The Machines Have Arrived


Finally, after years of contemplation... My own Mac Pro system! Actually, owning a company sped up the decision process. The reason why I took so long to decide whether I should get it is because these things come and go so fast, and what I got from freelancing wasn't justifiable. Not to mention the software inside!! And for those who know me, I only get the original stuff. It comes from being a designer... I create things and wouldn't want people to rip off my work.

My Powerbook has served me well in the last 3 years. It got really tough especially when I had to edit videos. Already the Powerbook's screen is only 12 inches. Imagine the editing canvas or the final screen size of about 5cm by 4cm?? No wonder my eyes have gone bad!! Thank God for carrots and ginkgo tablets! The size of the screen was one thing, the speed was another. S-L-O-W.

Well, I figured that with my own business, people in general will not be taking me and the work I do for granted. If there's a job that needs to be done, it's my education, experience, time, skills, hardware and software that make the project work... and hopefully work well. These machines and software will not last me past 2 years. At some point, I would have to upgrade.

For those who prayed that I got a good bargain on the hardware and software... Thanks! It wasn't free, but it helped! :O) I am still waiting for the Airport Extreme, which the person I bought it from forgot to install, that allows wireless internet access.

For now, it's time to let the creative spirit FREE...!


Unveiling of the Mac Pro


O God,

Teach me how to use technology!
Show me how to blend it with my skills
To show the world your Creativeness
Reflecting You in the process.
Amen.
