Laptop Died – NVIDIA Failure
Alrighty…So amidst of all the chaos in kimtown, I went to turn on my MACBOOK PRO after putting it to sleep the other night, and lo and behold, the light was on but no one was home.

I just got my 11 year old an iPod Shuffle. That was the original, but this really takes the cake. Now he’s buggin for one of these (or maybe I am…) This is my pick for Mac Monday!

This allowed us to make the new iPod shuffle dramatically smaller, but not just for dramatically smaller’s sake. It’s also easier to use,... Read The Rest →
