Excess.

Had to stay home to sign for this today.

Now I can have the following windows open and visible all at the same time:

3 terminal windows
- One for autotest
- One for server log
- One for actual CLI work
Firefox
Text Edit
Mail
Chat
Twitter
ITunes

I'm a happy camper.

Totally Worth It

OK, so I've had this new laptop for a week (upgraded from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro). At first I was really nervous that I just wanted to upgrade because I wanted the latest and greatest, but didn't really *need* the latest and greatest. It turns out that it was totally worth it.

• 4gb of RAM. I can run all the programs that I need at the same time instead of starting them up and shutting down throughout the day. In the case of making web graphics, this is a huge time savings. Text editor, App Server instances, Photoshop, Fireworks, Lightroom, MS Office, News reader, FTP client, Safari, Firefox, SQL client, iTunes, iChat OmniFocus, Mail, and half a dozen other programs all open all day long. And - I can leave one or two Windows VM instances running in the background all the time. Again, huge time savings in testing web apps.

• Rock solid. This laptop just doesn't seem to hesitate. It is always ready to go when I need it. No hardware trouble, sleeps and wakes up fast.

• Bigger screen. Awesome, more room to work.

• Metal enclosure. Feels more rugged.

• Firewire 800. Super fast external storage.

• Dual DVI out for a large external monitor.

This is my most favorite computer of all computers that I've ever owned in the last 20 years.

Week in review...

Teach your kid to respect women or we'll send him to Guantanamo Bay!



Setting up new computer this weekend:



We went to (e:Janelle) and (e:Drew) 's for an afternoon of fun on MLK day.

I won Balderdash (like always!)



Drew won Apples to Apples:



And after Drew and Janelle's soiree we went out to Left Bank for dinner (it's (e:James) and my 3 year anniversary today)



Delish!

M and M Slogans

Help me pick out what to have written on the official (e:strip) M&M's that I plan to order in time for the next party.

Here was my first thought:



But, unfortunately they do not allow swearing.

Rules: we can have two different slogans, and each one can have two lines of 8 characters each, and they must be G-rated.

Another try:
