I’m still working on three different templates at once.  My laptop is really lagging because Photoshop hasn’t been closed since Friday afternoon.  Hopefully I’ll be able to put a few final touches on things tonight and get the chance to shut down for the evening.  My laptop IS on the verge of death though.  I’m not sure if I’m going to have to reinstall window or upgrade the RAM at some point, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens.

I have been looking into new laptops.  I really can’t afford to buy one at this very moment but that hasn’t stopped me from looking.  Naturally I’d love to pick up a fully loaded 17″ MacBook Pro but who really has $4200 to kick around on a laptop these days?

I’m staying more in the $800 max range.  I know that may not seem like much but I can get everything I’m looking for and still have the ability to run Mac OS X so naturally that works out well for me.  All I need is an Intel based laptop with at least 2GB of RAM and the rest is history.  I’ll install my Leopard disk after wiping out the very annoying Vista installation and then take it from there.  I’ve found an ACER laptop that’s reasonably priced for what I’m looking for but unfortunately I’ve read reviews that note ACER is the worst Intel laptop to run Mac on - a lot of issues there.

So I guess I’ll see what I can do with an HP. Costco has some really well-priced ones and I can order it online when I’m ready - instead of trucking it all the way up to Dover to pick it up.  I would never be dumb enough to purchase a laptop from Best Buy, with that huge lawsuit against them and my true dislike for the store there would really be no point in it, you know?

As for “Site News”, I’m hoping to convert this domain over to a true photo blog but I have to come up with a better template that will show off the images a lot better, instead of just having them pasted in the entry.  I’ve found a Flickr based plug-in that makes it very simple to do that, this way I don’t have to load up my disk space here but I’ll see over time.  I have other priorities at the moment, getting the bills paid being the main one right now.

I guess I should get back to work.  It’s knocking on 12PM, I want to be done with everything by 1am so I can crash for the night - get up bright and early to start my Monday and take on the rest of the week with a clear head and loads of creativity - something the Photography is really helping me with.  It used to be the beach, but now it’s just getting the camera in my hands and looking for all kinds of great photo opportunities!
