\nWell we are in the new year and i’m still here. Plan on keeping blogging, just been a bit crazy lately. Had a great New Years in Atlanta. Getting together with friends who I haven’t seen in a while was a lot of fun.
\nFlew up to New Haven this past weekend and drove back down with a “new” used car. That was lot of fun and a really long road trip. 18 hours. wow. by the end i was getting a little bit tired of the “road trip experience”.
\nI’ve found a slew of friends blogs out there lately. Some are from people who i haven’t seen in years. You find their site and bame- you like catch up with there life as you read. Thats fun. So i guess someone could be doing the same with me and this blog. feel free to drop me an email\/comment even if i haven’t talked to you in forver.
\nSo lets see other techy news. Apple is starting to switch to Intel. Wow. I am excited but content right now with my PowerMac G5. I would like to get a laptop- but not sure what would be the most productive for me right now. Since i mostly use adobe products and macromedia (well adobe products) those haven’t been updated to universal binaries yet. meaning one software for both current powerpc and just released intel.
\nso i don’t know. if i was a first mac buyer i would go out and buy the new imac core duo or the new macbook pro. But if i were me or another proffesional using pro apps everyday and needed a laptop or a smoking machine (powermac) i would probably get the powerpc version ie powerbook\/ibook\/powermac. I mean there going to be good for another two years and buy then all software (microsoft\/adobe\/everything else) will have a working intel\/universal binaires going on. ehh so anyway i want a laptop for my mobile projects. but who am i kidding. can’t buy one right now anyway. saving up for other toys and necessites. so maybe apple will come out with some nice refurbs. love those.
\nso hopefully the transition will be smooth. they are really going a lot faster than expected.
\ndrove around decatur today. it was nice. seeing things and checking out things i don’t normally do. found a cool coffee shop too.
\nI also plan to update my blogging software soon. Going to try out some new things. I am thinking about wordpress. not sure though.
\nand flickr— what a great website. never would i have thought a site can bring community together. just check out the atlanta one. you’ll see.
\nthats all for now…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
