Sorry I haven’t posted here recently. I’ve been posting over at Bilgistic somewhat regularly. Lately, I’ve been consumed with the planning of Startup Riot which I introduced at a Startup Dinner. Things should calm down after May 19th but until then, read Bilgistic and sign up for Startup Riot if you’re interested. If you’re really wondering what I’m doing, the best place to catch me is on Twitter.
I know I’ve been hinting at a post about my new computing rig. I just got a new toy this last week that I’m going to use for my post. So it’s coming - probably next week. I’ve also been told that I should quit building machines and just buy an Apple. Yeah, no. The build was a bunch of fun because I was able to do it with my kids (my son now can identify computer parts unprompted and asked me what I was doing with a hard drive I just got - he’s 5 BTW).
In the meantime, I just saw this Wall Street Journal article which talks about problems that this journalist had when he switched to a Mac. You Apple fanatics, take heart - the most important part of the video comes in the last 10 seconds.
After a few back and forth emails (the initial ones were responded to with form letter responses), I think I got a real reply. Although it isn’t at all satisfying. Relevant snippet below.
