Slightly Remarkable

It’s great, I’ve checked various sites in various Mac-only or Mac-versioned browsers, and I’m proud of the results for the most part. The whole Mac experience has been very enjoyable and enlightening, from conversations with Mac Geniuses (they call them “geniuses” instead of “technicians” — awesome, isn’t it?) to the use of software that comes with the Mac such as GarageBand, iMovie HD, the Dashboard, Safari, and all the cool visual stuff that this thing does. It’s just awesome. Plus, it came with one of those iRemotes that Steve Jobs uses in his keynotes. I’m sitting here on my laptop, about 3 feet from my Mac, and can control the music that comes out of my sound system. I just finished transferring my 6GB+ iTunes music library to my Mac, which gives my laptop more space for other work. I haven’t attempted to install Photoshop yet, but I’m confident it’ll work a charm. In any case, I just wanted to update everyone, and brag to those of you who are Macless. :)

As to where I have been for the past week, well, I took a one-week late spring break, helped my brother move into a new home (stayed up for about 36 hours doing that, for the ensuing 48 hours I was pooped), and turned seventeen on the 31st. I was treated to my Mac Mini and, in addition, to the theater where I saw Ice Age: The Meltdown. The movie’s funny, the Mac’s great, school still sucks, and this weekend I’ll be out of town doing a competition with my good personal friend Ryan Gabbard.
