My latest TUAW Post

This is the most recent one concerning predictions for the upcoming Keynote. Also, I’ve got a few pics up over at the site as well so take a look. Of course, expect a crap load more pics, video and even some writing over the next few days.

Keynote tomorrow! Something is in the air.

Next Stop Macworld Expo in San Francisco

I’ll be going up to San Francisco on Sunday to cover the big Macworld Expo gathering of the faithful all week for TUAW (thank you TUAW parent company AOL for sending me). Consequently, I’ll be posting here less next week.

However, if you just can’t get enough of me, check out the multiple ways in which you can keep up with my adventures, and those of my TUAW colleges, at Macworld as we bring you all the exciting news and info this year.

Here’s some of the best ways:

The Unofficial Apple Weblog Website

Posts Tagged with the Macworld Tag at the TUAW Website

Our TUAW Twitter Feed (you do Twitter, don’t you?)

Our TUAW Macworld RSS Feed

My TUAW Articles – Stuff just from me (the best part, of course)

And, my Twitter feed is right there to the right so I will be posting to it as much as I can.

That a pretty good start. If you can’t get enough Macworld info using these various methods, you’re not trying hard enough. Also, be sure to check out our predictions of what Steve Jobs will announce at this year’s keynote. There’s some good ones there and if even half of them come true, it should make for an exciting keynote not to be missed.

And, if you are attending Macworld this year, be sure to say hello. We’ll be the ones running around shooting video, taking photos, interviewing celebs and booth babes and loving every minute of the Macworld experience.

See you in San Francisco.

Fingers Crossed

I really hope Apple announces a new subnotebook at Macworld. And I don’t mind if it looks a little something like this:

RIP: Netscape Navigator (1994 – 2008)

Starting in February 2008, current owner AOL will no longer support what was once one of the most popular web browsers of them all: Netscape Navigator. The browser will now be relegated to the anals of web history. Although, surely at some future date, Netscape Navigator will be inducted into the as-yet unrealized “Web Hall of Fame” located, one might assume, somewhere in Silicon Valley.

Does 1994 really seem that long ago? I guess it was — especially in technology years. Things do change rather quickly, don’t they?

Powerful Photographs

These were taken by New York Times photographer John Moore before and during the assignation of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. All I can say about them is “wow.”

One Very Expensive Crapper

And people think NASA and the federal government spend too much money on things. How about a $75,000 toilet? Fancy. Think this is crazy? Blame this guy for making it.

Marvel Launches Digital Comics

Apparently, Marvel has decided to enter the 21st Century and is now offering comics online for you to read. Quite a few titles to choose from as well. What’s the catch? Well, it will cost you a monthly fee of $5.00 / month if you pay upfront or $10.00 / month if you opt to pay every month.

Not bad I guess as I spend way more than that on comics in a month anyway. However, I do love the feel of the actual pages so I think for the time being — even though this is pretty cool and is probably the way things are going to go — I think I’ll stick to reading comics the old fashioned way. Although, ten bucks a month really isn’t that much . . Decisions, decisions.

Almost Real

Congress passes a law helping to solidify the position of bloggers as “real” journalists. Could be a step in the right direction. Still has to get signed by Mr. Bush but perhaps it will. We’ll see.

Pops

It’s hard, but in the end I guess I’ll manage it. What else can you do but try to get on with life even if you don’t really want to? After all, life happens even if you’re not ready for it. So, may as well try to get ready for it, right?

Or, at the very least, try your best. A wise man once told me “Do the best with what you’ve got.” Good advice.

Take a Number

You know, its sorta funny how life works. Just when things seem to be taking a turn for the better life smacks you in the face so you know who’s in charge. Without going into to much detail, let’s just say that I’m still in the midst of things personal but on the plus side, if there is one, it looks to be a pretty short time now until the hardest part is over.

Although, they say waiting is the hardest part and dammit, whomever said that pretty much had it right. Waiting pretty much sucks but at the moment, that’s all I can do. Wait. So, here I am and here I’ll stay. I just hope it doesn’t take too long — this much waiting is not good for anyone.
