I didn’t get many words today either. I transitioned from SA to Central TX today. My new dvorak keyboard was waiting for me on the porch. Learning is slow but going more quickly than I thought it would go. “A” and “M” are the same. I keep reversing “O” and … Continue reading →
In November 2008, I purchased a basic Mac Mini for whatever the price was — I think it was $599. I had decided to make the leap from Windows XP to Mac OS. I was leery, but many of friends had been using Macs for years and swore by them … Continue reading →

We’re working in San Antonio for a couple of weeks. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, but the transition between houses seems to have thrown the kittens for a loop — especially Tarzan. I went to the Apple Store for a little while tonight and perused the new MacBookPros, iPad2s, and … Continue reading →
The new camera was at the PO Box this morning, a Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR. So I mailed off the completed tax return (61 cents postage) and picked up the camera. I’d checked the measurements, and it was supposed to be about the same size as my Sony, but in reality, … Continue reading →
