OmniFocus for iPad

Ok. I got a new iPad. Can’t say that I would have bought one on my own, but that’s what makes it a perfect gift. I’m still figuring out where it fits in my life — though surfing while on the couch (possibly while couch surfing?) and watching media on the train both have been fun.

I did ahead and popped for the cash for the iPad version of OmniFocus. It is eye-wateringly expensive at 39.99 USD.

It is pretty cool though. It has such a fantastic interface — I love it. I think I like the maps integration for setting the context of certain actions the best. It just looks soooo shiny.

Totally another Gollum moment with an Apple product. My precious…

I want! New MacBook Air released

I guess Apple found the love in their hearts for the Air!

Slashgear review.

But at a claimed 5 hours of battery life, how does that stack up to the new generation of netbooks? And at the price point it’s at, I think it’s still a tough call between the Air and the 13 inch MBP.

Not happening so much lately, but thought I’d share a problem with speed I was having awhile back, due to mdworker going on overdrive.

Where’s the 13 inch MBP love?

Apple’s released their new chipsets for the Mac Book Pro — long overdue. Only they neglected the 13 inch MBP model, instead saving Intel’s Core i5 and i7 chips for the 15inch and 17inch models.

I like the screen real estate of my 15inch (older, non-unibody) MacBook Pro, but my back’s been complaining about the amount of weight I end up carrying around. The 13inch is that much more portable and lighter (without, say, trying to move to an iPad while out of the office) and so was my target for my next mac.

Maybe I can just add a bigger hard drive and get a new battery for my current MBP and hold out to see if there will be an upgrade in the next 6 months?
