17 Sep 07 Tired
I’m sitting at a Starbucks in Talahassee visiting with my friend Eric (EricBeasley.net) who I haven’t seen in a while. He’s going to FSU, but we used to work together when he was home for the summer a year ago. He also was on More Meat Then Tuna as a regular host when we were producing the show.
As you can see from the picture I am exhausted. It’s been a lot of driving so far, and I have a good 5-6 hours ahead of me to make it to New Orleans. The best way to keep up with my constant updates is via Twitter (Twitter.com/NickStarr) or you can text “Follow NickStarr” to 40404 (without the quotes).
Well my friend just arrived, so I am going to hang out with him for a while then head back on the road. Until later…buh bye.

Yeah I know it’s not called the iTV anymore, but I can’t find the apple symbol on my Vista machine, so deal with it. Apple’s first iTV commercial is officially up on the Apple site. It features John Krasinski who plays Jim Halpert on “The Office” as the voice over. I played with one in the Apple store last week, and really enjoyed it. The iTV was extremely hot (like physically hot to the touch). Check out the ad in HD, or above from YouTube.
20 Mar 07 Apple TV Shipping
As of today, Apple is shipping the long awaited Apple TV. Most shipments are coming from FedEx, and you should have a tracking number if you check on the status of your order. These are scheduled to be arriving in Apple Stores across the nation very soon. Personally, I haven’t purchased one yet, but that isn’t to say I don’t want it.
26 Feb 07 First iPhone ad – Hello
[YouTube]EFG5WWRloK4[/YouTube]
During the 79th Oscars last night, the first iPhone ad was aired to a nationwide audience. It in my opinion wasn’t the best ad Apple has ever produced, but it was appropriate for the time/place it was aired.
It features movie characters over the ages answering the phone with the word “Hello.” It’s remisiant of the launch of the Macintosh in 1984.
Apple has posted the ad in HD on it’s site.
