Blogging is a great way to connect with people you’d never imagine you could.
If you’re an entrepreneur or marketer, you’ll be inspired by Guy Kawasaki’s Art of the Start . He really distills everything down into an entertaining 20 minute talk!
The original Mac Evangelist is now Managing Director of Garage Technology Ventures…I found his blog exceptionally refreshing. He embodies all that we love about Apple: Simple, elegant, and about “Changing the World.”
I wish the Corporate Entity that Apple has become lived up to its earlier promise. A couple years ago I tried to discontinue the iLife subscription, which I couldn’t do except through the .mac website…which wouldn’t let me. My long-held affection for Mac completely ended when a tech support assured me it was ok to reboot the computer from the disk, “to fix the permissions” while FileVault was on. NEVER DO THIS!
All my files got locked away in a sparse.image file and my master password no longer worked. Apple reminded me that there’s a warning, but they did give me and a free copy of Tiger.
However, when I compare this experience to my fiance’s frustration with Vista and automatic Nazi-like updates from HP, I remain an Apple Evangalista.
