On Saturday, my beloved 12-inch Powerbook died. His name was Max. He served me faithfully for more than two years, though he was about a year and a half or two years older than that (I bought it used after my first Powerbook died in my car wreck). I took it to MacResource today, and they diagnosed a failed Logic Board, which would cost $425 to replace. If  had enough time on my hands, I might scour eBay for a replacement and try to install it myself , but I don't. While I am really disappointed that my laptop died (and frustrated that it happened in the middle of the semester!), I'm surprised it lasted this long.

Los números no engañan: diariamente mueren más de 4.400 personas de SIDA en África, y casi 2.000 niños se infectan de VIH. La iniciativa (PRODUCT) RED del Fondo Mundial dedica hasta un 50 % de su beneficio bruto a programas contra el SIDA en África especializados en la salud de mujeres y niños. Desde su presentación, el programa (PRODUCT) RED ha contribuido con más de 50 millones de dólares al fondo. Ahora, puedes poner tu granito de arena comprando un iPod (PRODUCT) RED. Elige un iPod (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition y Apple dedicará parte del importe de tu compra al Fondo Mundial de lucha contra el SIDA en África.

In my past blogs, I've mentioned how I'm one of the only people in my school not going anywhere for spring break. My best friend, Abby, is currently in Costa Rica, enjoying the beautiful palm trees and exercising her awesome Spanish skills (she's too good at Spanish. I've been taking the language for 3 years, and I barely know how to say "Cómo Esta".) While another friend, Vasquez, just gotback from Florida, where I used to live. I miss the ocean breeze and the mist of the saltwater.

Hoy hace 7 años que se puso a la venta el software preferido por la comunidad mac-era, así que pasa no ser menos, un felicidades y que siga con tan buena salud como hasta ahora.

I just don’t understand why the removeable padded laptop case in that bag is suggesting a non-MacBook format. Whom do they expect to use equipment of such complexity in connection with a Windows machine?

Ok, I kind of don't know what to say about that comment... Suffice it to say that a lot of people are on Windows laptops. They are cheaper and extremely customizable. I work on an Asus W7S and it works like a charm. There are a lot of photographers on Windows laptops as well.

And there are a lot of 13.3 sized Windows laptops out there that fit exactly into MacBook storage solutions.

4000/1825=2.2 troops per day

BAGHDAD, March 24 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were blown up in Baghdad, pushing the U.S. military death toll in Iraq to 4,000 just days into the sixth year of a war that President George W. Bush says the United States is on track to win.

The United States lost 58,000 troops in over a decade of fighting in Vietnam until 1975, and 54,000 in the three-year-long Korean war that began in 1950.

The U.S. military played down the latest Iraqi toll, saying it was an arbitrary marker.

The good news is that I am ordering my Canon 40D tonight. I love this camera and have seen some of the work it can do by photographers much better than me (Ed Pingol and Anne Ruthmann), so I'm beyond excited. I had thrown around the idea of getting the Canon Rebel xsi when it comes out next month since it will be cheaper, but I've been told by several professionals that I need to go with the professional-level camera.

Not the first time I mention this.

I'm now the proud owner of a Macbook Pro (as some of you might have followed in my twittering) , and although there isn't a stellar difference from the old version of it the multi touch is...well...a nice touch.

So now that the technology Apple sought by acquiring Fingerworks (or their technology) is fully imbedded into the laptop's trackpad, when are we getting all the power user features Fingerworks users were so keen on?
