A Stone's Throw

Wow, the iPad is coming soon and it does a TON of amazing things that your iPhone, Macbook, and my Kindle does…all in a way that only Apple can produce.  Going to have to save up my pennies for one of these!

So is it good for Amazon or not? Here is a good article by David Camoy that might shed some light on this new war that Jobs is waging against Amazon’s eBook empire.

Apple – iPad – The best way to experience the web, email, & photos.

Ok, so I have been totally enamored by Guy Kawasaki’s blog and twitter.  I have read some of his books and his blogs for several years now, but the other day I listened to an interview of him on the Catalyst Leadership Podcast and became really interested in what he is doing.

He is a former Apple Fellow, “Mac Evangelist,” software developer, and entreprenuer.  Read more about him in this well written bio.

So here is where it gets interesting.  He has started this thing called “Alltop.”  Basically, it is like an “online magazine rack.”  Go check it out and begin searching all of your favorite topics…and maybe find some new topics you are interested in!  Actually, there is a whole topic on just BACON–what?  Come to find out, there are who blogs and websites dedicated to the greatness of bacon!

Here is where it gets even crazier!  There is an app for the iPhone called “Pocket Bacon!”  Check it out.  Wow, there is some amazing passion…all for bacon!  That is amazing!

Enjoy!

The Mac is back, baby! Ryan Hunter, our awesome IT guy at Forest Park saved my computer from having to be sent off to get a new hard drive! He did some sort of magic on this baby! He recovered all of my data, wiped the hard drive clean, and put it all back just like new! Thanks to this awesome application built into MacOS called Time Machine, I was able to get all of my documents and only missed about a weeks worth of work. . . pretty sweet.

Moral of the story. . . well two . . . 1. “You don’t know what you’ve got, til it’s gone” (sung in an 80s style Hair band kind of way!) and 2. Backup, Backup, and Backup again! Go ahead, spend the extra money to get an external hard drive and back up your data–often!

Thanks again Ryan! You are the man!
