an F1 weekend and I shall see you on the other side as long as you decide to click that Submit Comment button and get involved with all the lovely commentors on Sidepodcast!

    Hi Guille

    How was your Bicentennial?

  • guille230628/05/2010 at 01:16

    Hi Guille

    How was your Bicentennial?

    pretty relaxed. after thinking about it the night before, I 'forgot' (read didn't get up early enough...) to go to the parade in the city. but Bariloche is relatively small, I didn't lose very much anyway

    in Buenos Aires, on the other hand, it seems it was a very BIG party. numbers are at more than 6 million people in the 5 days the celebrations took place, 2.5 million in the last day alone. everybody is amazed at the participation, it was the biggest single event in the history of the country :-)

  • Bassano28/05/2010 at 01:17

    it was the biggest single event in the history of the country :-)

    Sounds amazing

  • guille230628/05/2010 at 01:24

    Sounds amazing

    Nobody, not even the national government that organized it, thought that it would be so big. And the best of all: not a single incident, not violence, not thefts, nothing. 2 million people together and all of them happy.

Dhl won't let me pick up things from their office today, which is handily located in my suburb, they said I can't until monday. No point in that, Im better off getting it redelivered to work on monday.

    I've updated my Fantasy Racers teams, making only one change - Jarno Trulli is now too expensive for LCM Barato and has been replaced with Pedro de la Rosa.

    Interestingly, Glock is 4.90m and Webber is up to 16.45m.

    So my team composition is now:

    2 (5) - Senna/de la Rosa/Kubica/Sutil/Hamilton

    1 (9) - Massa/di Grassi/Chandhok/Glock/Kobayashi/Webber/Vettel/Rosberg/Button/Liuzzi

    This is how bad the xda is. remember styluses? plus it has this annoying habit of popping the awful sim card cover off thus switching it off. i need an iphone!

    I've got a stylus-equipped PDA. Very useful for things like digital signatures but it's good that it can also be keyboard-operated. Relying on a stylus for everything would be a pain.

  • Alianora La Canta28/05/2010 at 08:52

    in Buenos Aires, on the other hand, it seems it was a very BIG party. numbers are at more than 6 million people in the 5 days the celebrations took place, 2.5 million in the last day alone. everybody is amazed at the participation, it was the biggest single event in the history of the country :-)

    Nobody, not even the national government that organized it, thought that it would be so big. And the best of all: not a single incident, not violence, not thefts, nothing. 2 million people together and all of them happy.

    This is a brilliant way to celebrate a vibrant country :)

    Why? It saves your company money. This way they have to pay me for the holiday.

    because if I'm hiring someone to start on a specific date I'd assume it's because I need someone to fill that gap as of that date and I couldn't function without someone in that role. Not that I have any idea what your job is :D

    his round 2 opponent was Chela, and he made it look harder than he needed to :D

    I am sure Amy can tell you ;)

  • Journeyer28/05/2010 at 13:26

    oh, this is round 3, then? still, a very tough draw for Andy - and I don't like him! ;)

  • Amy28/05/2010 at 13:28

    I adore Marcos so I reeeally want him to win. I think he is the smiliest person in tennis and that makes me happy :D

    You need to do an Amy's Rankings for tennis.

  • Amy28/05/2010 at 13:34

    You need to do an Amy's Rankings for tennis.

    ooooooh. I'd be a little biased though, Roger would always be winning.

    Marcos would be up there. So smiley!

    and Nole would definitely get points for pretending to be Shakira in the video that she made with Rafa

  • me28/05/2010 at 13:35

    what's happened to jense now?

    he and Jessica have split

    ahh noo. i only have 4 wags bffs on my list as it is

    *is always about me

  • me28/05/2010 at 13:37

    ooooooh. I'd be a little biased though

    and that would be different, how?

    There's no such thing as unbiased...

  • Amy28/05/2010 at 13:38

    and that would be different, how?

    Christine has reasons to justify why Karun is streaking ahead. Mine would be like "because I said so" and "because he's Roger"

    I actually wonder if Rosberg might be getting tetchy...

  • me28/05/2010 at 13:41

    I actually wonder if Rosberg might be getting tetchy...

    why. he's owning him.

  • Journeyer28/05/2010 at 13:42

    Can't see it, bet Schumi announces his re-retirement at Monza

    Why there? It's not a significant venue for him anymore. If it'll happen, it'll be at Hockenheim - with Heidfeld or Vettel taking his place next year. If nothing's announced by then, Schumi will almost definitely stick around next year.

  • Journeyer28/05/2010 at 13:43

    I actually wonder if Rosberg might be getting tetchy...

    why. he's owning him.

    not as of late. i think it's fair to say they're on even terms at the moment.

    I dunno, I was just making an insane prediction really.

  • Amy28/05/2010 at 13:44

    he should do it there just because I'd love to say I saw him retire. Again.

  • Alex Andronov28/05/2010 at 16:10

    and kindle app rules ibooks, by some considerable margin.

    Only because of selection or features? I haven't had a chance to look at both properly yet. But I did love buying a book on the kindle app ( I didn't mind being chucked out to the web).

    earlier in the comments. assume you know though:

    Yeah but as Lulu already publishes my book I can just do it with them for free. Which is pretty handy. You won't be able to buy it in the uk but there you go!

    how could i make enter post the comment, without killing the line-break functionality?

    Yeah but as Lulu already publishes my book I can just do it with them for free. Which is pretty handy. You won't be able to buy it in the uk but there you go!

    The handy part is they will put it on the Kindle, Sony thing and the hard copy and deal with them all and pay me once for it. Annoyingly important because of course I am earning money in the US and they charge you tax on it at emergency rates because they don't know who you are.

    it supports buzz? didn't know that.

    they need to diversify to survive i would guess. a client owned by twitter won't support facebook and an official facebook client won't let you tweet. tweetdeck can do it all.

    as bloated as it makes the code, i can see why they'd do it.

    here's an IE6 theory i hadn't considered:

    Rather than using a secure browser and creating corporate—or firewall—policies to block unwanted time-wasting sites, companies are depending on the browser's increasing obsolescence to render the sites unusable. This allows IT managers to keep users out of YouTube.

    I'm not sure the inventor did, unless you count Sony doing the first mass-production of the transistor without securing a patent. Come to think of it, maybe it was for the best for the rest of the world because it's difficult to see how the technology would have spread so far, so fast, had it been patented to any one corporation.

    I think this is like the thing Joe said about Bernie. This is the magician bit where they are saying one thing but what they want is something else. The idea that dropping Friday's will allow them to do more races is nonsense. If you are going to a track the way F1 teams do what is the cost of running two FP sessions on a Friday? Next to nothing. How much does it cost to ship a hundred people and 50 -100 tons of equipment to an additional race? Millions.

    I think the teams are looking to get some in season testing and will carry on with Friday running. If the race meeting is cut to two days people who put on races are going to look for a discount from Bernie and we all know that will never happen

    Crazy theory of the day, Taku Sato I guess has Lotus backing. I'm under the feeling Jarno Trulli won't be going further than the end of the season. So, Sato for Lotus 2011.
