<Begin Mac-vangelist Speech>
So if you’re a Mac nerd like me, yesterday was a big day. This week is the annual WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), which is the yearly mecca for all Mac software developers, and others who just pay out the nose to hear our benevolent leader Steve Jobs speak about the new products and software. I don’t even want to consider the illegal things I’d be willing to do just to get a chance to go to WWDC or Macworld…(Think happy thoughts)…that’s how Mac-crazy I am. Don’t ever say good things about Windows in my presence, cause you’ll get an earful.
Anyway, yesterday was his Steveness’ keynote address, and there were some exciting things let me tell ya. He previewed the new version of Mac OS X, (you know what that means Stephanie? Another update in the Spring, I bet you can’t wait!), and there’s some pretty cool stuff. I won’t bore you all with the details, but you can go check out Leopard’s features if you want for yourself. And if you ever want to consider switching to a Mac, I’m always here for you :) And you know what? Macs run Windows now, so you can have the best of both worlds!
<End Mac-vangelist Speech> (We now return you to your regularily scheduled knitting post)
In the knitting world I continue to chug along in anticipation of the upcoming art fair. We only have 2 weeks left, and Mom and I are both knitting as fast as time allows. I finished another cabled purse, in green, that is waiting to be lined. And I’m working on a Tea Cozy from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I think we’re going to dye some yarn this weekend which should be fun too. I’m not going to promise pictures, because I never deliver…one of these days I’ll get a digital camera.
Last night’s dinner (and today’s lunch) was pretty darn good, as evidenced by my little brother wolfing it down very quickly.
- Spicy Mahi-Mahi with Creamy Avocado Sauce
- Snap Peas with Mint
- Asian Cucumber Salad
- Apple Strudel (frozen from Trader Joes, but still very good)
That’s about all I have to report…I’ll leave you with a very cool picture of a rainbow I took from my car the other day. While at a stoplight in case you were wondering. Peace out.
I have a picture of that same rainbow- it was HUGE! When me and my husband can afford it, we’re switching to a Mac- the Windows running did it for me, and with the high speed internet, it’s nice to know that people don’t really write viruses for macs. Where’s a good place in ABQ to get one?
Hi Adam,
I started reading your blog after a comment you left in Wendi’s blog. I don’t remember what it was but I like to read your blog.
I recently switched to a Mac and I have to tell you that it has been a bit of a rough transition. Can you tell me if there is a short cut for copying and paste (as Ctrl V and Ctrl C evidently does not work). Any other Mac for dummies type tips you could provide would be useful. Is there a book that would help me? I have to admit that I haven’t invested too much time. Thanks for inviting me to ask dumb Mac questions.

OH - you’re selling stuff you’re making from pattern books? Um…better check the copyright. Usually those don’t give you permission to sell the product from the pattern.
