Yeah…it’s old but done (edited) well.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock – tomorrow Apple host an event that most folks are predicting will be big. It will start at noon CST. In the past Apple has announced numerous products that have changed technology.

The iMac, the iPod and of course the iPhone.

During each event, as a faithful Mac Addict, I’ve sat in front of my computer and logged in to a website that have folks at the keynote location. Armed with a laptop, camera and internet connection, these folks capture and upload, minute by minute, the events unfolding while “Holy Steve Jobs” masterfully engages the crowd during his presentation. What are my predications for tomorrow?

Three words – Star Trek LCARS. That’s my take…

But tomorrow, I’m going to do something different and completely out of character.

I’m not going to sit at my computer, eating my lunch, constantly refreshing the webpage. The site states I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself. Instead, I will leave the office 30mins before the event begins to enjoy lunch with a dear and wonderful mentor/sage/friend of mine. He is one of the best bosses I’ve had the pleasure of working for and although he’s retired, we still keep in touch.

Why am I writing about this you ask? Why do you even care? I guess I’m tired of Apple fevered rumor/prediction mill. Just get it over with and let’s move on.

Besides, I’ve already received some great news at work today.

And for you folks out there that participated in a sudden collected intake of air in the form of a gasp at my post, don’t worry, I’ve not been thrown from the Apple Bandwagon…I just want to enjoy the day and smell the roses.

At least mine are NOT AS shaky. :-) Check out what I found at a site I visit regularly.

Chimp-Directed Chimpcam Project Will Win Every Oscar The BBC plans to premiere The Chimpcam Project, a documentary shot by actual chimpanzees, this week. Get ready for the inevitable Avatar comparisons, and check out this video preview below. Basically, some researchers encased a camera in a chimp-proof box and gave it to both wild and zoo-bred chimps. Enraptured with the viewfinder, they began tossing it around, taking pictures of whatever shiny object or unexpected movement interested their lemon-sized brains. As a side note, this is also how Michael Bay directs his movies. It probably won’t be that interesting (also like a Michael Bay movie!), especially since the majority of the footage was shot in a zoo enclosure in Edinburgh, but I’ll still probably watch it when it premieres this Wednesday. I mean, what else is going on that day, besides the Holy Grail of Tech announcement and the State of the Union? Bring on the monkey-movie!

With all the hype going on right concerning the “imminent announcement” of the Apple tablet, I thought I would remind everyone that Apple was there before…but failed miserably with the Apple Newton.

While I was perusing a site I visit daily, gizmodo.com, I came across a flickr slideshow of a “prototype” of the Apple Newton.

It had “Bat” in the name and well, I’m a sucker for Batman.

It looks too cool and I’m not ashamed to say I would have bought it. I actually have one of the original Newtons (thank you Jim) and it still powers up! But more on that later…
