This story is an update on me and what is going on at the moment. Last Saturday, my roommates and I were helping our neighbors move into a new apartment. In the process of everything, I received a severe injury that includes a fractured skull, a concussion, and a seizure all at the same time. I had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital to receive medical attention. Because it is a head injury I have no memory of what happened. All I know is that I was unloading my roommates truck and next thing I know, I am in a hospital bed with my parents overlooking me. I was out for about 8 to 9 hours and it has been a very scary event. This was all last weekend and I am doing better at the moment. I still have day long headaches but they are starting to subside now.
Mac OS X Leopard
Today I had the opportunity to try out the latest beta of Mac OS X Leopard. My boss had just arrived yesterday from WWDC in San Francisco and he installed the WWDC Leopard build on our G5 in lab. I am happy with the way Leopard is coming along. I find myself wishing I had Stacks in Tiger right now because they truly are useful and helpful. I am extremely happy that Apple made the decision to get rid of the brushed metal interface and made the entire operating system look and feel the same.
Transformers Novelization
I picked up the Transformers Novelization of the movie the other day and read it over the course of a couple of days. I must say that I am very happy with the story and how events take place. The character development, I think is great and a lot of other little details for those who would question the “reality” of the story. This next few sentences might be considered a spoiler to some, so I warned you.
New Mac Book Pro’s Released
Today Apple has unveiled a significant update to its Mac Book Pro line of computers. This update includes LED displays, which will help out with battery life of the machine and the display no longer has to take time to reach full brightness. It is instant upon power on now thanks to the new LED displays.
Quicksilver for Windows
If you are a hard core Mac OS X user, chances are you have heard of Quicksilver. Quicksilver is really hard to categorize as far as what kind of application it is, but if it is anything, it’s a glorified application launcher. Its faster then Spotlight in many cases when it comes to searching for an application that you want to launch. Quicksilver, with the use of plug-ins, can also open up folders, search the web, archive files, etc. Quicksilver can practically do anything and its designed so that your hands never have to leave the keyboard.
