well, duh. Best bumper sticker ever.

Macworld, CES double-booked for 2007 | CNET News.com

Whaaaa?? Now what am I going to do?? Seriously, a major bummer. And this is going to affect Macworld in the worst kind of way. They can’t compare the the sheer numbers of CES.

Ok, well I finally registered my name. veronicabelmont.com is live, and leads, uh, here. So basically I’m just doing it to prevent not being able to get it at a later time. Makes sense, right?

Working on getting someone to host it for me, and then I’ll probably get off of Blogger. I wonder if there’s a way I can archive all my blogger entries and put them on the new site? Any ideas? Oh… maybe I’ll do iWeb. Looks pretty easy, and it would work so well with all the other programs I already use. Charlie and I have decided to try the new podcasting studio in GarageBand this weekend for Tired Thumbs. Maybe we’ll get some decent audio quality for once!

In other news, I feel like I’m trapped in a freakin’ cage. I want to go out so badly. I know it’s not a good idea, but I hate just sitting around where I know there’s so much going on.

So, as you may have heard, Apple has released the first MacIntel into the world. The new iMacs, available today, are powered by the Intel Core Duo chip. But the crowning glory of the event was the MacBook Pro, the beautiful and fast new notebook. Finally! I’ve been waiting forever for them to make the announcement, and in Febuary my dreams will become a reality. I got so excited that I gave myself an ulcer.

Wait, what?

Yes, it’s true. I was wisked from the Macworld Expo off to the hospital, where I sat for 5.5 hours, first in excruciating pain, and then in a stupor. My stomach has been weird for weeks, as you all know, but last night it really got out of control. And this morning… well, I did everything I could to ignore it for the keynote, but Molly finally stuck me in a cab with $20 in my hand and sent me to St. Francis.

My boss came to the hospital, and told me to not come in tomorrow. I am crushed. Macworld is my favorite thing. I’m going to try to go anyway tomorrow, hopefully in time for the podcast. I’m so depressed. It hurts to eat a cracker. And I’m going to miss all the good Apple schwag. UUUGGHH.

Anyhow. I’m totally buying a MacBook Pro (the $2499 version, natch) come Feb. Got a few weeks to save! I want your opinions, people! Leave comments.
