2011

Going to VCP5 class all next week, hope to have my test done shortly after that. Want to be one of the first certified engineers in my firm.

Ordered a Valentine 1 radar detector today. Gotta keep tabs on the man keeping tabs on me.

Hey Apple, I don’t have anything to do this afternoon, if you wanna release iOS 5 beta 8 that would be awesome. #justsaying #kthxbye

Finally broke down and did it… installing Windows 8 (in a VM)

I’m finding the Internet boring tonight. Maybe I’m getting close to the end?

To everyone all excited about Windows 8, remember that excitement after TouchPad & webOS 3? Wait until delivery, then see if you’re excited.

Sorry, but the Windows tablet experience just doesn’t do it for me.

Just discovered CoRD. Far superior RDP client for OS X than the Microsoft one. (Plus is Free/Open Source) cord.sourceforge.net

I always want to call people out for being wrong, but I’ve found it’s not the best way of maintaining friendships. #foodforthought

I’ve been sucked into watching retrospectives about 9/11. Hard to do, still amazing to think about that day. I was a senior in high school.

I miss having that Obama as my President. How did they pull him back from 2008?

I hated seeing “f***** me over” in all these stories about Yahoo. Just say FUCKED … it won’t hurt you.

Giving up Google search for a while, just to see if I can, going to try and Bing it for as long as possible. #justcause

ClickToPlugin in Safari, love it. Almost seems native.

Of course I’ve been using Lightroom for close to 4 years now. The work flow just makes more sense to me.

Tried Aperture this weekend as a possible switch from Lightroom. Couldn’t do it, found it unintuitive and lacking features.

Headed out to shoot engagement photos for some friends. Perfect weather for it!

I know how to get files off a PC/Windows box to my Mac, what’s the best way to go the other way?

App Store seems be be behaving normally now.

Is anyone else having issues with the iTunes store? Keeps telling me my account is unavailable.

Today makes me very happy I chose to move on to other employment last month.
