I have found that the summer distracts you from blogging, and a lot of online activities. It's just that simple. There is just so much to do in the summertime, and the time is just full of activity, and bustle, and before you know it, you haven't posted on your blog or checked your Facebook for weeks, and don't even really mind it that much. You're too caught up in the rush of summer to notice.
Now winter and fall is a different story. Especially in the winter. It's cold, and ideas, thoughts, and plans seem to incubate in the warm corners of your mind, as you bask in the glow of your screen amid a pile of brownies and hot cocoa.
In the summer? Facebook? Blogging? HA! Let's go to the lake and get burned half to death by the sun, and then drown our sorrows in ice cold Coke and BBQ. Or watch an evening movie, followed by a late-night swim. Swimming in the dark is awesome.
I've been busy at work. We were audited, and although it was stress, it was comical to see the things a small company gets flustered about. Compared to Walmart, it isn't hard at all.
The biggest news of all:
My computer, after 8 dedicated years of service, died and took everything with him. Except my external harddrive, which thankfully has most of my stuff backed up to it anyway. So now, I get to build a new computer, out of custom parts, which is one of my favorite hobbies. It might take awhile, but hopefully not too long.
I have also been seriously contemplating this being my last PC. Mac just keeps looking better and better. I need several Mac-savvy friends to start teaching me about them though, because I am lost. So any help from all you Mac-Attacks would be awesome. I'd love to hear your Mac experiences. Besides being better engineered, designed, etc, they are just plain beautiful. *sigh*
So where do I start with Macs?

It takes a bit of time to get used to them but I probably wouldn't ever go back. Once I got used to it Macs work a lot more like how I think.
Heather and I just got new MacBooks in March... These things rock! They're pretty fast too. (Oh and if you want you can run windows on them alongside Mac OS X, of course you need to buy it, but it can now be done!)
Drowning our sorrows in ice cold Coke and BBQ... :-D
Oh and as for where you start with macs. You get one, turn it on, follow the Setup Wizard and start figuring out how to do things.
The summer is killer. You get all ready for it, and then BAM! You find yourself near the end of July. o_O Where did it go?! *wails*
It's somewhat more difficult to find entertaining activities in the cooler months, which leaves the mind a-wandering and searching for ways to distract itself -- which usually ends up leading it to the digital world of the interwebs and Shops of Photos.
May your loyal computer rest in peace. *moment of silence* Dang, eight years is a long time for a computer!
I would be delighted to assist you in your Mac endeavors! (You know of my family's PC problems and Mac takeover, so no backstory needed here.) I also have a friend who works at an Apple store, so I can get the down-low on the stuffs. ^_~
The first thing that you might want to consider is: What are you using it for? This will help you decide what kind of Mac you want (MacBook, iMac, Mac Pro, et cetera).
Maybe my comment will work this time, but I'm going to keep it short just in case!
Did you get your new computer yet?
