Time For Another Cali Lewis Post
She went away for a while, but now back to her shiny, happy tech news.
Most girls speak fast when they feel the need or not, but she actually knows what she's talking about.
I happen to know that she, like Morgan Webb
writes most of her material.
Two seriously smart chicks (average IQ=165) who love Apple. I may have to move to the West Coast (what, and miss all these hurricanes?)
Here Cali, in her five-minute fit, gets enthused about obscure references to solar panels and 1500 milliamp batteries sown in the back of some new toy.
After you come down from their "high," here's good advice:
If you have a Mac, and Safari is your browser, welcome to Nirvana:
Instant dropdown direct links from the search box literally as you type.
It's Google on coke.
Fast download. Free.
If you are still running a Windows PC, well - I'm sure you'll have a decent day.
Could be worse.
Could be raining in England.
Could be worser. High School grammar teacher rescinds your diploma.
Could be even more and more worse, DVR stuck on "General Hospital." Don't know how to turn off the automatic recording.
Caught a show or two in October, 2006, just to see Laura and Luke again. Now - I know more about the "GH" family tree than Integrated Program Management or situational ethics.
Reprise for the girls. I think Springfield has a long-awaited hit tune here. If you think it sounds like "Jessie's Girl," that's because it does.
Ok girls, eat it up:

Mac Book Pro
I'm not saying you want one, but yes I am.
How shall I put this...
INCREDIBLE?
That sounds too hyped. Let's just go with your natural insecurities and unwillingness to pay top dollar.
If you go to a Mac Store, and I did not realize this at first, but you get an appointment with a GENUIS.
Yeah, that's right. Walk up to the genius bar as if they were serving sloe gin fizzes.
It caught me off guard, the "genius" thing when I brought in a dead keyboard a few weeks ago.
Then I looked around, and a lot of people took time from their day to just learn about all the Apple stuff.
I felt like a CIA plant. "Oh, so you think you are going to iSync?" Hardy har har.
Then the cute girl, about 19 years old, told me how to draw together all my computer stuff, vet records, sad tales of stock purchases... now the misery is all in one place.
She was a genius behind the genius bar.
I must tell you, I'm the first sports fan to run behind a winner saying, "I told you so!"
Then again, coming from a Dallas Cowboys family, where no crime is too small for Jerry Jones' pen - you might think me overly persuaded by rhetoric or entrenched positions on life, God.
I assure you if Dallas wins less than ten games next season, I'm done with them.
But back to the point, which I think had something to do with "loyalty."
I'm completely in love with everything Mac. Sure, some of the applications take getting used to, but like old girlfriends in dripping swimming suits, freezing time and lust, well - not sure where that line of thought portended, but the fact of the matter is - it portended on a MAC.
I'm willing to remain one of those dumb guys, "Oh wow, dude can't handle Windows or Vista."
So I remain just a little guy, without any brains, clinging to my Mac.

I Might Have to Give This a Try
What, No Females in this Post?
I sense myself sailing dangerously near rocky shoals with some of the women out there who think I have a one-track mind.So to demonstrate my variety of topical interests, whether you believe me or not, here is an interesting video about how computers first began.
<--- I have mentioned this site before. It's like discovering the public library when you are eleven years old.
I tend to watch podcasts via iTunes on my iPod, but anyone can just visit the webpage and window shop (sic).
