My MacBook Pro Is in for Repairs!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

This morning, the display on my MacBook Pro died! I took it to the Apple Store up the street, and they told me they’d get back to me within 24 to 48 hours with their diagnosis.

In the meantime, I’m writing this from my iPhone, but I had a bunch of posts saved to my machine I planned on putting up tomorrow morning. Looks like they’ll have to wait a few days.

Also, I was really planning on ramping up the job search this week, too. That’ll have to wait until I have my machine back in my hands, too.

On top of that, I was on a roll with a music project and two web designs I was pretty excited about. I hate having to stop work when I’m in a really good groove!

Today I thought about picking up an Asus Eee PC as a backup/writing machine (specifically the 1000HA). Has anybody had experience with one of these? It seems to only be available on Amazon and not in any of my local big box stores.

Anyway, if you see me wandering around the streets of Baltimore aimlessly tomorrow, you’ll know why.

In this episode, I ramble on for almost 25 minutes. I even prepared notes.

  • It’s been exactly one week since I was let go from my job
  • Gmail was down for a couple hours this morning
  • I bought two awesome new desk lamps and one terrible kitchen light from IKEA
  • I volunteered for WTMD’s Fund Drive with @amywoo on Saturday
  • A short rant about music
  • Apple released the Safari 4 public beta and I play around with it for a minute
  • My broadband situation is terrible
  • I can’t believe I talked for 24 minutes
