Exactly one year ago from this time, I had thought that I was already an avid runner that knew good running form, training habits and overall injury prevention. I also thought I knew my physical limits. I was wrong. It wasn’t until I started running 30 to 40 miles per week, that I realized how little I knew. Now with a year under my belt of running nearly everyday, I can’t emphasize enough how incredible running is, and how good it can, and does make you feel.
So I finally got my college computer, a Macbook Pro. 4 Gigs of RAM, 2.5 GHz Core 2 Duo, GeForce 8600M GT, 200 Gig Hard Drive 7200 RPM. But I want to put all of these figures aside, because they aren’t the reason I love Macs, after all, you can always get a PC with better specs for a hell of a lot cheaper. So what makes a Mac worth buying anyway? In my opinion, its the same reason everyone buys an iPod over a Zune or a Creative mimic. Simplicity and ease-of-use. Jinno said it best: “Simplicity is the Key to Good Design.” Within the first half-hour of using my Mac, was I was able to see exactly how simple the computers really are, and believe me, these things live up to the hype.
I’m proud to finally announce the next version of Xenostar. I’ve finally managed to introduce a nice CMS (Content Management System) by WordPress. I’ve been shying away from working on a WordPress theme for a long time, but I finally was able to work for about 9 hours strait until I learned PHP again. Thankfully, this project has refreshed my love for PHP and CSS, while at the same time showed me how flexible and easy-to-use WordPress is.
