Lots of surprises at MacWorld

by on January 13, 2006

It’s been a day of surprises at MacWorld.

First, Dave Winer, at breakfast, told Patrick “this is your lucky day, I’m buying you a Mac.” Wow. Patrick is in heaven. We’ll do a podcast later. Sort of a Mac vs. Tablet PC kind of debate. Mine is black. His is white. We’re dressed the same. The Channel 9 guy has been visiting MacWorld.

Second, Shel Israel called me during lunch and said “our book is in stock at Amazon.” Awesome, you can buy your copy now. Go, we’ll wait. :-)

Third, Phillip Torrone called me up and said “let’s hang out.” Which we’re doing at the Metreon right now. All four of us are sharing his EVDO link.

  • Larry, Dave's a great friend and I appreciate him a lot. Totally agreed.
  • Staci: none of us could get on the Wifi there. Seems it wasn't working.
  • Staci Kramer
    Robert -- a little confused by the need to share EVDO at Metreon. Last time I was there WiFi was free and easy; I had dinner at the noodle place while I worked on deadline. Has the policy changed?

    Lucky Patrick! Great to have an "Uncle Dave" like that. Hey Dave - nice!
  • WWBD? Is that What Would Bill Do or What Would Ballmer Do? I can see Ballmer throwing it out the window and making him "fetch"... Bill, I'm not so sure. I imagine he'd do something deviously clever - like spilling a coke on it.

    If I ship you my 2-week-old PowerBook G4, will you send Patrick up to Steve Jobs and have him ask if Apple will replace it with the new Intel-based one they just smited me with?
  • Does Patrick have to play with his Mac outside the house? I mean, are you going to let that thing in your house, Mr. Scoble?

    WWBD?
  • Larry
    Robert,

    You are fortunate to have such a kind best friend in Dave. That was a very loving gesture to your son who wanted a Mac so badly.

    Dave, if you ever read this.... you are the man!
  • Nevermind I was wrong, it looks like a 12 inch iBook, good for him! And Scoble, it's EVDO.
  • What a lucky kid! Is he getting an intel based one atleast so he can run Vista when he wants?

    Way to go Patrick, and Dave Winer!

    Can't wait to see his review of it, and you should do a write up about the Lenovo X41 Tablet.
