Today we shot a quick video for Groovr.  The idea for this is an extremely mini-series/promo set of videos that will involve a handful other people in Pittsburgh.  Whatever you do, I want to film it and incorporate it into this set.  Videos will be from 30 seconds to a minute and a half depending upon what you'll be doing.

If you've been living under a rock or never read a blog entry of mine about Groovr, it's a new text-message-based networking site that allows you to "check-in" to locations that is then published online.  After that, your friends will be able to see what you're doing via the web or text message update.  Check it out for yourself:  http://www.groovr.com



Look for that video tomorrow as well as photos from Macworld (finally).

Big deal.
Just change the name Steve.

For all I care, call it the PoopSnack Mobile by Apple Computer, Inc.

My only real complaint is Cingular only.. Granted, my ABC quote said otherwise, I'd really love to be able to choose my own service provider. Having Sprint and Verizon already, I'm not exactly too keen on adding on a third.

I've heard and read a million different possibilities/rumors as far as when the iPhone (or, as I'll now refer to it, the PoopSnack Mobile by Apple Computer, Inc) is open to other providers.

The price point I feel is pretty fair. The Treo 700p originally retailed at $619!!!!! As I said previously, the iPhone is currently priced at $599 for the 8GB model and $499 for the 4GB model. That's all well and good, but what about a new user agreement? With a 2 year plan, the Treo 700p's price was significantly knocked down to $399.

Come on Steve.. You're already forcing Cingular upon us! Perhaps you could at least pay for our early termination fees? Just a thought, my friend.. Just a thought.

Ah, here's the infamous video from ABC's Nightline. Karen and I are at 1:10 and 4:30. It's a really great news clip about the iPhone. Watch it all!

After you're done with that, there is a tasty treat over at MPML also. I put up two new videos :


iPhone


Keynote Proposal

I have so much to blog about, and no time to do so. I've hardly had time to even take pictures. I'll catch you all up as soon as possible.

Ah, waiting to board my flight to SF in Vegas. I did manage to sleep the entire way here which wasn't that great.. I had an aisle seat, but somehow made do. Coffee helped and now I'm ready for nap #2.

I was pretty excited to check into the Pittsburgh Airport via Groovr this morning to find out someone already had been there! Go, Groovr go.

Time to go. Bye!

I'll be heading to San Francisco tomorrow morning for Macworld 2007. I'm pretty sure if you know me at all, you'll know just how excited I am to be able to attend this year. Steve Jobs?

I believe since I was born, I've been using a Mac. My first was an Apple Lisa. It's almost as though she is a long lost sister of mine.

Anyways, I'd love to ramble on about my life as a Mac user, but alas.. it's 4am (I've backdated so it looks as though I did indeed update on the 7th) and I've yet to actually finish packing. I'll save my Mac flashbacks for another day.

THINGS TO CHECK OUT:
• 2006 Montage created using Jumpcut is on Mommy Pack My Lunch.
• Tons of Groovr updates from my trip. Join the site to follow my travels.
• Add the Mommy Pack My Lunch Myspace comedy site here.


** As a reminder, photo updates will be on Tasty Blog Snack and Vox throughout the next few days!

Still in New York and I only get cell reception randomly throughout the ski lodge. There's a small section of the kitchen table that I'll actually be able to send photos without an error. Its so warm here that skiing was never even an option. Its basically 60 degrees and raining. Mud fest dot com.

We're coming back Sunday and then Monday I'll be flying out to San Fran to attend Mac World. I've wanted to go since I came out of my mom, so this is pretty exciting.

In other news, I was really worried that I lost my wallet but Desiree informed me that it was in a dark corner under a pile of clothes in my room. That would have caused some issues at the airport. Considering I think that I also lost my birth certificate.. lol

Ah, oh well... I'm going to bed!

I'm going to be creating several promo videos for this new text message based Myspace kinda site. It's called Groovr.

Basically, you can "check in" to different locations via your phone and it will be updated on the website. Your friends can also see where you're at, check out the photos posted in that location, and join you there by doing the same!

Anyways, just go here, sign up, and take the tour to see how it works.

After that, I'm looking for people in Pittsburgh that have some sort of unique talent or job that I could film you "checking in" using the website. For example, a band member "checking in" on stage, resturant cook/host/hostess, student, etc. Anything! What do you do that might be interesting?

Let me know! Sign up here! If you have any questions, just ask me.

I'll have an example promo video up shortly of my version in the next week to show you what I'm looking for.
