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!)

Tidbits for the week ending Saturday, January 21, 2006:

So our design director, Mike Rohde, who knows how miserable I am for having just purchased a new Powerbook one week before Apple’s MacBook Pro announcement (which happens to only be five times faster), decided to have a little fun at my expense tonight. Thanks buddy.

One of our recent customers, Outer Level, has written up a weblog entry describing the process of working with MakaluMedia designer Mike Rohde in the development of a new corporate logo.

Some time ago, I purchased an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Professional, version 7. The installer didn’t ask for the previous version’s serial number, as most do, but rather asked me to locate the older version of the software on my hard drive. So I pointed the installer at version 6, completed the installation/registration, and then proceeded to remove version 6 from my hard drive.

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!

John Engler talks about the salaries of small business owners and his uncle estimates that most small business owners pay themselves a salary equivalent to 10% of gross revenues. I just made a rough calculation, and my own salary is about 7% of MakaluMedia's gross revenues, so that's probably a decent rule of thumb.
