I have been watching a website called MacAppADay as I should be getting my Mac within about a week.  The basics behind the site is that they will be giving away 1 free Mac application everyday from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31 2006.  I am looking forward to populating my new mac with all kinda of goodies that I collect from this, Mac Heist and MacZOT!.  MacAppADay also has a nice chipin donation for Oxfam going that I will gladly post on my site as well to hopefully give a little more exposure though it won’t be much.  I kind of like the little chipin flash app.  It is very well designed.

Today must not be a very exciting day in the world of tech.  About 8 blogs that I frequently read have posted about the Google blog post about Google Answers shutting down.  Some of these include Tech Crunch, Paul Stamatiou’s Blog and Mashable.  According to TailRank there are currently 30 blogs blogging about it.  Make that 31 if I show up on there.  I guess this is big news because it is Google.  Personally I hadn’t really ever heard much about Google Answers and I don’t think this is going to hurt them as a company very much.  So hopefully something more interesting happens tomorrow.

Jumping on the Mac Bandwagon

I have been an avid Windows/PC user for about as long as I can remember.  My first computer was a Coleco Adam Computer but after that we had a IBM PS/2 with Windows 3.1.  I think it was only about 3 years ago that I was definitively against Macs.  I hated the site of them, I didn’t like the OS.  If I touched them, it burned my flesh…etc.  But something changed.  I don’t really know what.  For about the past year or so I have found myself wanting to convert to a Mac owner/user.  I will almost always be a Windows user still just for the games, but when it comes to average computer use and work, it seems like working on Mac would be so much nicer.  In fact the only thing that has kept me from converting has been game support, and now with Boot Camp there really is no excuse for me. I was doing my daily blog scroll when I came across a post by Thomas Hawk about his secret switch to Apple Hardware.  His little review is basically the final straw.  My new credit card gets here in a couple days and I will be purchasing a 17″ Mac Book Pro as soon as I activate it.  I have a feeling it will be very useful for my web design business, and I can probably use it as a business expense as long as I consult my accountant about it.  I have actually been preparing to switch for the past couple weeks by frequenting blogs such as Think Secret, Mac Rumors, and Apple Insider.  I’ve also been gathering up software from Mac Heist even though there is no computer to put it on yet.  That should be changed very soon though.  I also keep an eye on MacZOT! for any interesting software that I could find useful in the very near future.  I will make sure to take pictures of the unboxing when it occurs.
