After just over a year, I am really getting rather attached to my MacBook Pro. I have to admit that the classes I’ve been taking at the Apple store have contributed greatly to this “attitude change”, as well as setting up the “free wi-fi” that I can get at Starbucks (with my registered “Gold Starbucks card”).
Sitting here at my local Starbucks may help me put more attention on using more of the features of my Facebook, Plurk and Flickr accounts, but it is definitely helpful in playing more on my WordPress blogs! I think the fun part about having this blog is just having an avenue to ramble through some of the thoughts in my head, and “who cares” if they make sense to anyone but me? 
Oftentimes when I sit down to write in this blog, I think I might only have a few sentences to type….not really much to say, and such. And then I get on a roll, and more words want to jump out and be typed out. I’m always surprised to see just how much I might have written when the out-pouring is done. I don’t think I really have anything earth-shaking to say, as I am not one for political or controversial commentary. Then there are those times I would just like to strike out on a line of conversation, just to see if anyone out “there” is listening (reading), and wants to converse with me. In any case, I don’t feel like I’m all alone in either my feelings or thoughts. This does help to break down my inclination to be shy & reserved, among those that are my friends, and maybe even a little bit eager to reach out to make new friends that might share similar thoughts.
In learning more about my MacBook Pro, and Garageband in particular, I am feeling more confident in producing my podcast, “Fantasy & Folktales”. And to think that less than a year ago, I had no idea ‘how’ to produce a podcast, even though I’ve been podcasting for the past three years (nearly 3 yrs!) I have been fortunate to have learned alot of “quality” on production from a former podcasting partner, and I often find his “instruction” echoing through my head as I work on editing and mixing new episodes of my “show”. It really is helpful to be trained by someone who has a flair for promotion, and presentation, and I am glad I paid attention. (altho, he prolly would be a lil surprised to find out I was taking notes, and learning all I could from him on the finer points of “production & promotion”.) And now, I am just taking my learning experience to higher levels, as I work on more of the fun features my Mac has to offer in the “media” department.
Next learning curve will be making movies…
