thus is the mob I just escaped while trying to pick up my badge just
after the keynote!
craziness!
a little bit crazy in here
just trying to pick up my badge… nobody knows where the line begins
on the train in…
here's a cool shot I snapped from the train while watching the live
blog of the keynote with my iPhone.
the motion of the train seems to have skewed this pic in a very cool
way!
hello from Macworld!
hello to my fellow mac travelers… I'm going to be at Macworld San
Francisco for the next two days and thought you might like to follow
along.
it's a journey a long time in the making for me so I want to make the
best of it and remember as much as possible, so I'll be blogging my
discoveries and experiences as they happen so you can share with me
the excitement.
as I write this I'm waiting in Palo Alto for the train to SF. though
it is cold and foggy, my spirits are bright and clear. if you're a
SERIOUS mac fan you are watching one of the many liveblogs of the
keynote right now as I type this. Since I didn't spring the $250 for
the keynote ticket, the one I'm using is the iPhone formatted version
at macrumorslive.com
after the keynote is over, the fun begins. bookmark my maccog blog and
check back for updates over the next two days to get pictures and
commentary on the best booths I find. better yet, subscribe to my RSS
feed with apple mail or safari and leave lots of comments for me to
let me know what you think and that you're paying attention!

WiMAX… would be very cool to have.
This gets me excited about the upcoming maybe-announcement by Apple of the MacBook Mini… I would love to have a cutting edge new standard like WiMax on my laptop!

here I come, Macworld!
Having the best airport salad EVER in the Bob Hope Burbank airport and
getting psyched for the future being bright 🙂
this is going to be the first industry tradeshow I've been to since
I've stopped collecting comics! and that was a long time ago for this
old man!
How to Manage Your Passwords
A Digital Life is rich with lots of great things, but keeping track of the many many passwords you’ve set up over the years is not one of the greatest.
This article on a cool new search engine called Mahalo.com will provide some great tips and help you weigh the pros and cons related to managing this lifelong challenge…
http://www.mahalo.com/How_to_Manage_Your_Passwords
If you choose the password management software route, I would suggest most people just need to learn how to use Keychain Access (in the Utilities folder of every mac) or 1password, a great third party solution has even more features, and is part of the software package deal called MacHeist which you should check out if you’re at all into extending the usefulness of your computer with 3rd party software… this is a great deal…

oh, the joy of the iPhone…
If you’re reading this, it’s because I know you to be either an iPhone owner, and iPhone desire-er, or an iPhone resist-er-soon-to-be-owner.
Here’s an excerpt of Stephen Fry’s new blog/column about technology. If you guys don’t know, Stephen Fry is a great British comedian who is also a tech head and writes a column for The Guardian. I love his stuff and thought I would share this one… which pretty much echoes my own sentiments with my new favorite gadget, the iPhone…
Beauty. Charm. Delight. Excitement. Ooh. Aah. Wow! Let me at it.
In the end the iPhone is like some glorious early-60s sports car. Not as practical, reliable, economical, sensible or roomy as a family saloon but oh, the joy. The jouissance as Roland Barthes liked to say. What it does, it does supremely well, that what it does not do seems laughably irrelevant.
The iPhone is a digital experience in the literal sense of the word. The user’s digits roam, stroke, tweak, tweeze, pinch, probe, slide, swipe and tap across the glass screen forging a relationship with the device that is like no other.
It’s so true. Ask anybody who has one. Or get one. Or just read this article by Stephen Fry:
yours truly,

PS: in addition to being an email BCCd to 62 people I know who might be interested, this is a blog post. If you’re reading it as an email, you might want to check out the maccog blog where it will live forever alongside lots of other neat things i’ve posted…
