Okay finally back....

It was a wonderful ceremony and I am so happy.

A few thoughts on convergence and media:
1) Apple and their news. First I applaud their increasing the size of their resolution to 640 X 480. This will allow a better quality viewing experience as they migrate with their "iTV" project. Now I feel this is important because their are not many devices out there that will just plug in and work and as I have mentioned before Apple seems to at least understand that. This device will allow you to automatically (not sure how they are planning on it completely) allow you to play and watch your iTunes library content on a TV connected to it. There are some other interesting ideas like taking your photos and having those play with music as a nice different background for a party or a slide show. I have 3 hours of photos from our last vacation wan't to watch? Okay maybe not.

The other interesting thing that this will make possible is targeted delivered video podcasts on subjects that people enjoy. Easy all I have to do is go down to the podcasts and watch them. This could be interesting.

2)Amazon- They launched their new download service. I am trying it out with the pilot episode of Studio 60. The challenge is that Joe consumer still will have a challenge. Amazon became easy because all one had to do was find the book they wanted and click buy. Once their details were entered it came right to them. The challenge I still feel is how are we going to make that jump between easy and hard. I will let you know tomorrow the whole details of the experience.

"Labor Day"

A labor of love. That is what it is and will always will be. A business is about a way of love if it is done correctly. You must have that feeling of love for it. You work long hours and at often times for an unsure future, but if you are staying pure to your thoughts and why you do it you will succeed. Do it for the love of it and not the money. Do it to make a difference and change something. Oh and truly love those around you that help you make these things a reality! Thank you Jo. I love you.
