I've received a few questions asking why I need three monitors. First, I don't "need" three monitors but now that I have them I do find it saves me time. For the last 10 years I've always had two monitors on my main work stations. I find this allows me to do less minimizing and moving windows around. I can monitor my friendfeed, news sites, and have many tabs available on each browser window. When editing videos or working in Aperture I can still have two monitors dedicated to other tasks. I find three monitors just allows me to get more done than having just two which is much better than having only one. Your mileage may vary.

My main work development setup...

Left: dual 23" Cinema Displays attached to a 2006 3.0GHz dual-core, dual processor MacPro with 12GB memory, 4x 500GB (2TB) internal disks, running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.1); external drives: 2TB WD for TimeMachine, 500GB Maxstor for media (podcasts, etc)

Right: old-skool 23" Cinema Display attached to a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacMini (Early 2009) with 4GB memory, 120 internal disk, 500GB external G-Force drive. (Used as a development machine running Leopard 10.5.8 to get around a certain XCode linker bug that affects XCode 3.2 and as a build-server), and a nice, loud, clicky IBM Model M buckling-spring keyboard.

I am loving…

The 6 is beautiful but the 6 Plus is my favorite in size.

For me the best example of what makes Apple special is the old Mac Pro. When designing a tower, the aim is to develop a machine that’s expandable and often form follows function in the cheapest possible way. Apple’s tower is the a piece of brilliant design full of fantastic touches. The ability to expand it without any tools. Plastic pieces edging pressed metal sections to that you don’t cut yourself. Sliding draws to make replacing hard disks simple. Even labelling to help you understand where things go. Most of this is never seen. Yet Apple’s designers didn’t compromise. The internal of a product should be as well designed as the externals. This is something few in the business can match. For me the Mac Pro tower is another Apple design classic.

It just doesn't look that way.

So, this is my first try at a stacked "Star Trail" type photo. My friend Brandon and Miles were also in on this photo, it was kind of a collab of use three to see what we could do that night. We hiked a little to get to a nice flat and dark location. We found one, and angled it so the lake is just viewable in the bottom. This was about 80 photos, each at a 20" exposure.

Hope you like it!

Thank you,

Mitchell

Liam has figured out how to use the mouse - including how to right-click a mouse that doesn't actually have any buttons (the Apple Mighty Mouse).

Here, he is demonstrating not only his mastery of the mouse but also his understanding of "one of these things is not like the other."

The question was, "which of these things do firefighters NOT use to fight fires?" Without hesitation Liam clicked on the flower pot.

Click.

Next.

My little geek. I'm so proud!
