Spring Cleaning: 15″ MacBook Pro, 30″ Cinema Display and OLPC XO Laptop on eBay
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 | Tom Carmony
It’s been a busy start to 2008 for Bainbridge Studios, but one thing I’ve been meaning to do for weeks now is get some computer hardware up on eBay to clear out. Having recently switched to a new 2.4 GHz MacBook (Black) as my main machine, I’m selling my previous workhorse, a 2.33 Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, along with a BookEndz docking station and my mammoth 30″ Cinema Display (the new MacBook can’t drive a 30″ at full resolution, so I’ve downgraded to a new 23″ Cinema Display).
I’ve got all three up now on eBay, along with the XO laptop we acquired from the One Laptop Per Child program’s “Give a Laptop, Get a Laptop” program back in December.
If you’re interested in any of these items, you can check them out now on eBay:
15″ MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD
30″ Apple Cinema Display
BookEndz Docking Station for 15″ MacBook Pro
OLPC XO Laptop
Update (5/28/08 – 10:15am PDT): The 30″ Cinema Display has sold, but bidding is open on the MacBook Pro and the BookEndz, and the Buy It Now is still in place for the XO.
Update (5/30/08 – 11:30am PDT): The OLPC XO Laptop has now sold.

Website Launch: Vanessa Minnillo
Monday, January 28th, 2008 | Tom Carmony
We’re very pleased to announce the launch of the new official website for television personality Vanessa Minnillo. Ms. Minnillo, the former host of MTV’s TRL and a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, has been working with Bainbridge Studios over the past year on developing a new online presence, which is now live. We’ll be working with Ms. Minnillo over the coming weeks and months on expanding the site and its content.
2008 Macworld Keynote: The Small Business Perspective
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 | Tom Carmony
Yet another Steve Jobs Macworld keynote presentation is in the books and, as would be expected, the Apple faithful are all abuzz. As a major fan (and consumer) of Apple’s products, Jobs’ annual keynote is very much the equivalent of Christmas morning for (Mac) geeks. Present company included.
At the moment, most of the buzz coming out of this morning’s presentation is surrounding the new MacBook Air, Apple’s almost-but-not-quite-ultra-portable notebook computer. Weighing in at less than three pounds and barely 3/4″ inch, it’s clearly one sexy machine, and one that I’m sure will sell like crazy.
Sitting back and digesting this year’s event, I’m focusing on today’s announcements from the perspective of a small business owner; what did Steve Jobs unveil that we can really incorporate into our workflow to help us work better, faster and more efficiently for our clients?
