Here is a run down of the new goodies Steve has brought us today:

  • No new iPods, however we do get an FM receiver as an accessory
  • Mac OS X 10.4.4 has Widgets!
  • iLife 2006 has lots of great new features. No FrontRow, No iPhoto/Flickr integration, everything is .Mac, No iTunes updates.
  • iWork 2006 has no features, no spreadsheet. I guess we are still stuck with AppleWorks
  • iMac first Mac to be offered with Intel chip (Intel Core Duo). Available today. Man my iMac G5 is looking old in the tooth and it is not even a year old!
  • Ok, so 10.4.4 is completely native with Universal binaries as are iLife ‘06 and iWork ‘06. Pro apps will be universal in March.
  • I hope 10.4.4 brings an updated iSync to sync to my new SE W600i
  • MacBook Pro, rip Powerbook. Intel Core Duo inside. 15.4″, iSight, $1999 (1.67 Ghz) and $2499 (1.83 GHz) buy today, ship in February.

What no new iPod Shuffle? Powerbooks? iBooks? Mac Mini? DVR? Plasma screens?

Update: A QuickTime stream of the Jobs keynote is now available.

Tape 2448.01 [Game Plan], Senior Pastor Jeff Jones

Game Plan: Playing to Win.

Selected Verses

Passion

Play to Win: 1 Corinthians 9:24

As was Paul’s, our number one goal should be “Knowing Christ and making Christ known to others.”

Examples of Paul’s passion: Romans 1:15,16; Philippians 3:7-14; 2 Corinthians 5:13-15.

It is our responsibility to keep our hearts for God buring red-hot.

Focus

We must funnel our passion to be highly effective.

Advantages:

  • Guides decision-making
  • Gives confidence in life
  • Transforms dreams in realities

Evaluate

  1. Am I playing to win?
  2. How focused am I?

In-VINCE-able!

Hook’em horns…

Congratulations on defeating one the most overhyped teams ever and shutting up the national sports media and the California crowd. Hey, Red States win again!

One more thing, let’s review the last 3 BCS National Champions :

  • 2003 - LSU
  • 2004 - USC
  • 2005 - Texas

Vince Young, you are one great player man. Stay true to yourself and turn pro…give my Aggies a chance next year!

Anyone see Leinart’s post game interview? What a sore loser. He should take a few lessons from Reggie Bush, stay humble in defeat.

I can’t wait to see what great pictures from Pasadena and from Austin show up on Flickr in the coming days.
