No more old slow ass laptop. It’s been replaced with a brand new iMac 27″. It’s got a Quadcore 3.5ghz i7 Processor, 16gb Ram and 500mb of SSD. This thing is FAST. It does a cold boot in 12 second. Launching Photoshop takes 2 seconds. Finally, at last, my prayers have been answered.

Here are some numbers from geek bench. While it doesn’t score ridiculously high, it definitely feels snappy. I am one happy designer right now. Sadly, it took me an entire day to manually migrate over my files… the Apple migration program failed. Oh well, sometimes it’s better to start from a completely clean slate.

Thanks AddThis for upgrading my computer. I’m really looking forward to crunching some serious design through this new machine.

For my hackathon, I designed and coded up some new sharing buttons using Adobe Edge Code.

I was trying to decide between a couple different dev tools: 1) Sublime Text, 2) Coda, and lastly 3) Adobe Edge Code. Since I had Adobe Cloud Suite already installed on my computer, I figured it was time to give some of the new software a spin. After playing around with it, I’ve decided that I really like it. The only thing I wish it had was built-in FTP and SVN support. Call me lazy, but that’s the way I roll.
