Thank you for your continued support of Douglas Blogs and Vlogs.  I'll see you tomorrow for the weekly live podcast at 8pm on YouTube.

At noon yesterday, Apple kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference with a keynote where they talked about a few key products.  My video above quickly goes over most of them.  If you're interested in more info, keep reading... OS X Mavericks Apple is steering away from a cat name for OS X (10.9) Mavericks.  The update, mostly likely to be $20, includes synced notifications, App Nap along with other performance and power saving features, along with new desktop apps of Maps, iBooks, and iWork with iCloud (also available on PC).  Better multiple display options and file tagging is also new.  It is releasing this fall. Read more at: http://www.apple.com/osx/preview Personally, I've never used OS X beyond what is required at school, so I cannot form any major opions on Mavericks.  I will say, however, that this appears to be a minor upgrade (vs iOS 7-see below). New Hardware Although we only got a preview of the new Mac Pro (see video)...

Description: Today is Day 4 of Operation Storm, a Monday as well, so here is a vlog in which I try some different foods and discuss what might happen at Apple's WWDC at 12pm today. (Filmed in the morning, plus 4 hour upload). There is a bonus video coming this evening detailing what did happen at WWDC, along with a blog post tomorrow over at http://dougaschublogs.blogspot.com. See you there!

What is there to say?  I am back to the (public) internet with tons of new content this summer.  With your help, I'm going to hit the Internet like a storm. Starting June 5th (yesterday), the schedule goes as follows: Mondays: New Vlog Prepare to see my thoughts in a video form, uploaded to YouTube . Tuesdays: New Blog Post Come see my expanded talk, in text form, on this blog . Wednesdays: Hangout Party (1st/3rd), SimCity Live (2nd/4th) On the first and third Wednesdays of the month, be part of a Google Plus Hangout Party. The opposite Wednesdays, I'll be playing SimCity live on Twitch while answering Twitter questions.  Times are TBD. Thursdays: New Blog Post Fridays: New Vlog In addition, I'll be liveblogging/livestreaming major tech announcements and Wisconsin severe weather events all summer long! I am also taking a trip to California at the end of June, so be ready to hear about that. ----------------------------------------------------------...

Hey everyone it is Douglas, and this blog that I started in May 2011 and ended in December is coming back!  I have a lot to tell about, including the new URL, name, and content. If you didn't know, I starting a vlog (video blog) series on Youtube (on my original channel) called DougASchu Vlogs.  Since May, I've been making videos about Nerf, Tech, and Weather...my three main interest areas.  In late June and early July, my videos became a weekday routine.  They are a lot of fun, but also a LOT of work to make.  It takes about four hours per vlog between researching, filming, editing, and uploading the day's video.  That kind of schedule only works in early summer when I have quite a bit of free time.
