The company from Cupertino, CA
I think I can get behind using surf breaks as a naming convention. Waimea. Rincon. Trés Palmas. Hossegor. There’s plenty to pick from. It’s endless. And there are still some breaks being found and ridden.
NeXT must’ve been the shit if OS X turned out this way. I should’ve been a Mac programmer. I would’ve been cool. I suck.

Thoughts on this thing I am typing on.
When I first picked it up: Damn this thing is small. I thought it was going to be bigger.
Now it feels like iPhone 3GS. The screen doesn’t feel too nice. It feels kind of plasticky. Plus it misses the retina display. If it had that, I think it would be worth the money. This is the 32MB wireless+cellular. It’s kind of pricy for this thing that looks like an Amazon Kindle or a Nook.
Now that I think of it this thing reminds me of my Mini. Plasticky and pricy. But you know I love my Mini. Do I like this a lot so far.
Funny review of the latest revision of OS X, Mountain Lion. It's even funnier, if you had read each and every review ArsTechnica did for each OS X version.

MacBook Pro is weezing and injured.
The laptop on the left lost its display last Tuesday. I’ve been connecting to it via screen sharing, but even that is going. It takes two or three boots before it displays itself on the network. When I mounted it as a firewire drive, it complained that the drive was bad. Running DiskUtility on it and DiskUtility wants me to copy as much off the disk as possible and reformat.
I’ve Carbon Copy Cloned her drive, but haven’t tested if the copy was good. Fingers are crossed that the back up went well, because I’m going to have to try and get her fixed up. Or maybe its time for a new laptop. A new MacBook Pro with an SSD drive!
Mountain Lion…Why am I still working at IniTech?http://daringfireball.net/2012/02/mountain_lion
Apple says, "Check and mate."I hate that I don't have one.And I hate that I am not writing applications for one.http://www.cultofmac.com/135844/why-the-ipad-is-the-most-hated-gadget-ever/
Followed a link from Kottke this morning to Susan Kare’s website. She was the original designer of many of the visual interface icons on the original Macintosh. Now I want a few prints of her classic icons. The Happy Mac. The Sad Mac. The Bomb. The Dogcow. What should I choose? Or should I let you choose for Secret Santa.
Punter! Just because you finally got a computer doesn't necessary means you've joined the digital age.This opinion piece about Steve Job's legacy by a "journalist" is one of the most ill informed things I read all year. This "journalist" doesn't realize the contributions that Apple had give to the computer age. Let's see, the original Apple I computer is one of the first computers manufactured for regular consumers. Then you have the Macintosh which ushered in the GUI. Next, you have iPhone that changed the idea of what a mass market computing device is. Finally, the iPad which is where computers are going to go in the near future. This is just from the computer age, which is what we're living in today. Technology you see today has been advanced through Apple driven by Steve Jobs.And I'm only addressing Job's impact on technology. He's very influential in design and in business practices. Plus, he did own a little movie production studio called Pixar. Ever heard of it? What a git this Robert Samuelson is.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/post/the-legacy-of-steve-jobs/2011/03/04/gIQAAhqfaL_blog.html?hpid=z3
