This is the first post from the new computer.. and what a fine one it is. Thanks to a 2K grant from my dad I am punching out a message on the new computer.

Its really fast.. but alas it does not have everything that the old one had. I am still renewing the subscriptions to all of those handy little pieces of software that help the creative process. A new snapz pro.. a new tangerine. a new transmit.

The new "office" works nicely as well as the new "IWork." I will still have to wait for the new Ilife 09 as it was not ready for Mac World. The Creative Suite did not ship with the new IMac so I am pretty much not able to do the photoshop thing. I have been enjoying the use of the new Aperture that came with the computer. I have plowing through the Lyndia. com to learn as much as I can to learn how to use this powerful program. So much to learn it is exciting.

At school they have installed a projector in the classroom so that means that I will be able to use some PowerPoints for my lessons. I had contemplated getting a lap top instead of this beauty. I am hoping to get one of those to move the creation in other places.. but I am not ready to give up the monitor and the power of a desktop model.

I am enjoying the music of Tom Paxton this weekend..

Check out the blog of Tom Russell another folk singer referrenced at the bottom of this blog. He has a very clear voice interesting blog.

Hope your 3 day is going well.
