Jonbu the baker

I just got a last-gen refurb Macbook that I haven’t introduced to people. Why so stingy? I figured it’s a good way to try out the laptop experience without having to shell out big money. I’m not looking to replace the iMac yet.

Introduction picture? I took one shot of it right before the camera battery ran out. maybe post it later.

I’ve had this weird pattern of wanting to buy a laptop every Summer. Because every year Apple has this free iPod deal during the summer. The pattern probably started 5(?) years ago with the iBook, when I came back from Japan and had to finish a database course at UBC. The fact that I was a student meant that Back-to-School campaign was aim directly at me, and it always felt wrong not taking advantage of it. And every once in a while in the next few years I’d blog about it, and blog about how I probably blogged about it last year.

I didn’t go for the free iPod deal this time tho.. maybe should’ve, but I’m too lazy to do the cost analysis now.

What else… I think it’s pretty nice. Tho it’s heavier than I realize.
