My trusty, reliable (and very heavy) eMac turned five years old this month. I'm sure that's essentially the technological equivalent of a stegosaurus, but it's worked just fine until recently, when it started slowing waaaaaaay down.
I ordered a sleek new MacBook (only after I asked the Soon-to-be-Mrs. Pursuing Pineapple if it was okay).
That's actually me working on this post.
I also ordered some extra software - which I totally love. ArtRage Deluxe 2.5 is this neat, inexpensive, simple to use art program with which I've totally spent most of my free time. Check out these pics: the first one is a photo of a Salvador Dali lithograph I have, the second one, I did in about ten minutes with ArtRage (within the first two to three hours of playing with it). I recognize it doesn't have the depth of color or emotion of the litho, but, come on, ten minutes.
I also got a fancy, cool pen and tablet to use with my new laptop and software.
It makes me feel like I work at Pixar or Industrial Light and Magic. Of course, taking a second look at that picture I made, I should probably keep my day job.
I've got a couple of fun little posts planned for later this week/weekend; maybe even a contest with a real prize. Thanks for checking in...

Very cool! For some reason, the pen and tablet reminded me of the newest Japanese invention (well, it was new a year ago). It's a computer that is inside a pen. When you turn it on, two lights shine in different directions...one light that when up up close to a wall or something becomes your monitor, and the other light shines on the desk and becomes your fully functional computer pad. Too cool...and I'm sure WAY too expensive!
I have to admit... I'm a little jealous...
But *shhh* don't tell my old IBM Thinkpad, I don't want to hurt its feelings and make it stop working!!
