What a month!

Where do I begin?

First and foremost, my eventual streak of sustaining a permanent position in society as a working class citizen...has ended. I have been lost my job due to the economy...again. This is the third consecutive job that I have been in the unlucky position to have it be cut.

This means I am back on the unemployment train. In addition, it means that more than likely I will be sweeping floors. Not that I mind. All that truly matters is that my wife is happy, my home is kept and my dogs are loved. Do not get me wrong. There is a passion to have a satisfying career or profession. For the time being I will settle for a lasting position. I fear the reaper. And his name is called the job line.

Aside from that, I have the great pleasure of doing several side jobs in the technology world. The first one the vice president at Century 21. I created an online marketing campaign to advertise his home across various social networks. This entailed creating a Facebook, Blogger site, Wordpress, Linkedin, and so on, websites to advertise his home that he was selling. Well, it was a success! He sold his home within one month! Quite unheard of in this fickle real estate market, right? I know the peson who did buy the home had seen a page I set-up on-line (unsure which site). So, I'll pat myself on the back on this one.

The other job is still in progress. I'll hold off my thoughts until it is finalized.

My only exciting news is my pick up for a 24" Imac. I traded my Macbook Pro (15") for a 24" Imac (new), 8GB Iphone 2G and $100. The laptop bag and a lovely unused coffee/cappuccino maker were included. The deal worked out great, I have to say, quite well for me.
I'll miss my laptop but I really wanted a mac desktop. There is no way I could afford a Desktop Mac Pro. Those range from $2,200 to $2,600. So, the Imac was the next big option. The 24" makes my 22" wide screen next to it look small in comparison.

From here on out, I want to keep a daily (or I will try) blog about the transition from the PC world to Mac. I've been dabbling with Leopard, on the Macbook pro, for a few months now. My goal is to use the PC less and less. I will still be using Vista and XP, using Parallels, in the virutal world. So, I won't be turning my nose up to the PC world all-together.
