Fanboy's Night Out
Nerd's Mecca came to Sydney recently, and it was good. The Apple Stores are renowned for being as well-designed as their products, and even with their reputation, I was still pleasantly shocked by how amazing the store is. It's big, but it doesn't sprawl; everything is immaculately detailed and it hits the perfect sweet spot between refined and industrial.
There were thousands of people lined up shortly before it opened. I decided to skip it and come back later. I missed out on a t-shirt but at least I didn't have to queue in the rain. Apple were thoughtful enough to distribute umbrellas to the crowd, which I thought was an inspired little touch on the affair.
I took a few photos (as did everyone else that night) and even made a little video on one of the MacBooks they had on display. Sorry about the nostril-shot.

Nerd.
Did you at least get me a postcard from the opening?
