I already have a Macbook and an iPhone and do not plan on upgrading my hardware any time soon. Still—like many Apple users—I am brimming with anticipation as the WWDC grows closer and closer. Steve Jobs is giving one of his world famous Keynote Speeches on June 9th to kick off the event where he will likely introduce the next generation of the Apple product line including an upgraded or whole new iPhone.

So what can we all do to pull ourselves away from constantly updating Google Reader to see the latest rumors?

At least we can take a few minutes to watch this video I found on 9to5 Mac. It contains a mix of Past Keynote Bloopers.

Next week I will be relaunching my three main sites.

1. claritymm.com - It will look mostly the same since most of the changes and improvements are in the text or the back end but there are some major changes in the services and portfolio section.

2. zenproblog.com - After several postponements, the new theme for Zen Problog will be launched. It still maintains is minimalist integrity but will be much more user friendly.

3. warrengreeley.com! - Finally I have chosen a design I think is worthy of launching as the new look for my personal website. It will be much different than the current one. The new site will also feature a new logo I created for myself inspired by middle-age family crests.

There are no exact dates of when I will be launching but it will likely be early next week. I’ll be announcing them as they come. Stay tuned.

I just read this excellent (though kind of out of place) article on ProBlogger by a guest poster named Robert Bruce.

It’s very simple, 27 Thoughts on blogging for the artist. Though the title implies the thoughts only pertain to blogging, there is some general insight that all of us in the creative field should take to heart when venturing into the great abyss known as the internet.

Update: Read this entertaining poem at KnifeGunPen (Robert Bruce’s blog)

Because he can come up with stuff like this.

I was just linked to this video via CopyBlogger. It is a great example of why I love Apple. Their ideology fits their products and their products in tern fit their ideology. Be sure to share this video with friends if you like it.

Art is significant in my life, people are scum but I have the capicity to deal with it. Give it a few more years and I will either forget about art or hate the world.

An old friend of mine who is now a dj just happened to stop by my house when he got back into town from college and needed a website made. As it happens I make websites so I help him out and my company created dj-phiction.com with all the fun features a Chicago Disk Jockey would need.
