OK, OK, I’ll make a post

I’ve been busy.  The WIU computer store, uTech, is up and running.  We opened August 21, and so far we’ve had almost $90,000 in revenues.  ”Profits” TBD.  When you start a business you only have to work half a day.  Which 12 hour shift do you want?

In my “spare time” I’ve been studying for the 10.5 Leopard ACSA exams.  I’m halfway there right now, and I hope to have all four exams completed by December 15th.

Oh yeah. Dean Roberts Photography is up and running also.  My portable studio, complete with diffusers, reflectors, light stand, backdrops, tripods, etc, are ready to go.  More on that later.

MobileMe Goes Live Tomorrow!

Apple has announced that MobileMe, the replacement for dot Mac, goes live starting at 1201 am Pacific Time on July 10.  That’s late night tomorrow folks!  I’ll be awake and reading the first reports on using the new MobileMe.

Is Apple Punishing Rogers over iPhone Plans?

Rumor on the street has it that Apple is going to short change Rogers on iPhones.  Apparently Rogers wants to price their plans beyond what Apple feels is reasonable.  How far can Jobs go?  I recall that Steve Jobs said that the iPhones themselves would be priced the same for everyone, with a price of $199 or equivalent for the 8GB and $299 for the 16GB.

Prepare for dot Mac to Mobile Me

Mobile Me is just around the corner.  If you haven’t realized it, today is the last day to sync your Safari bookmarks with dot Mac.  be warned.

if you don’t plan to update any of your dot Mac pages before the weekend, I suggest you create a local backup immediately.  You’ll still be able to edit your pages if the dot Mac to Mobile Me transition has problems.  Will there be problems?  We hope not, but i’ts best be prepared.
