CostaCafes.com Launch

22 January 2006

I don’t know whether it’s the lively coming and going of people, the aromatic smells, the taste of a great coffee, the change of pace, or a combination of them all, but I love hanging out in coffee shops. Hardly a week goes by that I don’t shut the Powerbook, slide it into its Waterfield sleeve, throw that into my Timbuk2 messenger bag, and head off to work for a few hours in a local cafe. And here in Spain, there’s no shortage of good ones!

Given that I couldn’t find a good local online guide, I decided to build one myself, CostaCafes.com, – as much a resource for myself, as for the public. So far, it’s been a blast to put together (even though it hasn’t netted me any free coffees as I’d planned!)

So I pointed the installer at version 6, completed the installation/registration, and then proceeded to remove version 6 from my hard drive.

Macworld Notes

11 January 2006

I can’t begin to express how fortunate I feel that about one week ago in the US, I purchased a new 15” Powerbook, given that yesterday, Steve Jobs introduced the new Intel-based Powerbook which happens to be only about FIVE TIMES FASTER! They were NOT supposed to do that yet! Aaaaaarg!
