MACBOOK AIR + SSD = SPEED
Check out this example video of the speed benefits that a SSD gives you. I would love to see these SSD drives become more affordable so we can start installing them in our top-of-the-range MacBook PRO’s. Pure Awesome!
From Kyle Tezak’s Four Icon Challenge:
That’s what so great about icons, they’re tiny poems. I decided it would be a fun project to attempt to sum up some of my favorite books, movies, historical events, anything, with just four icons.
I got this Crumpler “Little Stevie” as my companion for my 11.6” MBA, which I will be reviewing later on my site. Apparently this bag will prevent trolls from biting you! Worth every penny!
“I decided to build my proposal-creation tool as an app built on top of WordPress”
I really enjoyed this quote, especially the mention of building web apps on top of WordPress. Something in that sentence excites me!

Probably old news for many of you, but I found out only this morning that the glitch was a global thing and not just limited to our phones at home. I’ve been offline most of the past two days.
For me it’s been another subtle reminder of how dependent our lives have become on technology and what can happen when that technology fails, especially unknowingly. In our household, it’s critical that Suzanne or I get up during the middle of each night (usually around 2am) to check on our diabetic son. His blood sugar levels can rise or lower during the night, and the latter becomes a threat if he drops too low and we don’t do something to bring his levels back up (usually by giving him a juice drink with natural sugars).
Neither of our phones have gone off the last two nights due to the glitch, and it means we’ve awoken in a minor state of panic. He’s been fine, thankfully. But for us, the glitch hasn’t necessarily been a trivial matter.
If there’s one positive thing to come of this, it’s that we’ve discovered we need to add something to our emergency preparedness kit (we live in hurricane country, you know) — an analog alarm clock.
