Thunderbolt Technology
- Dual-channel, each 10 Gbps
- Bi-directional, equally fast in both directions
- Dual protocol, PCI Express for hard disks and DisplayPort for monitors
- Daisy-chain-able, supports up to six devices per channel
- Woks with both copper and fiber cabling, fiber allows longer cable runs
- Low latency, very, VERY short delays in transferring signals
- Delivers up to 10 watts of power over copper wiring, but not fiber, to support bus-powered devices. (Though this is not enough for most hard disks)

Thought of the Day
Happy 50th Issue MacAddict | Mac|Life
I don’t post much on Apple these days simply because everyone is on board now – it’s definitely not as unique of a hobby or fad as it used to be. However, in honor of MacLife’s 50th issue – lets take a look at some of their 50 reasons why they love Apple.
[Read Full] and follow along.
#48 – The Clamshell iBooks: This one is purely for you MattMatt.
#43 – Clarus the Dogcow: So many stories.
#41 – The Newton: Taken for granted.
#40 – The Packaging: Often overlooked.
#39 – Support for Education: My entire technical background came in Elementary School (Not Lying)
#35 – The Power Mac G4 Cube: Put on Ice = Hello Mac Mini.
#31 – Great Commercials: 1984.
#27 – System 7: Multitasking – This one if for you Brett Foncannon.
#22 – Woz: We are happy you are alive Woz – thanks for all the parties.
#20 – The 2010 MacBook Air: The one product I don’t have that I want.
#19 – iMovie: The original iMovie changed my life.
#16 – The Apple II: Specifically the Apple IIe + Lemonade Stand + Logo + Winter and Summer Olympics = framed my childhood. Thanks Mom + Dad.
#14 – Mac OS isn’t Windows: You already know.
#9 – Product-Announcment Events: Try it yourself.
#8 – The iPod: Do you still have your original 5GB with spinning wheel?
#3 – Steve Jobs: Need u say anymore?
#2 – The First Macintosh: 3rd grade was amazing.
#1 – The Apple Community: Unfortunately this community is too large to be an Apple nut like I used to be. I’ve actually found myself looking for something new? And have found these smaller + creative communities that will continue to grow on passion alone.
Walking Down the Stairs… on a Pole
[iDevice Link] <— 2,293 In support of my sister Sheila, I am reposting this. In all honesty, I would probably throw this stripper a buck or two. If she’s not an adult entertainer – I apologize… I was purely judging on behalf of her name only.
@2:20 when she walks down the stairs… on a pole = pretty amazing.
Good luck sister.
Anthem – Mountaintop Poker
[View Full] <— 58 views Good friend Ted Church with Anthem Branding in Boulder, Colorado is starting to play with video.
All I have to say is I love it — Make more.
Holy IKEA
Since we are finally getting our own IKEA here in Denver… the creative behind the Vasteras, Sweden IKEA caught my eye – And the store isn’t even oven yet.
Very interesting, but they need more video. [View Full]
Agency: Forsman & Bodenfors
Art Director: Janna Norberg
Client: IKEA
Copywriter: Marcus Hagglof
Digital Producer: Stefan Thomson
Production Company: Map Jack
Go Mines
The new Hoover Dam bridge is complete… with huge Mines influence. If I were to remain in the civil engineering program when I actually applied myself in school studies – one day they would write up a project like this about me.
This was a gigantic engineering feat and a very interesting read.
Red Bull – Bonifay’s Double or Nothing
Summer is coming and I haven’t caught up with wakeboarding lately. Damn.
Test Drive Day

Jackson Hole – Tilt Shifted
[iDevice Link] <— 27,200 Miniature movies are scouring the internets. Whistler Blackcomb, Disneyland, and now Jackson Hole. This credit goes out to Tristan Greszko via GNAR.
Who Likes Wood?
[iDevice Link] <— 295 views Straight from Creativity
Japanese agency Drill Inc. got back to nature in this stunning spot promoting the wood-encased NTT DoCoMo SH-08C phone, set for launch later this year. The agency created a giant wooden xylophone in the middle of the forest. A wooden ball rolls down the instrument to play the keys, each of which make up individual notes of Bach’s Cantata 147, aka “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire.” According to Drill Inc. creative director Morihiro Harano in the NYTimes, the xylophone was the real deal and no soundtrack was added.
Lets go ahead and start recapping our favorite projects made from wood – or bamboo.
The Cellular Revolution
[iDevice Link] <— 100,585 Who doesn't love a couple old school vintage cellphone commercials? Nice share RJ — watch 9 more via this [link].
Highlights:
“500 million telephone subscribers in the world world world world world world world!”
“Horn alert option included.”
“Optional battery available for TRUE portable use.”
“Yah – I got all my guys working on it right now!”
“Eventually – seeing people using cellular phones may seem as common place as someone checking time on an ELECT-tronic watch.”
Level 1 — Parker White Does Japan
[iDevice Link] <— 5,467 Straight from the horses mouth... can't wait to see more skiing content drop regarding Level 1's new movie "After Dark."
“Monster athlete Parker White made his way to Hokkaido, Japan with Level 1 for two weeks in February to chase pow, pillows, and Japanese schoolgirls. The crew saw as much sun as snow for the duration of the trip, but a few smaller cycles dumped enough snow to make it all worthwhile. Parker gives us the rundown on his first experience in the Land of the Rising Sun, and a look at some of the B-shots and outtakes. Stay tuned for more updates, info, and behind-the-scenes antics from Level 1’s Fall 2011 release, “After Dark.”
TC Bank – Dream Rangers
[iDevice Link] <— 2,490,544 Obviously - the power of this advertisement would increase 10 fold had someone just randomly re-created this "based on a true story" story of 5 Taiwanese friends who spent 13 days traveling around Taiwan in memory of their lost friends But then it wouldn't be an advertisement - and we probably would watch it. Genius.
