Setup an iMac in my family room, trying to create a cozy work environment for the holidays.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it." - Steve Jobs (via hrrrthrrr)
Kottke Writes About The Apple Upgrade Problem
Deep down, when I stop to think about it, I know (or have otherwise convinced myself) that these purchases were worth it and that Apple’s ease of upgrade works almost exactly how it should. But my gut tells me that I’ve been ripped off. The “newness” cognitive jolt humans get is almost entirely absent. I don’t know if Apple is aware of this (I’d guess yes) and don’t know if it even matters to them (because, like I said, this is the way that it should work…and look at those sales figures), but it’s got to be having some small effect. People want to feel, emotionally speaking, that their money is well-spent and impeccable branding, funny commercials, and the sense of belonging to a hip lifestyle that Apple tries to engender in its customers can only go so far.

New stuff over at Apple. The new Mac mini isn’t what I’d hoped it to be. Maybe this should have been a Twitter update.
Jer and his latest purchase.
Nothing too exciting, just a Incase White 15” Slim Sleeve for the MacBook Pro and a Incase White Slider Case for the iPhone. I call it the ultimate Incase combo.
Two Apples Not Enough Space
Alright my fellow Apple geeks, here’s the situation. Julie and I have two iMac G5’s (both running Leopard) that are running out of hard drive space. Both are in perfect working order and have never given me any problems. Do I:
a. Trade both in for an iMac 24-inch (with 4GB’s of ram and 1TB HD) - $2,699
b. Trade both in for a Mac Pro (with 4GB’s of ram, 1TB HD and 30in Display) - $5,798
c. Trade both in for a 15-inch MacBook Pro (320GB HD) - $2,699
d. Keep both of the iMac G5’s and purchase a 1TB External HD - $300
e. Keep one of the iMac G5’s and purchase a 15-inch MacBook Pro (320GB HD) - $2,699
Three things to note:
1. I probably have six months before I need to make this decision.
2. I have a MacBook Pro, supplied by my work that I always have on me but don’t like storing personal data on.
3. Having one computer would give me some much needed desk space. So the title of this post is appropriate on two different levels.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’m torn.
3 Macs are better than 1. Note to self: Install Aperture already.
