Yesterday I purchased a Mac Mini. When these first came out I really wanted one, but thought I’d wait until after I got mallied to get one. However, yeserday I went to FirstTech in Minneapolis to return a failing 160GB external LaCie brand drive for repair. They were having a trade-in sale. So I traded in my old G4 for a handsome $250 credit and purchased a Mac mini with superdrive. Granted, I will need to get a RAM upgrade for it and a firewire hub… but this machine is so cool. Matt Sparby came over to help me get it setup and also help me a little with my fedora install. We had a blast. That evening we picked up a Davanni’s deep dish pizza and had margaritas. Heather was painting (artistically–not the house) and baking a cake but we made sure to keep her glass full too. 🙂
Anyway, I LOVE this new machine. And my new Fedora server will finally be complete soon too so we can try out some new blogging software.
This morning Heather and I enjoyed some sun and cleaned up the house a bit. I made coffee and had cake and coffee for breakfast with Heather on the deck. We both ate raisins as a mid morning snack. I finished some laundry and Heather is doing her laundry as I type. I’m currently enjoying an iced coffee and listening to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack on my new Mac. Later we’ll be off to Heather’s cousin Katie’s place for some dinner with the family.
