Switching to Mac has had some challenges. Most of them are fairly minor.

For example, what web browser is the best one? That’s a question that can spark some heated debate depending on what circles you ask it. Wanna have fun at a tech-geek gathering? Ask it to a group of Mac users and then sit back and watch the fireworks.

It’s sorta like pulling the pin from a hand grenade, and tossing it into the middle of the room to see what will happen.

I’ve been working on on the business plan for SuccessCREEations. I’m building out sites for clients and teaching them how to use them. I’m writing up proposals and submitting them to prospective clients.

Oh, and I seem to have a powerful need to sleep nearly every night. Read more
