The Big Day!

Well, I'm all packed and finishing off a few last minute emails and chores before setting off to Macworld. It's a fairly long haul from the UK, especially when it's not a direct flight but I should be in San Francisco in about 20 odd hours. I'll be updating the blog hopefully at least once a day but will probably be micro blogging via twitter via the iPhone a lot more. If you want to check on my progress, just follow me on twitter and I'll try and bring you all the latest. Except for the Keynote that is - I'll have my data roaming switched firmly off and I don't believe there is wifi in the hall. I'm sure there'll be lots of other points of access to the keynote info. I'm hoping to take part in an adhoc panel immediately after the Keynote with the other MacLevelTen members and Chuck will be posting the Audio pretty soon after the keynote ends so check out the MacLevelTen site for that. See you across the pond!

I'm in a quandary....

Yes, yes I know I've banged on about Macworld but I'm considering the options for next weeks show. I had planned on just doing a normal screencast, hopefully in advance, so I can just post it whilst I'm away but then I thought, should I be doing something special to mark the trip. Long time viewers may remember I did a short sights and sounds of the show last year. So what do you think? A normal show or something different for next week? I've setup a quick poll on the forum (no membership or login required to vote!) ScreenCastsOnline Forum Poll Your thoughts would be appreciated!

Screencasting 101 Session at Macworld

Scott Bourne has now published the schedule for the full day of sessions for the Podcast Symposium Day at Macworld - Schedule Eighteen (yes count them - eighteen!) "top people in the field" all presenting on various Podcasting topics between 9am and 5pm. Wow! That looks like a pretty intense day and if you're interested in podcasting, looks to be an extremely valuable investment in time and money. I'm scheduled to present around 1pm. It's turning out to be a pretty manic Macworld :-)

Something is bothering me...

With the announcement of the new 8-Core Mac Pro, something is bothering me? So the top end machine is this hugely impressive monster of a machine with oodles of power and lots of expansion potential. However, if you don't need that sort of horsepower (and expense) what's the alternative? A 20" or 24" iMac with built in video display? Where is the middle ground machine, the one that's going to appeal to the potential switcher who has a decent monitor but wants a reasonably price tower or mini tower system with decent expandability?

Something for next week perhaps? The return of the Cube perhaps? Just a thought!
