Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a while, it’s just that I’m currently on vacation now. I was in London from the 28th to theis past Saturday, and I’m currently in Rome and will stay here until Friday, and then I’ll be in Italy’s Amalfi Coast until the 17th. London was great but I’ve already been there before, but Rome is just amazing, especially me being the history buff I am. More on my vacation to come later.
As for WWDC, which I hope most of you have been following, I have a bunch of things to say:
Mac Pro - Awesome, great that Apple finally breaks 3GHz, but way out of my price range.
Xserve - Coll wuith Intel, but server products are of no interest to me.
Leopard - Soooooooooooooooooo cool. Number one favorite features: Time Machine (similar to Windoze XP’s System Restore, love Time Machine’s interface), Mail 3.0 (Notes and RSS), Spaces (liek Virtual Desktops on Linux and a program tahyt does Virtual Desktop for OS X), and new iChat (screen sharing and cool backgrounds).

Lollapalooza is a big music festival held every year. This year, they have something called Last Band Standing, in which people vote online for amateur bands/individuals, the winning of whom will be the opening act at Lollapalooza. Why am I saying this? Because my cousin, Scott Thomas, is in this competition. Here’s what you can do: go to lollapalooza.com, click on Last Band Standing, under States go to IL, and click on Scott Thomas. Listen to his song, vote, and, every day for the rest of June, vote (put it on your Google Calendar or do some other kind of reminder).
