finding Monsuun | est. 2005

I have been asked recently why I plan to leave my Microsoft (rest in peace sweet Microsoft) roots when I don’t even own one piece of Apple hardware or software. In fact, I have only one friend that actually uses his Mac email address. Thus, my current connection to Apple, Mac, iPod, et cetera is close to nill.

This will all change soon, however, when Apple releases its iTV in the spring, Leopard OS in January, and Andrea and I buy a Mac mini (shhh, I haven’t told her yet) in preparation for the media distribution giant that we will become upon the advent of a child.  And if Mr. Cringely is right this time (and he usually is), by using Apple’s iTV, coupled with an iSight, I can sit on my couch, open iChat on my TV, start a video chat with my Grandparents in Wisconsin, and immediately share those home videos of my baby farting in the bath water. And after that Andrea and I can put the baby to bed, sit back, relax, and watch the Lucky Number Slevin I just downloaded from iTunes. At least until the crying starts…

Andrea is now officially 9 weeks pregnant by the analysis of our first ultrasound yesterday. Everything is looking good–he/she is one inch long, has stubs for arms and legs, and has a heart rate of 178 bpm. The due date is set for April 19, 2007. Male? Female? We’ll know in two more months.
