I’ve been a Mac user since 1986 (though your Mac will kick the crap out of my little old iBook). They are good things. I am blaming you (well, you and Josh Neff) for the fact that I just decided I’d better investigate Twitter, too. Oh, and Dorothea, since she just wrote about it. I’d better blame her, too.

Unfortunately, Doggles and Steve Lawson had a falling out last year and now Doggles refuses to have anything to do with sites that Lawson takes part in. It’s been really hard avoiding choosing sides in this rivalry, especially when doggles is just so soft and smooshy and… well… I really haven’t had the opportunity to squeeze Steve Lawson to test his smoosh-ability.

Please don't take this personally, but since I've already joined you at Flickr, can I add Doggles at Twitter?

Yes, Julian. If I remember correctly, it is what Paul Miller used. You can do so many really slick looking transitions, easily embed movies, etc. It does all of the things I have tried to make PPT do and failed miserably.

Keynote ROCKS. I am having to use PowerPoint to create a poster at work, and it’s just horrible.

Counting the days until work buys me a Mac (which they have promised to do, yay)…

Is Keynote the presentation software I saw Paul Miller from Talis use in his presentation at CIL last year? The one with all the cool transitions not found in PowerPoint? If it is, then I was mesmerized by its appearance. It was enough to make me pay closer attention to the presentation. I’m more of a Linux guy myself, but if (hopefully, once) I start doing lots of presentations, a MacBook might work its way into my stable of systems because I’m not sure that OpenOffice.org Impress measures up… and I avoid Windows whenever possible.

Ha! When I give talks on the Getting Things Done (GTD) system, I usually open by saying “GTD is not a cult. Now you know you are in for it, because when someone feels he has to start out by saying ‘this is not a cult’ you know for sure IT’S A CULT!”

So anyway, Twitter: not a cult, but Macintosh: certainly a cult. And it’s only the best cult ever. Michele is actually in big trouble right now for saying that Apple is not perfect. Nice knowing ya, Michele.

Meredith, as I told David Lee King, there are plenty of options when it comes to getting the Apple tattoo. Don’t rush into anything.

Welcome to the Mac world! There is virtually no piece of software you cannot run. The world is yours!

I don’t join cults. Twitter is not a cult. Repeat. Twitter is not a cult. Not a cult. Repeat.

Once you have a Mac, you’ll never go back! Apple is not perfect, but they really excel in areas like usability, design, and attention to detail.
