Blog of Much Holding

Hi all, what with the holidays approaching (and the fact that I am leaving to go out of the country for 12 days for work this Friday), blogging will be light for a while. I will try and get This Week in UX podcast out on schedule, but no promises.

• @jeffzim47 I tried to avoid watching the Dawgs-Gators game and the iMac was a helpful distraction. That one hurt. in reply to jeffzim47 #
• Early verdict: the new Apple touch mouse is pretty darn cool… and the new iMac is mightily impressive. Apple industrial design FTW. Again. #

• @LindaEskin Thanks for the congrats. I can't wait to get the wall mount and iMac VESA adapter later this week. I feel like I'm in Star Trek. in reply to LindaEskin #
