Macbook Pro Rules

Macbookpro
You already know that I'm a Apple fanboy, but in this rainy day while I'm working in some projects, it's impossible not to notice that my Macbook Pro is a great machine indeed. 
It's the previous version, loaded with programs and junk that I've gathered for months, with a smashed chassis on the side from a fall from my car trunk, a de-glued screen on the joints but still working and better than other laptops in the market.

I'm running at the same time, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Toast Titanium, CyberDuck, Skype, Firefox, Mail.app, iCal,  and making Software Updates Downloads from the net and is rocking like a sports car. Yes it's becoming a little sluggish sometimes, but really, it's amazing. In other laptops and even powerful desktops I've seen it crash and burn with just a few of these programs running at the same time.

People talk about price, but I was a PC user for years and it was a pain even with new products. After a few months of hard use and things always turn a nightmare. Re-install everything, buying new hardware to increase capacity and a vicious circle.
With the Macs, I use for years. My first Macbook Pro (a 17") it's still running like a kitten in my wife's hands after almost 5 years of heavy duty.

Talk about price value? This is good value for price.

Spending Time With My Family

Arvores
This weekend was to spend time with my family. It was Father's Day at 19th and my daughter also made her 13th birthday this Sunday. 
What a great way to re-energize, insert some sense to my head and even understand where the priorities are.

I'm passionate about the good things in life. But sometimes I miss focus and kind of forget about the priorities I've stablished in my life.
My family is the main priority. And this is my base. From there I can do almost anything.

This is important. Because, when we acknowledge where our base is, we can't be defeated so easily and the main strength has endless power reserves.
Have a rest of a great weekend and start your week in the right mood. Maybe you can change the world!
