Yep. The Mac World Expo has all of us Mac nerds buzzin’ about new Mac-y goodness. I dig the new offerings … and not because they are something that I would buy. They seem more geared to the Windows user that wants Mac but doesn’t want to outlay the cash for one. Switch now, oh Windows user, and come the light that is Apple!

Mac Mini
Not something I would purchase for myself, but I have already had a Mac lusting friend say he would probably get one. His PC bit the dust (shocker) a few months ago and he’s been needing something new. And what better than a Mac mini. He already has the set-up from his old Dell. And he would spend at least $499 just to get a new PC tower. I think this brilliant marketing on Apple’s part. I hope it really takes off.

iPod Shuffle
Another great marketing idea. Targeted at those who want the iPod but don’t want to drop over $250 for the regular or mini version.

iLife and iWork
Of course, these are must for anyone with a Mac.

A – Alphabetizing makes life easier.
B – “Bitter” could a word used to describe me.
C – Consent forms must be signed before you can go on the field trip.
D – DVDs are my dirty little addiction.
E – Everyone tends to tell me their dirty little secrets.
F – Fear is a control tactic.
G – George “Dubya” is still tops on my Shit List.
H – Honk if you love ice cream.
I – I’m in desperate need of a date (or some attention).
J – Japanese horror films have a wonderful “nightmare” quality.
K – Kickin’ back with a beer and a movie is something I really enjoy.
L – Love is a myth, a lie or (quite possibly) both.
M – Metrosexuals are an evil invention of pop culture and the fashion industry.
N – Nightmares can be fun and educational.
O – Owen Hawk needs to be my love slave.
P – Pop Music Stars need to have their vocal cords severed.
Q – Qees are pretty fun little collector’s items.
R – Rainy days are something I look forward to.
S – “Simple” isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
T – Taking the train to NYC is something I never want to do again.
U – UPS delivery men are nowhere near as cute as the FedEx guys (around here anyway).
V – Vintage Gay Porn is way hotter than current industry offerings.
W – Walking (or hiking) in the woods is a good stress reliever.
X – Xylophones are very under-used in modern music.
Y – You can never go home again.
Z – Zippered pants aren’t quite as fun a button-flys.

Take a wild guess who is gonna get so loaded when his bedroom is finished …

I got an e-mail from a very dear friend of mine announcing his wedding plans. How exciting. Jeff and Kelly have been together for quite a while (and have the cutest little boy). They will tie the knot sometime in May. He’s even asked me to be a part of the wedding. I have, of course, said that I would be thrilled to take part.
