Just saw this tweet from Guy Kawasaki and thought I’d pass it along for the Star Wars fans out there. It’s a “How Star Wars Changed the World” timeline / map showing a lot of stuff that sprouted from the movie, including ILM, THX, etc.
I just ran across a fun website called Corkd. It was linked off of Gary Vaynerchuk’s site, and looks like a great mashup of wine info and social media. Check it out, and if you like it sign up and send me a friend request. I can always use a good recommendation on a bottle of wine.
To everyone here in the US, hope you’re all having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
In lieu of upgrading to one of the new Macbook pros that recently came out I opted for an upgrade of my existing notebook. I purchased a Hitachi 320GB 7200rpm drive and had it installed by Mac Fusion in Long Beach, CA. The Hitachi drives have had consistently great reviews and so far it has performed flawlessly. It’s quiet, a lot roomier than the 120GB drive that came with the notebook, and slightly faster since it’s 7200rpm vs. the original 5400rpm Fujitsu. I would highly recommend the upgrade to anyone who does a lot of multimedia work on their Macbook Pro, but you do need to find an authorized Apple service provider to install it to avoid violating your warranty. Thankfully the new MBP’s have user-upgradable drives, so going forward it will be easier to get more space.
