![]() So get out there and click my links and buy some stuff from Amazon! I wanted to tell you about the change because I always want to keep your trust. I spend a lot of time pulling up images (frequently from Amazon) so I may get lazy and include the picture and pricing and link when I put up the links – they make it easy to do it that way. He told me that instead of putting regular links in my shownotes, I could join the Amazon Associates program, and then when/if you click on the links to the products I show and by some chance you actually BOUGHT the product while you were there, I would get a small percentage of the sales! So without changing anything but the formatting of the link, I could keep giving you the same info I have always shown you, and I get some money to help fund the podcast and my incessant desire for more gadgets! ![]() Well last week I got a very interesting email from Reza Pazooki, who used to work for Amazon. I’ve been doing it pretty much ever since I started doing the show. I like to tell you about the gadgets I acquire, and usually the easiest way to show you the product is to throw an Amazon link in the shownotes. If I think something’s lame, i may be polite to the developer or manufacturer, but I’ll still tell you I think it’s lame. I only tell you I like stuff if I REALLY do like it. One thing I’ve built the podcast on is trust between you and me. It was marvelous! If you’d like to take a look at the pictures of both the Apple Store and the surrounding area, click the Apple logo in the shownotes to see my pics on Flickr. The lighting was beautiful, reddish tones on the Trinity church and the buildings surrounding it. and i did it! all by myself! I got off the last subway and trotted down the street and ran into the HUGEST apple store in the entire US! it’s three stories tall, and just one floor is at LEAST triple the size of the Apple store near my house! I found a real nice guy named Nick and asked him to reenact the entire Keynote for me! Luckily he was very nice and he gave me the whole lowdown – I think it might have been more fun just hearing it all from him!Īfter I bothered him for about an hour, I took a bunch of pictures of the store, had a delightful dinner in town, and then wandered the city just as the sun was setting. We technically have a subway somewhere I think but I’ve never seen it – and I road on our bus system once or twice, but it’s not REAL public transportation! the only time I’ve ever successfully ridden the subway was when Lindsay’s friend Mari insisted we could do it in San Francisco, and we lived through that, so I gave it a try. Now those of you living in normal cities with functioning public transportation are sitting with a confused look on your face, but you need to understand that in LA, we drive everywhere. Take that into South street, get off and take the green line, but get off at Copley or was it the red line to south street and get off the green line at Copley? I have no idea, but he circled a bunch of stuff and swore to me that he was even abel to teach his mom to ride the subway – and I asked him if mom came back alive? He assured me she survived it, so I struck out on my own. He says – first you walk 2 blocks away and you pick up the silver line. But I didn’t have a car! The guy at the front desk tried to convince me that I could take the train – that it was EASY. Well, I got off the plane in Boston and rushed to the hotel, but of course the internet service to was just dreadful so everything was taking forever to load, so i decided to strike out on my own and find the Apple Store in Boston. I’ve been on travel all week, had to be in BOSTON during the Laker game of all places on Tuesday! worse yet I missed the 4th game because I was on the plane on the way back, but the REAL tragedy of the week was that I was on a plane during WWDC! If you haven’t gotten enough WWDC, check out the Mac Roundtable for this week, it was fun to hear the guys talk about it even if I didn’t get to hear it live myself.
