For the rest of you, happy Saturday.

To be more specific, I’m having a hell of a good time with all the people I’m with, and the food has been awesome. The weather has been fantastic, and the city itself is swank, as always.

The problem is the convention itself.

See, when you go to a comic convention, you wanna see publishers there. If your convention is missing DC Comics or Marvel Comics or Image Comics, it kinda makes the whole thing seem a little lackluster. If you’re missing all three, it makes the convention seem really poor. When you’re a comic convention being put on by the biggest comic book magazine in the country, that’s even worse.

Seems like everyone threw their lot in with the Heroes Convention in North Carolina, which does not bode well for Wizard. Hopefully, things will pick up tomorrow, but we’ll see how that goes.

Heading off to Philadelphia for cheese steaks, insanity and the Wizard World Comic Convention And Box Social. If you’re there, send me a message on Twitter (like ‘@eDThomas I’m here too! God, you’re good looking!’) to meet up and see which of us is nerdier.

Videos, tweeting and blogging will be the orders of the weekend, so be prepared for a crapload of updates. I love you all.

This weekend, I’ll be Tweetin‘, bloggin’ and videoin‘ from Philadelphia, PA, for my yearly trek to Wizard World: Philadelphia, where the orders of the day will be participating in massive amounts of nerdism and mass consumption of cheese steaks. It’ll be good times all-around.

After I come back, I’ll be back at work for something like a day then going to the launch party for the Nokia N97 with m’boy Scott at some club called Marquee in Manhattan.

Following that, I suppose I’ll be back to the countdown to A Million High Fives. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that for a while… Maybe 15, 20 minutes tops.

ITEM: iPhone OS X 3.0!
We already know the new iPhone OS will have the long-promised push notifications for applications, cut, copy and paste (finally), MMS messaging (’bout time), landscape keyboard support in all applications (thank you), phone-wide Spotlight search, stereo Bluetooth support, and phone-to-phone connectivity for contact sharing and gaming.

I think the only thing we’re really expecting to hear about the new firmware is an actual release date. Which will likely line up with…

ITEM: New iPhone!
Expected to range in sizes from 4GB to 32GB, the new iPhone is supposed to have video recording support, an auto-focus, higher-resolution camera, a magnetometer for compass apps and to tell the GPS chip what direction you’re facing, and faster 3G connectivity. Rumors have claimed that Apple will abandon the shiny finish of the current 3G iPhone in favor of a matte finish, which would be awesome, since the current back shows smudges and fingerprints like crazy.

ITEM: Snow Leopard
The next release of OS X should also be talked about today, giving an overview of the changes between Leopard and Snow Leopard, a majority of which are performance improvements and the like. The Marble interface, which can be seen in current versions of iTunes, is not expected to be a part of Snow Leopard, which is disappointing, ’cause I’m really tired of the Aqua interface, with its annoying blue scroll bars.

Yes, the blue scroll bars annoy me. Don’t judge me.

ITEM: Apple Notebook Updates
The rumor of Apple updating their notebook line and rebranding all aluminum unibody MacBooks as part of the MacBook Pro line have been floating about, but I think it’s unlikely.

ITEM: Steve Jobs’ Return
While I think Mac Daddy will be in the audience, I don’t think he’ll take the stage… he might be ready to come back after his 6 month leave of absence, but I think a big part of what Apple has been trying to prove in that time is that the company doesn’t need El Jobso to survive anymore, and taking the stage would be counterproductive to that cause. That being said, I can also see Ol’ Mock Turtleneck And Jeans not putting his ego aside and taking control of the new iPhone portion of the event, so it really could go either way.

That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head… I’ll be liveblogging based on the streams of Engadget, TUAW, MacRumors and Ars Technica, as well as following updates on Twitter and tweeting about it myself so people like Scott don’t miss out on anything.

The keynote kicks off at 10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern, in case you weren’t aware. I’ll talk to you all then.
