A great link from Micki

I was surfing my blogs today and found this link from Mickipedia. It’s a great article about how vloggers and video on the internet are really taking off and starting to get the attention of larger media companies. Be sure to check out the article and Micki’s blog.

Don’t I Know You from the Internet?
Some performers are parlaying online celebrity into deals with big media. Soon they may be able to just stick to the Web.

Weekend Recap 10/29/06

An apology from me, a sister in law from Texas, a trip to the emergency room, a never ending tv show, and Halloween.

The Phone Call

It was about 10:30PM and I got a phone call from my Brother in law Mike that he needed my help…

Poker night at the Fischer’s

It’s Saturday night which is poker night and we’re playing at the Fischer residence.

IE 7.0 vs FireFox 2.0

I got a chance to play with these two updates and wanted to share my thoughts on the new stuff as well as ask everyone out there a very important question.

A day with a Mac

So I’m in a training class this week learning High Speed Internet Technical Support and obviously there are going to be people out there that have all kinds of operating systems. One of them obviously being Mac OS. Today was Mac day. They have two brand spanking new iMacs which to be honest are pretty fraking sweet. I don’t use a Mac, not really around anyone who does, and haven’t used one in about 6 years. So when I pull up to this thing I was pretty impressed. First thoughts, it’s just a thick LCD panel; that’s it. They took the iMac which used to look like a 17 inch tv that came straight out of Candy Land and slammed it into a 2 inch display; kick ass. Now I’ve seen Mac OS X before and “played” with it but l was still amazed.

Now I wouldn’t mind owning a MacBook, but it raises lots of questions, mostly illegal ones, but I am due for a new laptop. When the time comes I’ll look a bit deeper into the dark side. Perhaps find someone who owns one and do some of my daily activities with it. For now I’ll stick with my virus prone, spreadsheet murderin, suit and tie PC.
