The Valley of the Real
I successfully reloaded my MacBook Pro tonight. I felt like starting over… there was a ton of “experimental” software and changes I did to the box as I was learning. I also decided not to load Parallels. We don’t need no stinking Windows. That will free up some hard drive space. Yeah.
I jumped on Pownce this week to see what it is all about. I guess this will be a Twitter” alternative. Twitter was sucking air this week. This may be something Sojourn could end up using… we will see.
