Upgraded my Macbook’s HD to 500GB

Moving in: The First Weekend
The first weekend of moving in went extremely well. Instead of doing a one-time big-time thing, we opted to do things nice and slow. I think that decision was a good thing.

Reparenting the Child Within: The Day After
I thought I'll be able to go to work today but I guess I was wrong.

Don’t let the flames die down

Silver Linings
What a tiring day it was. I had three meetings today but I'm glad I was able to cross out a number of items in my to-do list. Projects are starting to pile up. I think there are mire than eight of them on my lap and each one wants to be on top priority,... Continue Reading →
