Being a filler post before the good stuff...

Posted January 9, 2005 12:13 AM.

A while back I started getting really interested in home entertainment appliances and the future of pervasive computing in the home and stuff, but I haven't really had enough time to really pursue my thoughts in this area too much. But earlier this year I started trying to assemble a picture in my head of what an Apple home entertainment appliance for the home would look like and how it would work. I had a really interesting conversation around this stuff with Kevin Marks in August or something, which got me fired up a bit more and several more with people at work that were variably useful. At a certain point I determined that pretty much everything I was thinking about was pretty unadventurous and everyone knew it already so I kind of left my sketches and doodles aside and only fiddled with them when no one was looking. Well anyway, the long and the short of it is that everyone's now speculating about what Apple are going to release next week and a fair few of the speculations are unsurprisingly in the same path as my doodles were - particularly the fake mock-ups of an Apple Media Centre that have been circulating and Webb's recent thoughts. So I'm going to try and drag everything together as quickly as possible and slap it up over the next 24 hours while it still might be of some limited interest to people... Um... That's the lot for now, though...
