New Mac Pro

I’ve been using a new Mac Pro, with Intel’s 64-bit Core micro-architecture, for about a month now. It took me a long weekend to get everything migrated from my G4 17″ PowerBook and it has been well worth the effort.

The speed, reliability and expandability of the new system has been a major upgrade and has increased my overall productivity.

If you have been considering a new Mac Pro or upgrading to any of the Intel-based Macs, I strongly recommend that you do so. The major speed bump provided by Intel’s processor has truly solidified Apple’s OS X as the “Best of Breed” user experience available to the mass market right now.

I will review some new applications soon. Having extra horsepower on my primary platform has allowed me to play with many new applications and some of them have turned out to be excellent.

Web 2.0 and New Media

For the past few months, I have been contributing to a project called Micro Media Corp. Richard MacManus from Read/Write Web is a well-respected blogger who covers a wide range of emerging technology topics and The Rights Marketing Company co-run this corporate blogging project.

Richard and my other teammates (Scott Karp, Taewoo Danny Kim, David Stoughton, Steve O’Hear, Stephen Danelutti and Rudy De Waele) contribute 3 blog bulletins weekly and cover a wide range of interesting topics. Micro Media also produces related podcasts (…which I’ve not had the pleasure to join in on as of yet…..).

It has been a great deal of challenging fun to keep up with these guys on some of the hottest topics on the web today. I try to work hard building my writing skills and there is no better way to do so than writing about the very technology I use and love.

Thanks to Richard and his group for the opportunity.

If your organization is looking for cutting edge commentary from some folks who are “out in the trenches” both innovating and using the latest technology, contact Richard and let him know.
