Found my camcorder today, I haven’t used it in a while. Since I have a Mac, I ran out and purchased a DV Cable so I could get the moves off of it and into iMovie. My first little movie is below…

This is my crazy goldfish (I think thats what it is) he is about 2 years old now. He likes to move anything and everything in the tank, including picking up the gravel and spitting it out on the side of the tank.

ID and EA Games to the mac http://burm.net/2007/06/11/wwdc-2007-updates-gamers-rejoice-id-and-ea-games-to-the-mac/ http://burm.net/2007/06/11/wwdc-2007-updates-gamers-rejoice-id-and-ea-games-to-the-mac/#comments Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:56:12 +0000 John Burmeister http://burm.net/2007/06/11/wwdc-2007-updates-gamers-rejoice-id-and-ea-games-to-the-mac/

While I do not get to play many games with the limited free time I have, Steve Jobs just announced that EA Games and ID Games have committed to bringing gaming back to the Mac. Sounds like there will be a lot more info out at E3, but there was quite an impressive lineup ahead from EA.

I believe that this is a huge step forward for the mac, and how people are really making the switch from windows.

Just a reminder, if you are a Apple fan, don’t forget the WWDC 2007 Keynote by our favorite fellow Steve Jobs is today.   I am not positive what is going to be announced, I am sure they will be covering the iPhone and Leopard. The keynote starts at 1pm east coast time.

Some places to catch the live keynote coverage:

According to the rumors a new Apple Macbook Pro is due out soon.   I’m hoping it will be updated to the new Intel chipset along with a few other updated features. I have been waiting every since the release of the first Intel Macbook pro for a two button mouse, and I hope this will be part of the update.  Even with the MacPro I have now, I use a two button mouse, and don’t see why they wouldn’t offer that ability on the laptop.  The rumors are as follows:  LED Display, Santa Rosa Intel cpu.  We shall see after WWDC, which is just about a week away.  I’m due for a new laptop, come on Apple, WOW me!

Check the following sites for up to date info: Mac Rumors, Apple Insider as well as the Unofficial Apple Blog.

Sold my Mac mini on eBay, and my new Mac Pro arrived.

Dual 3.0 Intel Xeon’s, and bumped it up to 2 gigs of ram from Crucial. I also dropped in a 10,000 rpm drive as the main boot drive.

Nice job Apple, this thing looks and runs beautiful.
