Switched to Apple / Mac

It’s Alive!

December 10th, 2009

It’s hard to believe it has been a little over four years since I started this blog. Moreover, it is also a bit shocking when I realize that I have not posted to it in almost a year! Life can be like that sometimes. You get busy with work, family, life, etc. and before you realize it a substantial chunk of time has passed. I suppose the old saying “life is what happens while you are busy making plans” holds true like so many similar phrases we hear in our life.

A lot has happened in the last year and so even though it is still December, I wanted to do a year in review post. I was at Macworld once again this year working the booth with the 1Password crew and let me tell you that being stuck in a booth for all of Macworld vs. being an attendee are two completely different things. It was a lot of work and a many hours a day on your feet. The upside was that we needed some Macs for the booth and renting them is practically the cost of new ones so a deal worked out where I ended up with two brand spanking new loaded 24″ iMacs. I realize that I have railed against the new iMacs in the past for their terrible keyboards and mirror screen but I have grown comfortable with the glossy screen and it looks awesome as long as lighting conditions are favorable. I also picked up a new Airport Extreme base station even though the flying saucer version is still in service as well. Later in the year I finally ended up with an iPhone. The 3GS is very nice and having the network connectivity available everywhere makes it much more useful than an iPod touch. Sadly, AT&T’s rates are not the greatest and this will become a fancy iPod very soon.

I’m hoping to have a special deal coming up soon for those that actually make it here so be on the lookout for that.
