Well, they say the best laid plans… I ran into a bit of trouble today with getting my Apple keynote summary out on the podcast feed. Most of this comes down to some mistakes on my part with setting recording levels. Another factor is the extreme slowness of my G4 iBook in encoding the audio. I just finished editing now at 5:30 PM PST and I need to bet at some events, meetings and parties starting at 6:00. The good news is, the show IS still coming. Hang in there and I will try to get it in your feeds before the morning. Until then here are my thoughts:

1) WOW
2) I can’t believe there is nothing for me to buy at the Apple Store.
3) Wish I could have seen SOME of Leopard.
4) Where is the Octo Mac?
5) Pre-ordering my AppleTV tonight. Yes!!!!
6) iPhone is amazing. The UI is truly revolutionary and it seems to be everything you would expect from Apple in a phone. I think it costs a bit too much, especially when you add on the 2-year service contract.

More to come, stay tuned.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Special edition of the MacCast where we discuss Apple’s design history. This is the first in what I hope may become a series I do with my good friend Victor Cajiao from Typical Mac User and Immigration Tales. Victor and I take a look at how Apple’s ideas about design began and how their design language and philosophy shaped their products through the years. It was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

A podcast about all things Macintosh. For Mac geeks, by Mac geeks. Special edition of the MacCast. I was lucky enough to secure an interview with c|net’s podcast diva Veronica Belmont. She took time from her busy schedule to talk with us about her recent nomination by Maccast listeners to become the successor to Justin Long as the next “Mac Guy”. In addition, we discuss her passion for Macs, gadgets, technology and gaming. I ask her how she got into all this tech stuff any way, and we talk in general about women in technology. Of course we finish it up by taking a look inside Veronica’s Applications folder and pull out some of her essential Mac apps. I also asked her about what she has going on in the new year. It was a great interview and I want to thank Veronica for agreeing to come on.

Happy Holidays and enjoy the show.

I was recently invited to sit down with one of my listeners who is also a podcaster. Laurence Anderson and Douglas Bell do a show called the Previewcast. Larry wasn’t able to make the recording, but Doug and I had a nice time chatting about Apple and Macs among other things. The Previewcast recently received one of the infamous Apple legal letters because of some images used in their album art. The story made for a fun start to our conversation. Things went on from there and I had a great time. If you want to take a listen the show was just posted up on the site. Enjoy.
