Newton Would Understand...

I openly admit to being an Apple fanatic.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, on to Macworld. Macworld is a well-known bi-annual trade show showcasing Apple-related products. It's common appeal comes from Steve Jobs' keynote addresses, in which he reveals new and exciting Apple products. This year's keynote focused on new Intel-based macs and numerous software updates, both of which were pretty underwhelming compared to, say, the introduction of the iMac in 1998 or the every-popular iPod in 2001.


However, one particular announcement caught my attention. iWeb, a new application bundled with iLife (which includes iTunes, Garageband, etc.) that vastly improves the development capabilities of ".Mac", an Apple web service moderately comparable to MSN. Being an avid .Mac member, I quickly looked into iWeb's features. Apparently, the app will allow me to incorperate my blog directly into my personal website (homepage.mac.com/rolawson). Also, it makes podcasting VERY easy. It has been suggested that I should start podcasting, and I didn't really consider that suggestion until now. Podcasting seems fun, interesting, and very useful, so now, I'm planning on starting as soon as I get back to Cal.

Till then! ;)
