I know I should replace this MacBook Air but there's a guy in town trying to make a go of being a Mac reseller and repair depot (among other things).

I think I'll take it up there and have him replace the battery and the few keycaps that have rubbed off.

It's a mid-2011 Core i5 1.7 Ghz with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage. A bit long in the tooth but it still gets the job done.

Last year was our year for abnormally hot. It's been average if not on the mild side this time around. Doesn't bode well for winter when it's like this, though.

I don't mind the snow but I am from up north. The locals are a sight to behold on it though.

Dragged to Sidekick's office in town. She's had it a few years but I've never been in it.

A lot of new old faces lately

At Starbucks drive thru

"Your regular then?"

She really does frequent this place a lot.

Sidekick and I are off to Staples and Starbucks because this as close as we can manage to having a date

I fear those days are long gone. You can blame the "Release early - Release often", mindset for a lot of it.

It works well when you have technical people on both ends or aren't doing anything mission critical. But this doesn't reflect reality for most people.

They're going to grow up homeless unfortunately. I haven't seen a 8" floppy drive in years :)

I wish bean bag chairs weren't so tacky looking. I'd love to have one in my office but my brain will insist there's patchouli in the air and black light posters on the wall.

Prudence dictates that I head to the office and do a few things while there's no-one there to bug me.

I think I will flip prudence my middle finger today.
