As well as the usual ones (you know - eat less, exercise more, spend more quality time with the family, etc) I'm going to try some resolutions to help me achieve more this year on the work side and be more focused and productive.
Some that spring to mind are:

My 17" MacBook Pro has been behaving very strangely over the last few weeks but only when on battery power. It just seemed to shut itself down with no warning!
Using it tonight, I heard a very strange pop and then 20 minutes later it shut itself down.
When picking it up, I noticed something very strange underneath the MBP. Instead of the usual sleek, perfectly flat surface there was a weird bump.
OMG - The battery had suddenly expanded and started the first stages of transforming itself into the Sydney Opera House. OK - perhaps not that dramatic but still quite a shock!
I thought it was only the 15" batteries that had issues!
Ah well, onto AppleCare tomorrow and hopefully they can ship me a new battery without sending the whole laptop off.
Update - Well I got my MacBook Pro back today (5/1/2007) after it going into my local repair centre under Applecare. Took them a week including the New Year Break so not too bad. I didn't realise how much I'd miss it!
Ah well, just in time for MacWorld!

So it was a little while coming but my interview has now been published on the Scoble Show. This was actually the second take as three quarters through the 1st take, he realised we had no audio! The bit I didn't manage to mention was the success of the sponsorship model when doing sponsored screencasts as vendors are really seeing some benefits in have a whole show about their products as it raises visibility, gives training and reduces support calls. But on the whole, I think it's OK (although I would have done a little bit more editing - Sorry Michael, I knew you're from Denmark - my mind just went blank!). PS I forgot I mentioned the Standard Membership in the Interview but I removed that option several weeks ago so only the Premium Membership option remains - nice and simpleTechnorati Tags: Apple, podcasttools, podcasthosting, Premium Podcasting, Subscription Membership, Subscription Tools, Podcast Expo 2006, Business Podcasting Bible, googlereader, ScreenCasts, mac, ScreenCastsOnline, scoble, scobleshow, podtech, podcast infrastructure, subscription podcast, business podcasting, macsanta, tutorials, osx, MacHeist, RapidWeaver
