So is it just me or does Apple Computer know what they are doing? Yesterday was the Keynote at the Macworld Conference and Mr. Jobs revealed several awesome products. The first two are software related and are iLife ‘05 and iWork ‘05. iLife is just an updated version of the current one I have (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand, and iTunes) but, iWork is a new office application that includes the updated version of Keynote (Apple’s PowerPoint Killer) and a new application called Pages. Pages is an awesome looking word processor and has me looking forward to using it over MS Word any day as I already use Keynote instead of PowerPoint. Now on with the hardware!
Also released yesterday was the Mac mini. Now your PC users have no excuse for not getting a Mac! It is small, powerful and affordable. The machine is $499 for the lowest end model. Just remember to BYODKM (Bring your own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse). It will function with any PC monitor, TV and any USB or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. This just rocks and I can’t wait to see how well it does.
Last but not least, we have the iPod Shuffle. This is a flash based iPod that comes in a 512MB and a 1GB version and will cost $99 and $149 respectively. Now I love my iPod and can’t say enough how much I use it but this is just one cooler product that Apple has that will draw people. The iPod Shuffle has no screen so your music is random but at the same time, it is now larger than a pack of gum! If you don’t have the music to fill the larger iPods, get this one. You’ll love it from what I have seen of it.
Well, I just wanted to share my thoughts on these awesome new products.

So as some of you know, I am currently statussed as a CT (casual temporary) cast member here at Walt Disney World. This means that I can be scheduled Full Time hours but I may not get scheduled either. Take next week for example. I was scheduled 42 hours but when the union got involved, I was rescheduled for a mere 30 hours instead. Can I just say I am glad there are shifts available for Extra Hours? So now I have 47 hours after picking up two extra shifts at Mouse Gear over at Epcot. I still love my job, I just hate the way the union dictates things.
Other than work, I am happily settling in here at my new apartment with JK, Norm and Anthony. It’s odd to have to actually commute to work now but it isn’t that far away. Anyways, I’m off to watch Return of the King. Catch you later.

Well, yesterday I moved out of College Program Housing. I am no longer a member of the Walt Disney World College Program. I am now a seasonal cast member at the Walt Disney World Resort pending my transfer to full time status. I left Chatham around 10:30 yesterday morning and made the trek east to Conroy and my new place with JK, Norm and Anthony. I got most of my stuff unpacked but there are still things in boxes. My bed from Ikea isn’t here yet so I have to use an airbed for now but, that works. Most of the stuff I have left is stuff that needs to go under my bed (lifeguard manuals, and what not). I have also realized how much I missed Road Runner. It is just so much faster than the DSL that I had in Chatham. Anyways, I am off to get a costume for Ice Station Cool for tomorrow so I will catch you all later.

Well, it is now officailly 2005. I had a record for me of a 14.5 hour day yesterday. I started at MouseGear in Epcot and then finished at the Emporium. What made it specialw as joining the entire Emporium cast for a toast in the MO-6 parking lot while watching Fantasy in the Sky. Still, I miss being with family. I am in the process now of packing up my apartment once again as I am moving up soem stuff tomorrow night after work and then the rest on Monday when I officially move in with JK, Norm and Anthony. So back to packing and Happy New Year!
