CNNMoney lists essential iPhone apps for Holiday Shopping Season. The great unwashed have spoken,

MallMaps

and it’s MallMaps, which actually may have a life after January 6, 2010. These guys created the app, and they swear they love what they do.

The old Owlsley and the XTC ain’t helping, so I still haven’t sussed howto embed video in Word Press, but I loves youse guys ‘n’ gals , so , to celebrate the shopping season, there’s a link below to Steely Dan from Two Against Nature – gosh these guys need to do another great album – their tours in this century have been utterly fabulously kewl – not bad fer a couple ol’ music nerds.

STEELY DAN – BLACK FRIDAY

UPDATE: – BONUS – EVERYTHING MUST GO!

Don’t buy a Kindle, don’t buy a Nook, don’t buy a netbook  – wait – the magic will happen next year – and the wait will have been worth it – why blow your holiday wad on junk, when the kul stuff is just around the corner? And if you can’t afford the Holy tablet (good, you don’t deserve it, do you?), get the friggin’ Chrome netbook. It’s time to let the air out of Ballmer’s tires now, doncha’ think?

Money quote: I’ve got a Dell Mini 9 that I never use because its keyboard is less comfortable than the touch-screen pad on my iPhone.

Next year, Farhad, your wish will come true, have faith!

The rest of you, we know money’s tight and you can’t wait ’til next year, so it’s MacMinis and Nanos for those stockings. And isn’t it time you got Apple TV for your living room?
