Life on LBI: December 2006 Archives

Wishing our friends and family a very special Christmas. Santa obviously wants me to do more work at night from home rather than going back to the office—he brought me a new "work enabling device" otherwise known as MacBook Pro. "Taking work home" is a part of life when you own a business. Problem has been that what I need to do my older G3 powerbook just couldn't keep up, so I found myself heading back to the office a lot at night. Not exactly fun to always be leaving Krissy and Lo alone at home and not exactly fun to wait 10 minutes for Photoshop to finish a task on a high res image. The G3 doesn't owe us a thing, it's been well used and abused for four years and will become our house web and email machine. So, here it is, the first blog post on the new machine. I've got a lot to get used to on this thing. Apple really made a lot of tremendous improvements over the G3. another piece of Apple's incredible design and engineering. And yes, we do own apple stock. And yes, Apple today is nothing like the Apple of yesteryear. Steve Jobs and his team has really rocked out a nice product.

I think all signmakers install Christmas lights this way. Big boys get to "play" with their toys and the little boys get to see what Daddy gets to do all day. Now of course, all I hear is "Daddy, can we go to Typestries in Manahawkin and get the white bucket truck?" For the record for the hecklers the two of us DO NOT exceed the bucket weight limit. It's close, though!
