Craig's Musings

So little time! Macworld was a great launch for the Office for Mac team. We had a full house at our A Day at the Office event, we got a nice nod in the keynote (a brief thanks from Steve and then woven into the MacBook Air introduction), we had a way cool party at the Warfield with Devo, the blogger lounge seemed to be appreciated and was well used the entire show, and our booth kicked ass (of course, I'm biased ).

If I had to pick a highlight for the week, though (and it's tough), it was Macworld Live! with David Pogue. It is a funny highlight for me to pick given how much I stress before public speaking events, but once the time was there and I was actually talking to David, it was great - I really enjoyed our conversation.

Lots of cool stuff at the keynote - I'm excited to check out the new AppleTV interface and I'm really jazzed about the new iPhone update that lets me clean up my home screen. The new MacBook Air is a way cool achievement and a thing of beauty, although to be honest, I'm likely to trade my MacBook in for tricked out MacBook Pro - my poor MacBook already screams in consternation every time I run Civ 4 on it, never mind more demanding games. Keeping score, I got 4 out of 10 things in my keynote wishlist, which ain't bad. Still holding out for a 3G iPhone!

On an unrelated note, on Friday when I got back from Macworld I swung by the AT&T store and upgraded my Samsung Blackjack to a Blackjack II and it kicks some serious ass - but more on that for another post.
