Today is a big product refresh from Apple. They've updated iMacs, the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro . Very little has changed on the outside of any of the machines. It's all about faster, better more effecient performance. The Mac Pro internal system architecture has been re-designed to make upgrades even easier. Out of everything that's changed, I'm most excited about the new Airport Extreme . It now simultaneously and separately supports 2.4GHz data Wi-Fi AND 5GHz Wi-Fi. That means your need for speed on your computer isn't throttled by all the 2.4GHz wireless devices you have in your house. The new Extreme also supports up to 50 users and guests can be on a different network to keep data on your network secure. On today's Brief, I talked about being short-listed for the Best Job in the World contest . Winning would mean Neal and I would move to an Island in the Great Barrier Reef from July to December 2009. The whole thing is a marketing campaign by Tourism Queensland so my duty would be to share my experience on the island through video, blog posts and tweets. I would, of course, continue to do Geek Brief from the Island. The way it would work is pretty simple. Neal would be with me and he would work full time on the show. I already spend 80 percent of my time interacting with you guys through Twitter, blog posts and email. That's what Tourism Queensland is looking for in this promotion, so my life wouldn't be that much different for those six months than it is now. The difference would be a change of scenery, and I would be producing a ton of travel and nature content in addition to releasing 4 episodes of Geek Brief a week with the beauty of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef in the background. Tourism Queensland will pick 10 people. There is an online vote to pick an 11th. All 11 will travel to Australia for an interview. They'll pick from the 11. I appreciate your votes for me at IslandReefJob.com/cali . You can vote once a day for the next 30 days. If you have any questions about it, I'll answer in the comments on this post.
