I Know Which Launch Party I’d Rather Go To!
Apparently they party differently too.
HostingYourParty is Microsoft’s latest video to be making its internet rounds. The clip features a “diverse” group of “cutting edge” Windows 7 users (including one who reminds me of Cindy McCain) comparing notes on their Windows 7 launch parties (Yep. Windows. 7. Launch. Parties.) so entertainment-impaired Windows fans will be adequately prepared when their time comes.
It’s one of those clips that is funny in an “it’s so bad it’s funny” way – which quickly turns into an “ok, now I’m getting bored, there’s no way I’m watching this whole clip” way. For the uninitiated, you can check it out here.
Side note to Microsoft: No hard feelings, but COME ON. Even your PARTIES aren’t intuitive! Why is this so challenging for you??!
Cabel Sasser posted the solution below on his blog. Imagine if Microsoft were promoting this kind of party!
Check out Cabel’s post for his thoughts on the original video (and his version’s inspiration)! (I also encourage you to check out Panic, Inc. – the company Cabel co-founded – for yummy Mac software!)

Call for Nominations Now Open for “Women Changing the World” Award!
One of the most vital lessons I’ve learned this past year is the importance of reaching out for help. The Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute is accepting nominations for its “Women Changing the World” Award. As I’ve expressed in my most recent blog posts, the Women’s Leadership Institute was a life-changing experience for me. [...]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
what I'm up to- Happy 90210! (I think Donna was my favorite - who was yours?)
- Just noticed Craigslist's "show images" option. That's handy.

Just wandered on in, and I think you’re absolutely right about Microsoft’s marketing: it’s pretty lame, and plays right into Apple’s hands, and Apple’s products are awesome.
Microsoft would be much better served making the case that Macs and PC’s are a bit like apples and oranges: any serious gamer is probably going to have a PC, whereas I’m tempted to get a Mac just for ease of use with web-conferencing or making a v-log. I realize Microsoft is loathe to do this, given that it would pretty much make PC’s look more niche in some way than Macs, but I think it’s a smarter move than just being hammered for overall poor quality: the truth is that people demand a lot out of PC’s, and some of the PC’s they complain about are dirt cheap.
Microsoft is also doing itself no favors with its web presence: “Live Spaces” was never that well run, MSN messenger has been pretty buggy for me, and bing is about the only thing they’re doing right. Creating one very high quality thing on the web would go a long way for them.
