Proof and the compulsory fanboy photo

Here’s something I’m sure some people never expected to see me working on…

My new toy

So far, so good. I’m not having too much difficulty getting things setup the way I like, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by silly little things that are just nice. For example, the fact that the power cord is magnetized on the end, so I only have to get it close to the connector on the laptop. For some reason that seems pretty cool to me. 🙂

I am not overly impressed with the touchpad, but I generally dislike touchpads anyway. Luckily, my MS wireless mouse works just great!

Once I have the OSX side setup the way I want, it’ll be time to get VMWare Fusion and get a Windows VM setup. Responses on that last entry seem to favor just using a VM instead of Bootcamp so far. Thanks for the feedback!

I’m not exactly sure what I thought I was getting into when I decided to give Mr. Tweet a try. They advertise their service as “Who Should I Follow? – Mr. Tweet looks through your extended network to help you build effective relationships on Twitter.” To me, that meant they were going to check out…

ToDoList

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I saw a mention of this tool come across one of the Lit Support mailing lists today, and thought it sounded pretty interesting. It’s called ToDoList: ToDoList is a rare form of task management tool, one that allows you to repeatedly sub-divide your tasks into more manageable pieces whilst still presenting a clean and intuitive…
