New Toys from Apple

1. iPod Shuffle - mini-er than the mini...

Smaller than a pack of chew gum... apparently, life is random.

2. Mac mini - life in a lunchbox to go...

eMac's new contender, the Cube resurrected! ... remember that one?

3. iLife05 - consumer media driven by steroids...

More power in iPhoto, IDVD, iTunes 4.7... GarageBand version 2 now supports up to 8 track multi recording, real tiume notation and pitch shifting and iMovie now supports HD! Mad is an understatement.

4. iWorks - replacement for Appleworks...

Bundle of Keynote 2 and Pages (a new document ware) ... same price as iLife05, we'll have to see how this one steps up...

5. Final Cut Express HD ... nuff said...

supports HD as well...

6. Plus a whole lot of stuff on Tiger yet to be released. And the new Jam Pack 4 featuring symphony orchestra instruments and loops...

Or you could set aside approximately 2 hours now and watch the Macworld San Francisco 2005 Keynote Webcast...

Let's make a movie about the things that they find crawling in my brain ...

This piece has a long title because that is exactly what sparked me to jump online ... in the dark. The blinds are closed up leaving only the faint sunset peering through into pretty dark room. Minutes ago, I was reading my old buddy's writings of fiction in his blog. Very gripping stuff. Which has that much intensity to play around into a feature. Apparently it is a private blog, so I am not at liberty here. But I am awed by the imagination of my friend. I like it. Very much indeed. So much that I want to get my hands dirty on the whole linen and seek out the writer I met some months ago. Feel like returning.

So, let's make something out of it, shall we?
