Post-MacWorld Write-Up

Started by banane · 10 months ago

It’s not even over, though it’s over for me! Just don’t have the stamina anymore- and I’m so new to owning a Mac (2 months, now). These are random notes I wrote while walking around the exhibit floors yesterday.

    OK, you go to a conference in San Francisco, and you eat at the conference food kiosks. Why? Why? This is the land of good food!

    I was shopping to purchase, but honestly? 20-25% off isn't enough to get me THAT excited. Hit 40%, and you got me. Apparently, that's my magic number.

    also, that floating iPhone made me think of the Mona Lisa display at the Lourve. Too many people, clamoring to see too little of a thing. The setup alone made me do a 180.

    The dark side, you are such a geek. Yeah I saw some sweet laptop bags too. I took a photo to submit to Popgadget for Women - but for some reason (too much partying) haven't gotten around to it! You're right re: macworld deals, not that hot.

    ugh. I'm apparently not geek enough. Realized this weekend that I'd created a service-disruption trifecta: reconfig'd my home wifi, transfered my domain reg/hosting and went mac AT THE SAME TIME.

    now, nothing works. webpage down, ftp not connecting, email bouncing 'fatal error'. Gah!
