This anniversary is pretty strange for many people for many different reasons. The world certainly changed, and we still don't know exactly how. A huge lump of money was dumped into security measures that mostly aren't. Afterwards wars seemed much easier to start, although finishing them remains illusive.
The event and that period in personal history seems recent in some ways and distant in others. Those my age, or thereabouts have experienced frame shifts due to age, loss of parents, employment taper and the ever louder ticking of the clock. What cool things can still be accomplished in the time left? How to choose? How hard to push? Kicking back is always an option, but if you didn't do it earlier in life, you probably won't later on.
The Mac Book Air is two weeks old--now has a external hard drive friend with the important contents of old laptop. Purchased Notes and Numbers and the presentation app--haven't used that yet. Numbers is sure different than the spreadsheets I've used before--I see a trip to buy a book on iWork. I'm a book learner. Online tutorials seem to find me looking at stuff I already know and never seeing the stuff I need. Books have indexes and stuff.
The portability is amazing and I'm still happy with the keyboard. Display is small, but I'm adjusting. Waiting to see what the Thunderbolt display is all about before I buy one.
Did first photo editing job last week. Came out well--using Photoshop Elements with just a touch pad was an adjustment, but I'm already trying to scroll when sitting in front of PCs.
The 30 day escrow is oozing along, but push time is upon us. They often fall in the category of things that sound really good at the time they open--and not so good as the closing date nears.
