A week in Miami

Posted on 2009/01/31 7:11 AM by Guest

I spent this past week covering the Miami office while Doug was attending the Get DPI workshop in Moab. The weather was picture perfect and the highs were in the 80s and lows in only the 50s. With such great weather I happily walked everywhere the entire week. It was quite nice to be able to walk down Ocean Drive and pick up a cafe con leche on the commute. On … Read More →

Apple recently released a new line of MacBook Pro laptops. With the new release they have altered the FireWire port configuration to only include 800 (9 -pin) and excluded any 400 (6-pin) ports.
