Good morning! Hey guys, gals and all other bloggers. I was just doing some browsing of the nets and found out there is going to be a WordCamp meeting in Frisco, Tx. I was just wondering if any of you other Flash bloggers in the area would be attending! I am thinking about going. But I'm not sure I can make the whole event due to previous plans. Are you going? I'd love to know if so! Ping me on Twitter or just comment below! Thanks!
Wicked! The guys at wired.com and Matthew Hurst from MS Live Labs put together a kick ass flash piece to show you how our blogs work and get the posts to new vistors like YOU hopefully. Its kinda fun to see in a graphic! Go on over wired.com and check out the piece!
As you all know its macworld time! I'm going to keep my nose in gizmodo and engadget to try and keep up. More news to come!
3, 2, 1... GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Update:
Shewww... well its all over and I'm installing the new iPhone firware as I post this! Can't wait to play with the new features. I hope that it will store my login to gmail now! I'm sick and tired of having to login like 60 times a day to check my mail on there. Ok not that much but still. Bleh!
What do we think? We got a new Macbook, the Macbook Air, and also Time Capsule which I cannot wait to get my hands on one. I hate having to have my notebook plugged into a USB to be backing it up with Time Machine. I know, I know pick your battles but damn it is 2008 let's start using all this great technology we have available! Oh and the new Apple TV and the new movie rental deal which sounds ok. New apps for the iPod Touch thats a great addition to that product. Glad they decided on that. But most of all I can't wait to start using the iPhone 1.1.3 updated phone. Since I have one it will affect me the most right away.
Well I guess that's it for now. I'll try and post some more as news unveils today and people get their hands on some of these products.
Oh and last thing? NO CD DRIVE on the macbook air?!?!? WTF? That's going to be something to see how people like that! I mean really? Remote disc drive? Can an office have like 10 machines setup to use one disc drive then? To weird for me right now. But I am glad to see them add the gesture pad. Can you make that a firmware update to my macbook pro? please?!?!?!
Check out the Apple MacBook Air commercial also. Lots of Fun!
Ok so as you can tell the blog has taken on a new look and most likely will do so again in the near future. The current look is 'vader' from K2 for now. But I'm hoping to get time tonight to at least work on the header! But for now, thanks k2 for the improvement!
Also this weekend I spent about 2 hours putting together a really simple coming soon page for projectx4.com that shows off some of the work I have been doing the past two years. Its nothing special but at least there is something new up. I hope over the next few months to get a new site up. But I haven't set any deadlines for myself yet since i'm not totally sold on the design I have built so far.
While adding K2 to my blog I also setup some more stuff for keeping those pesky spammers away so you may notice that as well. And the blog roll keeps getting bigger also as you will notice some new additions over there. Anyway thanks for visiting a reading.
And last but not least I bought a PRO account at flickr! w00t! mostly cause they limit you from making only three set with the standard free account? Thats what suckered me in. sigh* I mean come on 3 sets! Pretty weak. Anyway I added some photos of my home and work offices. I will post more soon but you can at least you can see all the pretty macs I get to work on!

Ping back comments?
Are these healthy? I am noticing a lot of these in my comments waiting to be moderated in Akismet. I notice some of you bloggers let them float around in your comments and others don't.
Since I am fairly new to the blogging world I wasn't really sure what these were doing. So I followed the link in one and realized it was more or less other blogs regurgitating my posts for thier content. Some of the pingpacks relink back to my blog which can't hurt in search engine ranking. But what's the real motivation? What's you guys thoughts? I mean I am glad to share the news but is it crippling me in anyway that I am not seeing?
