Yes, I’m going to Macworld

February 4, 2010 Kyle Buis

In case you forgot or missed it when I mentioned it earlier, yes I am going to Macworld next week and you can come vicariously with me.

I’m hoping to highlight the best the floor has to offer when the expo starts on Thursday with a possible close encounter with an iPad on Saturday. If I don’t get the latter, I may take the Stephen Colbert approach and get my own cable TV show, get an established audience for a few years and then demand Apple give me one. Not sure that plan will work, but there’s only one way to find out.

Also early on in the week I’ll be getting valuable training with Final Cut Pro which I may be able to share bits and pieces with you about.

Make sure to tune in next week as there will be plenty of updates starting Wednesday.
