apple geeking

our design guys are glued to their monitor screens, watching the webcast of MacWorld's Keynote (aka, steve jobs in the turtleneck talking about new shtuff). yeah, of course i got sucked in. mmmm... new powerbook (17" screen, less than an inch thick -- but what i really thought was cool was the ambient lighting). sometimes i find the keynote depressing, cuz it always one-ups what you've got sitting on your desktop real time. and c'mon. you can't update everything every year.

and though a 17" monitor would be sweet (as would the G4 and the superdrive and all the rest) i really like my little ibook (even though it gave me the flashing questionmark this weekend).

so instead i've got my sites on an iPod.

kristin became Employee of the Year on friday night at our work party. no one else could even come close to deserving it, with all the tireless days and nights little miss kb put into wa last year. the coolest part was, not only does she get her little award, the company also got her an iPod. engraved even! very cool. we can have matching iPods. :)
