laptop vs desktop

Historically i’ve been a desktop computer guy. Until recently, I rarely traveled and wanted the extra power & lower cost of a desktop. But i’ve been spoiled by a nice fast laptop and I doubt I will ever go back. It’s so nice being able to haul it outside on nice days, write blog posts in front of the tv @ night, and otherwise be mobile. I whole heartedly agree w/ this computer world article. Laptops are going to replace desktops for nearly everything except servers in the next few years.

retirement tips

Retirment articles often seem like they say the same things over & over. Still, this one is as good as any of them. http://www.schwabinsights.com/2007_07/life.html

Walking score

I thought our walking score would be really bad because we live in the ‘burbs, but it turns out to be a 66. (still not good, but better than i expected) I think it must be because there is a small grocery store near our house. Other addresses I tried that have a ton more places to eat & shop close had lower scores because they didn’t have a nearby grocery store. Just my theory…

Try it & let me know what you get.
