So I see today apple unleashed a couple of cool new things today. Like many I was expecting a new laptop, but not really this thing. It seems the only thing about this guy that grabs me is the thinness of it. It just looks way to chinsy for my careless ass. I was hoping for a smaller version of the macbook pro. Same look, only smaller with a 12” wide screen. It’s appears to be the same size as the mac book, only thinner. No optical drive, only one usb port, and no firewire drives me away. Looks like I will continue to proceed with my previous decision.
I do like the idea of this time capsule thing. I mean, theres nothing at all revolutionary about it, but if it works well with the macs on your network, thats a pretty good backup solution thats decently priced.
In personal news, I dont really have much news at all. I am now a (semi) proud home owner, so I guess thats news. Between the holidays, getting things squared away with this house and being sick as a dog, I haven’t had any motivation but do much else but sit around and surf the web. I do have plans though. Even though I’m off to a slow start, this year I resoluted to hit the gym hard, blog more, and write more music. I am still in the process of re-vamping this site. Due to the the reasons mentioned above, I lag. I have really moved away from making it look cool and focused on the functionality and usability. Which involves a bit of hacking wordpress by getting elbows deep in some php code.
Soon have a new place to live, a new lab to set up, and new hardware to play with. If this isn’t enough motivation, I dont know what it is.
