Yes, it’s again that time of the week. Puppy class. I’ll have a full report tonight or tomorrow… I’m contemplating taking the camera along for some action shots…

It will be interesting to see how Yeti reacts since she will now be one of the larger dogs there. She has been on the whole better in recent weeks, but I jinxed myself by mentioning to Sonja that she hadn’t chewed through any of the furniture yet. And whatddya know? Later that night, a quiet grinding noise caught my attention, and I raced up the stairs to find a puppy, some sawdust and chips, and a slightly injured kitchen chair. “Ha! That’ll teach us to neglect me!” Yeti says under her puppy-breath. I seem to remember another puppy from my life doing the exact same thing…

Anyways, ReplayTV is ready to go, scrubs and friends are all set! Puppies here we go!

Wow there was a flurry of activity on the site yesterday as I experimented with reporting a ‘live’ event. It was fun for me, but I can see some ways to improve the layout of the site. I’ll work on that when I have more time.

I can’t wait to download some of the new updates to the iApps and start playing around.

I did download safari, and it is quite nice. By the time it is 1.0, it should be very nice. Hopefully they’ll add tabbed browsing.

That was a pretty wild keynote. You could tell Steve was pretty amped up about it from the beginning.

I can’t wait to test out some of the new applications. And I would suggest that everyone download and try out Safari, so far it’s looking pretty good.

BTW, this was posted with Kung-Log, I’m testing it out…

I’m abusing my hour of lunch… and mesmerized by the RDF and I’ve developed a Gollum complex

Goodness, they’ve been busy

Keynote, presentation app, Steve’s been using it for the last year…

Showing “beautiful” typography

Alignment guides Very cool

Support for alpha channels for graphics… and multiple different graphics file formats…

love the shot of the lady in the audience that doesn’t know she’s being filmed

Safari – Apple’s new Web Browser

“Fastest browser on the Mac”

iBench stats, 5 seconds faster than Chimera, 3 times faster than IE

Javascript test, Safari is twice as fast as IE

Launches 40% faster.

“We wanted to innovate”
Google is integrated Sweet! I love google, (and who doesn’t?)

Snapback takes you to the top of the page?

New bookmarks system

“We wanted to make it extremely easy to use”

Uses the metal interface ( Interface is very bare-bones looking)

Demoing…. Wow, it looks really fast…

Plugging Finding Nemo…

Quicktime, Flash, Java, all works… what’s that music making site he went to?

Bookmark adding looks nice, uses a sheet, lets you rename the bookmark right away…

Bookmarks library looks exactly like iTunes and iPhoto

Any website listed in your Address Book is in Safari

Are there tabs? I love tabs when I’m using Chimera

Ahhh snapback takes you back your google search…. Or back to the top level of any website you’ve typed in?

Bug button right in the window, so you can send website errors right back to them…

Obviously Apple wants to address the web browsing deficiency that has existed on the Mac (until now apparently)

Based on Open Source rendering engine… (Gecko?)

“Open Source, We think it’s great!” Posting all their improvments to the web.

Nope, using KHTML, from Konqueror?

Beta, for free, Today…. (presumably here, but not yet…

New name for the digital life style

Available January 25.

Bundled with new Macs (but….)

iTunes is free, iPhoto is free, iMovie is free, (but….)

iDVD is huge, so they’re going to box it, with all the apps for $49

This is much better than I had expected, I was expecting them all not to be free
