Strike, day 72

Back at my home gate at Paramount this morning, discussion ranged from the DGA deal (which is supposedly done) to Samantha Goodman’s observation that she has a lot more respect for somebody who shivs a guy, rather than using a gun.

Angry Cadillac Woman looked angry, but came nowhere near my legs. Alexa brought homemade muffins. For the first time ever, 9:00 a.m. passed unnoticed. Then I suddenly remembered that I was parked in a street sweeping zone, and had to high-tail it back to the Prius. Back to home. Back to continuously reload the live keynote updates from Macworld.

Tomorrow: back at Paramount, and the Van Ness gate, at 5:45 a.m.

    http://macrumorslive.com/ had an auto-reload feature but I had to cover a total of 4 live feeds since I was writing updates about the Stevenote for a Swedish Apple publication. Anyways, TimeCapsule looks like a great way to backup without wires and the Macbook Air would be a pretty neat replacement for my current Macbook, even if I’m honestly very happy with it!

    The fact that all major studios are now renting movies though iTunes should only be more proof that the WGA is right in demanding a deal that focuses on internet distribution.

    MacBook Air: screenwriter’s best friend?

    Yes the MacBook Air is a screenwriter’s best friend, but not a screenwriter/video editor’s best friend. No firewire! :(

    Anyone have $ 1799 plus tax to lend me?
