Krish-mas Comes Early

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

A few things came in the mail today…

Macbook Pro and iPod Touch

iPod Touch 16GB and 16GB Corsair USB drive

I’ve opened the iPod Touch and played with it. What a marvelous gadget! I can see this forever changing my computing habits. The Corsair 16GB USB drive was a replacement unit swapped out by Newegg – the first unit I had was defective out of the box.

I still haven’t opened the MBP yet. Hoping to do that this afternoon. More to write soon.

Bong!

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I finally had a chance to set up my new Macbook Pro yesterday afternoon. I’m still installing apps, but my first impressions are positive. The screen is uniformly bright, the keyboard feels firm and solid. I’m very happy with my decision to purchase this unit instead of the new MBP (glossy screen) model.

I winded up paying $1000 less than what this machine cost when it came out. Below are some snaps from the obligatory unboxing.

PCW gets a nod in Windows IT Pro magazine

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Just in time for the holiday season, the PCW gets listed as one of the recommended gifts to get for sys-admins this year.

Guest-starring is ridiculously easy, and helps me continue work on the site. Thanks for your support! :)

Speck’d Out!

Friday, December 5th, 2008

My Speck case for my new Macbook Pro arrived this afternoon. The new case looks snazzy and does a great job protecting the outer surface of the laptop. I was able to get mine for half price as Speck Products is blowing out all their older cases with a 50% discount.

Tonight on the Javiland podcast at 6PM PST (9PM EST), show host Javier Hernandez will be talking with Jerzy Drozd, Mark Rudolph (ART & STORY podcast) Kevin Cross (MINI-COMICS DUMP TRUCK) and myself (SEQUENTIAL ARTISTS PUB) to discuss the topic of podcasts on the craft of sequential arts.

It should be a really good show, and I’m honored to be a part of the “summit”. I hope that some of you will be able to stop by and participate.
