I finally broke down and ordered my first Mac. My Dell laptop has been so-so lately, and the last straw was when my power port broke. Right now I can only use my computer by jamming the power cord in the port with one hand, and working with the other. Definitely not the most productive way to work…

I got a 15″ MacBook Pro, and am adding Dreamweaver CS4 (for Mac), Microsoft Office 2008 (for Mac), and Parallels, Windows 7, and Expression Web 3 (for Windows) so I can work on my sites on the Mac while I start transferring stuff over to Dreamweaver. Once that’s done, I should only need Windows to run online poker rooms/casinos when I’m writing a review. I also got the Magic Mouse, which seems like a really cool product.

Anyways, I’m psyched for it to come in so I can start playing around with it. I bought an electric guitar like two weeks ago, and GarageBand has guitar lessons built right into it, which should be way easier than using the cheap “Learn to Play Guitar” DVD I have now. Basically I’m going to spend the next few days watching Mac tutorial videos instead of working

PokerSite.org

I’ve got a pretty big update/expansion coming out for my main site, PokerSite.org. I’m switching everything over from .dwt to .php files, which will let me do some really cool stuff with the site, but also requires that I manually switch over hundreds of pages, which is no fun at all. The nice thing about it is that I’m forced to look at every page, and a lot of them were half-assed when I originally built the site. Now I’m re-writing a lot of stuff, adding new info, new sections, and when it is done it should be a much better site overall. I highly recommend doing a major update of your site at least once every year or two, simply because you will know more as a webmaster, and you can fix all of the stuff you did wrong initially. The new site should be done in another week or two.

Have a good Thanksgiving everyone.
