looking at what films are on the TV & disappointed to see it is mostly all films already shown recently - why not show some indie movies ??

If you are not iPadded out here is a short podcast with a bit of iPad discussion http://bit.ly/94vFfl Mac 20 Questions Podcast 82

I am looking forward to seeing the last series of Lost which kicks off soon. I don't expect it to make sense though

'Eloquent Graffiti' Is the next movie to come from @ZakForsman We talked about his previous films on Video20Q Podcast http://bit.ly/cpULff

Exercising my culinary skills with a curry. My mouth is watering in excitement & made enough to have on another day in the week

Mac20Q Podcast 82 - iPad edition some thoughts about the iPad http://bit.ly/94vFfl

Sold 2 more of my photos from my portfolio last night. http://bit.ly/6shXhK Must go & take more photos to make it bigger

Saw the movie Sherlock Holmes. What on earth did the Yanks do to Sherlock. They turned him into The Terminator. Enjoyed the film though

re encoding the video I made - not small enough when exported out of FinalCut Express. Using MPEG StreamClip this time

1st task is to export out of FinalCut Express the video I have made for GraffitiPodcast #1. Then I will put up on YouTube & on the Blog.

No electric all morning so I have been offline & in the garden cutting back trees. I even went & had a haircut. Call me tennis ball head now

Am I going to buy an iPad?

I like the look of it, I want one but don’t really need one. My wife will be getting one of these beauties though. She is a teacher and has been on the look out for something exactly like this for using with her work. She wanted a MacBook Air for the lightness of it and this is lighter. The iPad has a super looking version of Keynote on there for $10 and she can do all her information management that teachers have to do easily on this device.

Best of all – She may let me touch it from time to time, perhaps even use it?

Quick first impressions of the iPad from Mac20Q http://bit.ly/bR4i8J

I think I would be inclined to get the iPad without the 3G and then buy a MiFi device - much more useful all round

I am amazed that so any people are complaining that the iPad doesn't have Flash. Don't have it on the iPHone and don't need it or want it !

My wife has just told me that she will be getting herself an iPad for sure. Excellent at last fully converted to the Mac

The pricing (starts at $499) looks great for the #iPad #apple I reckon they will sell in huge numbers. I want one ! Of course

iWork demo is done. "So what are we going to charge for applications like this? just $9.99 each" He means $10 for Pages $10 for Keynote etc

It is a neat trick that with a virtual keyboard you can have specific keyboards for the data you are entering at the time #iPad #apple

If iWork comes bundled with the iPad it could clean up - the books thing iBook looks great too

iWork is looking good on the tablet - Keynote and Numbers. and Battery life looks good at 10 hours

Well the people that bet on it being called the iTablet got it wrong #iPad #apple Watching the live update on Engadget here.

Latest Mac20Q Podcast featuring @AdamWeiss Excellent chat about using a Mac to do creative things. He is a podcaster http://bit.ly/7EbiZm

Working on the video editing in FinalCut Express of my 1st video podcast for GraffitiPodcast. Voiceover to do yet & music track

Apple getting ready to premiere the iTablet

Later today Steve Jobs will be getting on stage to tell us about his new toy for us all. 

Time for all the rumours to be quashed and all the picking apart the bones of whatever Apple comes out with today. 10 inch form factor with an iPhone like interface. Will it be fast? Will it have Kindle like abilities? Will it be a game changing platform that will take the world by storm. Are you going to buy one as soon as it is in the store?

It is still all questions right now as I write this but in eight hours time there will be an explosion on the internet when every Mac fan has one topic to talk about. The iSlate, iTablet or the iPad. For sure some will be deleriously happy with the new toy and many will snipe at it, saying well it doesn’t do this or doesn’t do that. It will depend on whether the hype has been over done or not.

Danny Lacey Film talks to Mac20Q

Danny Lacey has set himself off on a course of learning how to make movies. Danny makes video for corporate customers anyway but making movies, either short films or feature length film is a whole different kettle of fish. As part of his learning regime he has mad a short movie for a horror competition called ‘Angel of the Night’. I watched the 3 minute version of the movie and was impressed. You have to have a twist in a movie to make it more interesting.
