Back in February, someone broke into our house while we were at work (paying for all of the stuff they were stealing!). They kicked the door in and made off with a ton of stuff.

One of the laptops was... Full Entry »
Since I can remember, my photo management and organization software of choice was Picasa. It wasn't long after I received my first Mac that I switched to iPhoto. I know Picasa has all the online features but those aren't things I ever used anyway.

I ended up with a 15" Macbook Pro 164gb SSD and I got my wife a 13" Macbook Air. We both loved those things. My wife even enjoyed the switch, which... Full Entry »
