A visit to the Apple store

Today I went and visited the new Apple store in Edmonton and I must say it was a very cool experience. From the large amount of computers on display to the abundance of staff eager to answer all of your questions, there was plenty to see and do. The store itself has a very clean, well structured layout and simple decor (this helps keep the customers focused on the Apple products I would assume).

I took the opportunity to try out the Macbook Air, iPhone 3G, and also stare wide-eyed at the 30 inch Apple Cinema Display (you could work in four near full-size windows on that monitor). I must say that the Macbook Air is very cool and the multi-touch track pad allows for some unique movements. The ‘thin’ factor of the Air would definitely be a space saver in the old laptop bag! The iPhone 3G with its slim design and multi-touch display most definitely revolutionizes the mobile phone concept in my opinion and provides a near-perfect browsing experience. I made sure to visit my website while surfing in-store.

So if you are ever in or around Edmonton make sure to stop by the West Edmonton Mall and check out the Apple store.

New multimedia project starting this week

I have begun work this week on a new multimedia project. The scope of this project includes the scanning and archiving of 1200 slides, editing and restoring the images, and building a slide show DVD presentation. There will also be custom print work designed for the DVD covers and custom labeling for DVD discs as well.

The project will take up to four months to complete and the final product will be a full-featured DVD slide show experience.
