Mike at Sundance - just saw Soderbergh’s new The Girlfriend Experience

shot in just over 2 weeks for $1.7M on Red One

Just got back from the Sneak #2, the worst kept secret of Sundance - Steven Soderbergh’s new film, The Girlfriend Experience. Highights from Steven himself before and from the Q&A afterward the jump.

ProVideoCoalition Liveblogging the MacWorld 2009 Keynote

Mike’s on the scene live at the keynote

This is the placeholder for liveblogging the keynote. It is 8:53am, I’m seated (decently) and ready to go…i

I’ll keep updating this best I can, and I’ll start update again once…anything happens.

8:54 - just sittin’ here…

8:56 - Irony is realizing best seat ever at a keynote, but no Steve…

9:00 am - asked to silence phones, and upbeat music begins…as does a likely long stream of elipses…

Continues after the jump…

Mikey on the scene - blogging the MacWorld SF 2009 Keynote Live

I’ll be at the keynote, typin’ away…

Head’s up - I’m in San Francisco with my media pass to MacWorld San Francisco 2009 (MWSF), I’ll be at the keynote clickety clacking away. I’ll post as much as I can as live as I can from the keynote.
Rumor mills calling for new Mac Minis (likely), new 17” aluminum, fixed (ugh) battery laptop (sure why not), and new Mac Pro towers with Blu-ray. My friend and vendor I buy my Macs from has his own thoughts on the matter: Torrey’s Mac Pro predictions.

UPDATE 11:30am CST Tuesday after the keynote: oops, no new towers. Or new Minis. No wonder Steve stayed home. Here’s the link to my live coverage.
