Well to keep this short. I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up. So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable. There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals . I lets you track little achievements and mishaps i...

So lets see here. Johannes Kleske wrote on imgriff.com about sharing what's in your bag on a daily basis on his post . And called for other bloggers to share. I'll follow this one up right here. So what do I take with me every day? my MacBook including a Crumpler Gimp power brick and MDVI to VGA adapter for my MacBook Apple Remote for presentations old headphones from my 3G iPod some pens and a pencil & eraser my business cards a Moleskine for on the go notes my trusty point and shoot HP R717 Cables(cross-over Ethernet, power extention, USB cable for cam, audio jack with adapter a small 256MB USB stick for quick transfers ear plugs in case it gets really noisy where I am a spare pair of contact lenses and some eye drops some chap stick, tic tacs and winter green chewing gum, and some paper handkerchiefs a small "survival kit" with a lighter a knife and a flash light and a glow stick. (Although I have to leave the lighter and the knife at home when I go by plan...

Arrrr, land rats! Well this morning the mail man brought us a package with Windows Vista Business Upgrade. I though I was gonna have fun. But since the Vista experience amounted up to me not being able to install it because of a million things that would take to long to list here. So I wanted to snatch the manual and do a RTFM, that when I saw that cool pirate map they put in with the documentation. Yaaar, tis be a great idea to have come up with. I studied it a bit and when read the inside I almost fell of my chair laughing. A bunch of morons they be. Pwned themselves they did. But have a look yer'self . And the whole map.

The Quest is Over Originally uploaded by Noodleholz . Back in November I finally got it. My very own MacBook. I blogged about this in May. The quest is over. I've managed to optimize my finances and scratch the money together. To say the least I love the new machine. Being used to a iBook G4 800 MHz that I borrowed in the mean time this thing is just screaming. I even think it feels faster than my PowerMac Dual G5. What makes me even more fond of this gadget is that I managed to bring up the determination and willpower to make this happen. So it reminds me of how proud I am of myself. I count it in as a trophy. So the gloss I worried about, it's no deal at all. Of course if you're out in the sun it will distract you a great deal, but that sort of applies to all notebooks in my opinion. The battery takes me through 5 hours of school/work at least and about 2h 30m in Bootcamp(There aren't any efficient power management drivers out yet that's why it drains the...

Lets just see if you guys will be crackin' up like I was this morning. So take a look

Hey I was bored one day and browsed through my DV tapes and found some old footage from a trip to central park. Check this out.

IMG_0977.JPG Originally uploaded by itsbetteronamac . Now, I've been reading rumor blogs for quite some time now. Speculation on a new iBook. Since mine broke down late October 05. I've been so sad my little friend has failed me. But then the big surprise. The rumors came true. Apples new iBook successor is on the market. The MacBook. Sleek, sexy, and black. I love the design of the keyboard. I always knew Apple would give the next generation a cool new look as they did when the ClamShell had to go. The keyboard is a dream come true. The only thing I'm concerned about is the glossy screen. I've always been skeptic about them. I'll have to see a MacBook hands on and use it a couple of minutes to really find out if I can cope with the gloss. But one way or another I've got a quest for MacBook glory. Now I'll just need to spice up my income somehow. Maybe sell a few organs :) No really I'll have to get into some freelancing of some sort.
