Geek Alert!
I apologize. I really do. For those of you who aren't sworn techno-zoom-dweebies, check out now. Really.
So I got a new MacBook Pro. Love it. I mean love it. There's not much that can make me lose affection for my trusty old 12" G4 PowerBook, but the new MacBook Pro has done it. Dual Intel processors, 2GB of RAM, glossy screen - love it.
And then, this past Friday, it all went over the top. I installed Windows XP on my MacBook Pro. Windows on my Mac! I can boot into either one! If I want Mac OS X, I've got it. (And, let's be honest, that's what I want most of the time.) But when there is software that won't run on Mac OS X (for instance, TiVo To Go), I can boot into Windows and run it. It's great.
For those of you who have kept reading - probably nobody, actually - I had run Virtual PC on my Mac for a long, long time. And it was clunky. Cluuuuuuuuuunky. Slow. Horrific. But now, speedy is the word of the day. Zippy. I am writing this post on my MacBook Pro in Internet Explorer for Windows XP and it's just like working on a PC.
I am a happy little neo-zoom-dweebie.
And life is good otherwise as well. My fellow hombres, how are thee?

Duuuuuuude!
Way to go Kevbo! I mean Kevlar-bo
See? Windows ain't so bad. I had a pretty smokin G4 desk job a few years ago and tried to do that Virtual PC thing, and it was an absolute joke.
Me is fine. I owe a post. Developments. Are happening.
And Vinnissimo is out there in the wilderness looking for his Hombres, and I've been in a different part of the forest. I'm comin' to get ya, Vinnissimo. I'm on my way.
Soon.
desk job?
desktop at my last job.
hm.
I wondered about that. "Smokin' desk jobs" are rare creatures.
