Me and Mac

by Heather
Hello lovely readers! Please excuse my absence from the blog world last week; my dog ate my post. Well, maybe if I had a dog that would be plausible. Actually, my refurbished Toshiba wasn't cooperating so I took the plunge and bought an Apple Macbook Pro! Consequently, I'll be on a PBJ diet for the next 3 months but it's SO worth it. It's amazing! Night and day difference from my PC.... so many cool features and great speed. Here's a snapshot I took of myself while writing this post with my built in camera (I added a vignette effect).

I've also justified the purchase because I'll be taking graphic design classes at Santa Monica Community College soon. Can't wait!
I'm still learning how to use my new Apple and discovering all the features; anyone have any tips?

  1. Ooh girl your long beautiful hair is envy inducing! You've got such fab style and the little glimpse of your appartment in the background looks stunning. Well done on the new Mac, I can't wait to replace mine with a mac just because I'll take any excuse to visit the geeks in the the apple shop! Have a fab week xoxo

  10. oh, i hope you love the new mac! i have one at work, and it is super as long as everything works. but if it has a problem, taking it to the mac store is kind of a nightmare and they take forever to fix.

    i don't know that many tricks, but the screen capture one is my favorite. i think it is shift, apple 4. it is rad. it takes a picture of whatever you have on your screen, and you edit the size. it automatically saves as a jpeg to your desktop. fucking rad.

  12. My brother just bought one and too is in love. He also took a few classes at MAC to learn how to maximize it and said they were totally worth the time. Cool pic!
