Still Getting Used to the “Mac Way”
One of the things I’ve found myself doing is actually navigating into the Applications folder on my laptop in order to launch programs not in my dock (the equivalents of the Windows Start Menu and Quick Launch bar, respectively). In Vista I would just hit the Windows key and start typing into the search box. Well, I can actually be doing the same thing in Leopard with Spotlight, I just haven’t ever thought about doing it. I’m sure that I’ll find other ways like this to optimize my workflow over the next week or two and just be getting used to it when my desktop arrives, allowing me to return to the land of Windows.
In order to occupy my time today, I went to go see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I felt like it was probably a little too long at 2:30, and some of the (many) repeated jokes could have been cut, but it was still entertaining. A movie with giant robot battles and stuff blowing up doesn’t exactly require the most engaging story even in the world, even if that’s what the critics want to think. My score: 8.5/10.
