I don’t really have any useful information for you in this post. I just wanted to take a moment and kind of rewind through this past week in my world of technology.

Last Saturday I got a new iMac. I kind of prefaced this with my Switching to Mac - Prologue post, and I’m hoping to continue that saga with tales of valor, struggle, and adventure. Barring that, I’ll just talk about how I chose which Mac to buy, my experiences with it so far, and what I’m hoping for in the future.

Macworld 2009 was this week, with the Apple Keynote on Tuesday. I kept up with it a little bit during the day, mostly through Twitter. I have to say, I’m glad I didn’t invest more interest and anticipation into it. It was a big let-down, in my humble opinion, considering all the hype about new Mac Minis, the iPhone Nano, and such. Some of those rumors seemed pretty feasible, but alas, still no official word from Apple. I was hoping to write up a post about the Keynote, but it got pushed onto the back burner before I could make much progress on it, and by the time I could get to it, it was Thursday and the moment had passed.

CES was also this week, and I don’t really have much to say about it. There aren’t really any other gadgets besides the ones I have (iPhone and iMac) that I need, or even really have a personal interest in, but I will probably keep an eye on the Palm Pre. It made a pretty big splash at the show, and sounds like it’s going to be a solid competitor in the ever-evolving smart phone market. I wish Wil Wheaton was still doing InDigital on Revision3; I always enjoyed his gadget reviews, especially when they covered events like CES and E3.

This past week also saw a 50% increase in my number of Twitter followers, particularly over a ~24 hour period. I’m still not quite sure why, but I’m not really complaining. I’ve met some interesting people, and my Twitter stream is richer for it. I keep telling myself that I need to get out and follow some more tech-minded people, people who might find even a tiny nugget of value in Astro-Geek:3000, but I never seem to be able to take the time.

Between work, school, children, and sleep, I need to find some way to cram blogging, marketing, development, and World of Warcraft into about 3-4 hours of free time a night. And I wonder why I don’t get enough sleep. No wait… I know why I don’t get enough sleep; I wonder why I do this to myself.

For next week, I’ve got some ideas lined up for posts. Hopefully I can get those written up in a timely manner. I’m always on the lookout for ideas, but also for like-minded blogs, forums, and other sites that I can read and interact with. If you have such a site, or know of one, I’d appreciate a link. Likewise, if you were able to get even a little bit of value from my posts, please consider sharing a link on Reddit, Digg, or your own site, maybe Stumble it up, or whatever your social site of choice may be. Oh, and don’t be afraid to leave comments!

Thanks for reading and hope to see you again.
