The Mac Mini Media Center Finally Happened
Engadget is live blogging Steve Jobs’ keynote, where literally minutes ago he announced the Mac Mini as a media center device, complete with included remote control. It’s now running the Intel processor (both single and dual core versions), and the coreduo version claims a more than 5x improvement in speed.
Wow, that’s one hell of a compelling product.
Four Things
I typically steer as far clear of this type of email as possible - you know the ones, where you put in your eye colour, your sock colour, and your favourite movie, then forward it around and try to get you friends to do the same? After playing along for at least 20 versions of it, I’ve given up.
But this is a little different. There’s a “Four Things” meme going around the blogosphere, and while I had noticed it, I hadn’t been tagged to do one, so I hadn’t really given it much thought. Then I got tagged by Marc Orchant.
If there’s anyone that I’d have trouble letting down on something like this, it’s Marc. And anyway, it turned out to be fun. Here goes:

Pirillo, Scoble and me at NorthernVoice
I happened across this photo on Flickr of the Windows Vista demo that Robert Scoble gave at NorthernVoice, with help from Chris Pirillo. It shows Pirillo, Scoble and me at the table.
