The 26th Annual AJC Auto Show – Review

April 21st, 2008

So, yesterday, I went to the 26th Annual AJC Auto Show, held at the Georgia World Congress Center. Over all the event was done half-way decent, coordination and intelligence was scattered around unnecessarily and stupidity.

In years past, the auto show was held within one large showroom floor in Building A, however this year, the show was split up into 2 showrooms. I don’t know if the split was because of scheduling conflicts, or if it was because Building A was undergoing repairs from the tornado that went through the Atlanta-area a few months ago, but either way it was still decently organized.

This year, unlike last year, we decided to go on opening day, I was expecting there to be large crowds and plenty of energy, but the hussle and bussle just wasn’t there. To me, it felt like that the majority of people there weren’t there to check out the new concepts, the upcoming production models, or the exotic sports cars. The lack of energy just kinda made the event kinda bland, informative and entertaining, but still kinda bland.

Leopoard has Arrived

November 5th, 2007

Leopoard has Arrived   leopard box.thumbnailSo, about a week ago Apple released it’s 6th major release to the Mac OS X system. A few days before its release, Apple had a pre-order system set up. So, being the geek that I am, I pre-ordered. On Friday 26th, I received my package, and Apple officially started selling the OS. Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a reflective, holographic-like package. I opened the box and pulled out the Mac OS X “Leopard” 10.5 DVD and slipped the disc into my MacBook and started the installation.

The Installation said to save all of my work and press the “Restart” button within the dialog box. A few seconds later, the installation started. I selected my language and my options and the installation started. Having previously watched the Leopard installation movie from Apple’s website, I knew it would take between an hour or two to fully install and reboot the computer.
