Oh my goodness, it's been a while hasn't it? Apologies to anyone who's been checking back to see if I posted anything new (might I suggest signing up for the RSS or e-mail updates? That way, new posts find you). The last month or so has been crazy, with school and holidays and all of that. I'm sure it's the same for most of you.The biggest time sink, lately, has been my classes. In the last three

Unless you've been living in a cave, or you're from another country (and probably not even then), you know that on Tuesday Barack Obama was elected as the next President of the United States.

Whoa. The new Macbooks and especially the new Macbook Pros are insane.Here's what excites me about these:The track pad is huge, supports multi touch gestures, and the whole thing is a physical button (kind of like the "click wheel" on the iPods). It's also made of glass, which is odd, but I suppose that would make them durable (glass is actually very tough in the right application), and judging
