The All New Mac Mini

I know that I’m 2 days late but… here goes:

Apple has finally unleashed the NEW Mac Mini on March 3, 2009.

Now that Apple has gone away with the WWDC Apple Conference/Macworld Expo, hearing about their new products takes chance to word of mouth, or by simply stumbling upon their website.

To keep their theme of going green, Apple has finally unveiled their new Mac mini. It still has the same dimensions as the old one, just with better and updated guts.

A Visit to the Car Show

A Product of Toyota

Today was pretty awesome! I got a new haircut, went to the mall with my parents and went to the Car Show at the IX Center in Cleveland, Ohio!

They featured many car brands, all known – Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Honda, Toyota… and many more! They had a ferris wheel in the middle of the building, complete with aracade games and prizes, they had simulators where the army helicopter simulator would really tumble you in a full 360 degree spin. They also had thier annual Fox 8 Cleveland Idol Contest where the best singer wins tickets to the final American Idol Concert. Raffles for Indians games, Car Giveaways and many more that I haven’t known about. But overall, the Car Show is always about showing off the car company’s new line of cars for the year, their new concept cars in production, plans and basically a shoutout to people that they’re still here, makin’ awesome cars as ussual.

Super Duper Mario Galaxy

What fascinates me about Super Mario Galaxy is… (besides the awesome gameplay) …the music. I must confess. I do appreciate certain kinds of orchestral music. Something in it just entices me to listen, feel and ride with it. And the fact that Nintendo had the guts to orchestrate a video game is just wonderful! And yes, I do wish that they’d orchestrate most of the games… when necessary.

 

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario has long been the best of the best – gameplay, art, music, you name it! All thanks to the genius mastermind,  Shigeru Miyamoto who somehow had the mind to put Mario in his head and make it come to life. In 2007, he developed another chapter for our always contending hero – Super Mario Galaxy – where Mario takes to the skies and into space to save Princess Peach and the universe from Bowser’s plan for total universe domination. Here, you’ll see some old characters from the series and some new ones who fit the chapter flawlessly. In this series of Super Mario, you get to travel from one Galaxy to the other through the help of the Luma Stars and the Star Princess, Rosalina.
