My iLife Blows

Let this be known as the year I realized, I have no iLife. No iMovies, no iDVDs, no amazing iBooks, I am just iShort on iKnowledge. Ok, it is not knowledge but the cool-for-a-day Macs.

From the lacrosse movie, edited and set to interesting music handed out my my co-coach (that I can't iDuplicate on my PC but need to) to the iSlideShow Reagans teachers made of pictures throughout the year to the yearly oh-so-cool iBook made by the Maces each year that just makes me feel downright lazy. As for my year, I've got nothing to show for it.

I don't look at the photos after I take them. I've got hours (probably days) of camcorder recorded movies of the kids I wont watch until God knows when, and by then there wont be anything to play that format anyhow...

Mel, who hates Macs (cause her work team has to support 3 of them, everyone else is PC) tells me we can do all this stuff on good old Flat Top (our home PC). Flat Top has become that old guy in a captains hat at the end of a dark and quasi dangerous bar who yells, "Quack!" for no reason every 73 minutes. He'll answer your questions and give you your files but you never really know when he is just going to keel over. And what the bar tab will be that you'll get stuck with when he does.

Nice metaphor there. Sometimes, I enjoy my writing more than you do. it shows.

But, and this is a big but, I love iWatching stuff created by these marvelous Macs. It is iAddicting. I also love adding "i" s to anyword to make fun of Macs... I get files from my editor I can't open only becuase he is on a Mac, so I have to bug him to save it in the right format which is annoying. Mel should just buy me a mac so I can get an iLife.

In other news, Reagan and I are making a 1 minute movie (NOT an iMovie). We'll put it up on YouTube and provide a link from here if you'd like to see it when done. She wanted to start with the full on feature length film, but I reigned her in and convinced her to cut her teeth on a 1 minute jobber. It should be a hoot. Or an iHoot. take your pic.
