site news: January 2008 Archives

Hello folks,

I know ya'll have noticed the dearth of content this month, and I apologise to all of you about that. Those who are still here: I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Some thanks goes out to my guest writer Clarke for his contributions during my vacation.

The excuse? My writing for class ramped up significantly this semester (combined with my writing at Homotron), and so I had to enact a self-imposed hiatus from this blog as it neither A) pays the bills or B) gets me a good grade. I hope you will understand why I had to do it.

However, I've established my rhythm again and so now I'm prepared to make a comeback, and boy do I have a long list of links ready to burst! I may have not been writing here, but my pack rat tendencies still collected interesting things from all over the tubes.

So without further ado: I'm BACK!

I have written a four part series of articles entitled "The State of the Mac Nation 2008" over on Homotron.net where I reviewed everything Apple related that happened in 2007, complete with my insights and conjectures on how some of the new stuff (like the iPhone) came about. I worked pretty hard on this series of articles and I think they turned out pretty good. A lot of people who've read them have given me kudos for them. Here's the links:

The State of the Mac Nation 2008, Part 1: Desktops, Laptops, & Professional Hardware
The State of the Mac Nation 2008, Part 2: iPod + iPhone
The State of the Mac Nation 2008, Part 3: iTunes + Other Apple Software
The State of the Mac Nation 2008, Part 4: Macworld Keynote Rumours and Predictions

And tomorrow (Tuesday, January 15) I'll be doing a live post with updates and commentary during Steve Jobs's keynote starting at 12PM. Stay tuned at Homotron.net if you want to read my commentary!

I'm so excited!

(Coincidentally, this series of articles is precisely why I've been absent from theInput during the last few days)
