I found this photo while doing a Google search for Apple Computer images.

It’s Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in the early stages of Apple Computer.

I absolutely love this photo.

A man just sat down next to me here at Whole Foods with a hideous HP notebook computer. As he organized his lunch, he looked over at my PowerBook G4.

I know what he’s thinking; I saw it in his eyes.

“I want that machine. Why am I using this crappy notebook?”

It’s clear that he doesn’t respect his PC. He has those annoying yellow post-it notes stuck all over the keyboard. And it appears he has some type of sticker or computer label affixed to the keyboard.

Give me a break, man! Computers need more love than this!

Tomorrow I make my radio debut as a Cox Communications spokesperson. It’s a morning drive time show hosted by a man named Jack who plays lite (note the spelling) rock.

I’m nervous and excited at the same time.

Wish me luck.

The calendar may prove that the first day of fall is Friday, but I’m here to tell you I’ve already begun celebrating my favorite (and fairest) of the four seasons.

Here’s why.

• I wore my pink turtleneck to work today.
• I’ve begun drinking hot tea nearly every day (sometimes two cups a day).
• I’m running the heater in my car in the mornings and late at night.
• I decorated my house for Halloween.
• I’m eating Halloween candy like it’s being discontinued.
• I ate my mom’s famous Pizza Breads on Friday, a 30-year-old recipe that’s pure culinary bliss and the perfect fall meal.
• I have a continuous craving for casseroles.

My sister recently completed her second interview with KOCE, the PBS affiliate in Huntington Beach, Calif., for a position in their Marketing/Membership department. She hopes the position would evolve into a TV production job.

Moments after her first interview, Katie called me with the details.

“I realized,” she said, “that I need to be around liberal TV people. That’s just who I am.”

God love her for that.

As such, so am I.

If you’ve tried sending me email to wendy@shaggy-money.flywheelsites.com, you probably received an error message.

In the interim, please contact me at wendytownley@gmail.com

Until next time…

I learned late yesterday that Omaha’s very first Apple Store will officially open it’s gorgeous glass doors on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 10 a.m.

You can bet I will arrive next Saturday at sunrise to ensure I’m one of the first 1,000 Apple fan(atics) to receive a free T-shirt and other goodies.

This just in: Apple has brought back candy-colored iPods. Mr. Jobs also announced a teeny, tiny iPod Shuffle at today’s special event in San Francisco.

How much smaller will the iPod get? The world may never know.

Also: Say hello to iTunes 7.0.
