Only thing worse than getting rained on...

The only thing more frustrating than getting wet on a rainy day is having all of your technology devices not work right. I just had my Treo bite the dust...so I traded it in for a HTC Touch Diamond.  This thing is now locking up.  I am typing this on my 3 year old MacBook that now has to be plugged in at all times or it dies. I have a love/hate relationship with technology.

This is what I would twitter if I twittered:
....just hit cord with my knee...computer dies....hate computers.
....just yelling on my Treo speaker phone at Thaicoon's, while everyone around me watches...the regular phone speaker is out.
....why is my new HTC is locking up. My fingers are too chubby for the touch screen too.
....I may have a magnetic strip in my fingers and ear that wipes out the performance chip in my phone and computer.
---arghhhhhh!
....Jesus heal my phone!

Eco-Friendly Mac

I am thrilled that Mac is coming out with some very Eco-friendly systems.

Top 3 pics of 2007

Now that we have the Canon Digital Rebel and Photo Shop...here are my Top 3 pics taken in 2007. As you can see I am having "bloggers block" today.

MacBook Stress

My MacBook battery died again. When the A/C adapter is not plugged in, the stinking computer dies. Things like this never happen at a convenient time.

Pray for me....I struggle with over-the-phone customer service. I'm just being honest.

* Long Waits
* 20 different people= same conversation
* Them telling you that you are the only one they have ever seen with this problem.

I've been reading the Sermon on the Mount so maybe this time I will respond differently.

Any Mac peeps out there ever had that problem?

MacBook Air

First it was Nike....then Nike Air.

Then we had MacBook....now MacBook Air.

I hear Steve Jobs is coming out with a MacBook chip that can be implanted into your Cerebral Cortex....the mouse is controlled by your eyes and the processing speed depends on the health of your heart. It will be called the MacBook Imagination.

How do I know this, you ask?

Because you can't get smaller than the MacBook Air.

This makes my MacBook look like a bag phone.

Evolution of Computers

Today while working from Port City Java alongside of Dustin, I just happen to notice what I like to call "The Evolution of Computers." It was either the Holy Spirit's conviction, or just a blatant visual confirmation.....needless to say, Dustin is budgeting for a new computer. Just another reason to get a Mac.

Take a look and you decide! Dustin's is on the left. Mine is the sleak, trendy, cool, awesome...o.k. you get the point.

Feeling Wired

There have been a few things recently that have made me feel like I can read a Wired Magazine and not look like an idiot.

Among these are:

1. My first purchase of a Mac almost a year ago.

2. Starting this blog 6 months ago.

3. Moving from the cell phone to the Treo.

4. Listening to music on my ipod.

5. Using RSS feeds, podcasts, etc..

6. David hooking me up with some sweet Harmon Kardon sound sticks for the ipod.

6. NOW 2 URL's will take you to this blog: richbutler.typepad.com and.....wait for it....wait for it... drumroll please......richbutler.org
