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 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!

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.
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:
I originally composed this list for my own edification and never thought it would do anything other than allow me to check off the list as time goes on and Apple puts in my desired features…. assuming they take my sage advice.
Sometimes bad companies can get away with harming customers for a
long time without getting caught. Businesses that rely on one-off
relationships especially.
It's extremely stupid to burn a bridge with anyone when you're in my
business because it's so repeat and referral driven. However, business
models like spa promotions can thrive for quite a while before
awareness reaches the level it needs to for people to avoid being
victimized…. Case in point: BDBG Promotions and Spa Society owned
and run by Elizabeth Martin.
While I have my own stories to tell about this company and this
person, I'm here to promote an effort to expose a bad company in the
interest of protecting the future consumer.
Not all spa promotion companies are crooked. One of those (in which
I hold personal interest) is The Eleanor Group. Once upon a time BDBG
Promotions filed a vicious, slanderous and frivolous lawsuit against
The Eleanor Group. It has survived, even thrived because it stood up
against Elizabeth Martin and BDBG and won in court… (though it was
easy because the plaintiff didn't even show up to court for the trial)
