Macworld 2009: Fearless Blogger Style
The 2009 Macworld Expo is this week. No, I’m not there. Yes, I’m a little bummed. But instead of wallowing in self pity and sorrow, I thought I’d sponsor my own little Macworld.
Below I’ve gathered some of the various videos and comics which poke fun at what makes this blogger’s heart grow warm: everything and anything Apple.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to the 2009 Macworld Expo – Fearless Blogger Style!
