PowerBook arrived
Now it’s time to figure out how to effectively use two computers together, for everything from email to blogging to music to photos.

You never know…
…who’s reading. Which is why I keep certain things off my blog, like most people, I think. I don’t know if anyone at work knows about my personal blog (very few know about my work blog), but I am careful to write nothing that I could not live with seeing on my boss’s monitor (or…
