Getting an iMac was very exciting. I documented it in a series of photos taken by Daniel. One day I will re-post some of my favorites, but for now enjoy this art shot of my butt..
March 3, 2008Yesterday morning at 6:45am, my Windows machine was powered down and finally retired to the back of my closet. It was a momentous occasion for sure, though there were no doves released at the end. Last night after work, I sat down to clean up the desk area and finish putting the computer in its resting place. Personally, I cannot believe how much space I…
February 29, 2008I have finally connected my iMac to my Windows PC via Firewire Cable. It blazes along at 600+ KB/s but still takes 3 hours to transfer 11GB of data. It is about half the time that it took over my wireless internet. I started to doubt whether I actually needed the files off the old computer, but I decided to put the raw AVI files…
February 27, 2008Day 2 of having the 24″ iMac in the house has been going well. I can not believe how easy they have made setting everything up. So far there have been a few learning curves here and there. For example – the Mighty Mouse does not do the right-mouse thingy that I have grown attached to over the years. I have an extra Intellimouse lying…
February 22, 2008I kept heading out to the parking lot of my complex tonight hoping to see the last total lunar eclipse until 2010. Sadly, mother nature had other ideas and the sky was mostly cloudy. I did get a brief glimpse of the moon just before it went total, but then I started to get cold and went inside. Oh well. Some random neighbor of mine…
February 20, 2008Not much going on in the world of Club Josh these days. I have been busy with work. The biggest thing I have been agonizing over is the purchase of a new computer. I pretty much have settled on a new iMac, its just a matter of getting up the nerve to actually press the buy now button on the Apple web site. I wish…
February 18, 2008There is a good chance that in the next few weeks I will take the plunge and get a new computer. I am still undecided as to what I will actually get, but I am heavily leaning iMac. I know, I have had a Windows PC since 1989, but I have had way to many issues with hijacked computers and pop ups. Let alone the…
February 7, 20082007 Dir: David Yates I finally caught this movie from Netflix and I have to say that while enjoyable, this seemed to be a “lite” feature. There was not much really going on other than Harry brooding around the place and other than Neville, the rest of the characters experienced zero development (OK, Harry did get a first kiss, but that is about it). Having…
February 7, 2008This past week I have made it through a few DVDs in between training shifts. First up: Meet the Robinsons I missed this Disney CGI movie when it came out last year. It was the first time since Chicken Little I missed one in the theaters (heck I even saw Home on the Range in theaters). Maybe its something against CGI. At any rate, I…
