iPhone 4 in London

Here is the Apple Store on Regent Street in London. This was July 29th. The iPhone 4 has been out for a while now.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Glare at the complete inefficiency of the Apple Store. These people are not lining in up to BUY an iPhone. They've preordered it. They're lining up to buy something they've already decided.

You would think that these idiots would have something easy to set up wouldn't you? Nope. Completely not.

Anyways, my roommate and I decided not to be idiots. We went to Soho and went for some drinks and yakitori afterwards.

Drumming on the Island

We started our island adventure learning to play the djembe, which is a drum that is very popular in west Africa. Hitting the middle of the drum creates a low sound and hitting the edge of the drum creates a high sound. The lesson involved us copying the rhythms the teacher created and we ended the lesson with a song: "I like peanut butter, I like jam" which translates to [low low highhighhighhigh low low high] on the drums. Our palms were stinging by the end of the 10 minute lesson. I have new respect for drummers now.
