One year with a Mac

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

It’s funny, I use to be a “PC Guy” and hated console gaming and Mac. Now if you asked me, I’d consider myself a “Mac Guy” and 99% of the gaming I do is on a console. My, how times have changed.

A year ago next month, will be when I purchased my first Mac. It was intended as an experiment, me and some friends had delusions of grandeur and planned on making some iPhone apps. That hasn’t happened, not to say it will never, as there are a couple of apps that I’d like to see, but I’m not there yet.

Over the past year, my Windows rig (Vista, C2D @ 2.53 GHz, 2 GB RAM, ATI HD 4870 512) has been neglected, only turned on to run Quicken when I’m balancing the checkbook. Even that came to an end as I found something that fills my needs on the Mac. So, what software do I use? What Mac software replaced my Windows software? Let’s take a look. (more…)

Puppies!

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Sometime between 11 pm on July 23 and 6 am on July 24, Farrah and I became grandparents. Vienna had three puppies, which she delivered all by her self. I’m sitting in the living room watching TV and I hear squeaking coming from the dogs area in the dining room. A quick investigation, and I find three puppy girls. Very cute! :D

Here are some videos I’ve taken of them so far. They are just under two weeks old now and their eyes/ears still haven’t opened yet but they are doing good and getting fat. Looks like all three are going to be long haired like the father (Oskar).
