Microsoft has Windows Movie Maker and Sound Recorder which function, but are not as leet as some Apple apps like the iLife suite and even the iWork package. I guess with the internet evolving to motivate more people to create content and distribute it amongst their peers more people are purchasing Macs because they see the creative opportunities they have with Apple products. They also see how they can contribute to the "tremendous sea of content" on the internet by creating new media. I noticed you added new media to your interests list on your Facebook. Last year Rick Hancock, an anchor from FOX61 news, came into my Journalism class and spoke to us about the evolution of how people consume content. Reading this blog post, the phrase new media definitely sums up what he was talking to us about.

You even bothered to register a domain. I'm psyched. Woah, what’s this blue alliance thing that you are making? You even bothered to register a domain. I’m psyched.

Why? Advancements in technology allow us all to be content creators rather than just consumers. As Greg points out, anyone with a connection to the internet and a cheap video camera can create a podcast, anyone with iMovie can edit a feature film, and anyone with Apple’s iWork package can layout a magazine. (Now look what happens when I read digg. You get a blog post about one item.) I went to the Connecticut Vex competition today at University of Hartford, and it ran smoothly. Tom Bottiglieri was the master of ceremonies for the competition. Greg, Chris, and Sam also ended up going. Sam and I were the main camera operators, but I ended up helping out at the scoring table most of the time. I got to learn the scoring software, and control the field via a USB to Field Controller adapter, made by IFI, hooked up to the laptop. [...] […] TIME has named “You” as the 2006 Person of the Year.
