Finally playing with my new MacBook Pro!

I spoiled myself with a new early Christmas present: a new MacBook Pro. I decided it was time to upgrade since my old laptop is about 3 or 4 years old and is having a hard time keeping up. I want to do more with the videos I have been recording of BabyBoy, and want to learn iMovie. And now that I have an Intel Mac, I can also use VMWare Fusion and run Windows. I got it on Friday (yes on Black Friday...doing my part for the economy!) but I am just now this evening playing with it and getting things set up and installed the way I like it.

I love my iPod shuffle

Recently, at work, the development team received iPod shuffles for delivering our latest major release. I have been listening to mine a lot now, and I love it. I let iTunes autofill the iPod shuffle, and then I can rediscover old music in my library.

My new phone

For my birthday, I gave myself a new phone, the Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i, in jungle green. I haven't tried out all of its features yet, but so far it has been a pretty good phone. I also bought a 4 Gb memory card for it, and have loaded up some of my favorite tunes as well as a few podcasts I'm trying out.
