Long time lurker, time to post

I figured it was time to post my modest setup(s). My first :apple: product was my iPhone 3G, and I've been hooked ever since. I've actually given my PCs to my parents and picked up a late 2007 Mac Mini. I don't use it much, my iPhone 4 and iPad usually fit my needs at home.

Picture 1: Old setup at my previous apartment. Ikea desk.

Picture 3. Everyday setup, just the iPad, and my coffee :)

Late 2007 Mac Mini
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Apple Magic Mouse
Envision 19" LCD
iPad 32gb Wifi

Hoping to add more :apple: products soon, starting with the iPad 3.

Eh? Perhaps we will see eachother on our way to tim hortons when we walk our pet beavers and polar bears! :D:D:D

Yup, by the way what is the square footage of your igloo? oh and did you see rudolph at the frozen pond where we play hockey? :D
 
Need some cable cleanup, but finally got the TV mounted and the desktop the way I want it.

Thanks! What's a good (free) host to use around here?
I use Cloud app, it allows you to drop an image over its icon in the menu bar to upload it. You can then paste the link it puts on the clipboard in to your browser, then copy the direct link to the image (on that page) and paste that within IMG tags on MR.

EDIT: It is free.

Thank you! Trying out Tapatalk on the iPad. We'll see how it goes.

My igloo is quite large.. We call it the Iggmansion! it is 107 square feet (or should I say 10 meters :p ) I obviously saw Rudolph he and wayne Gretzky signed my Baguette!

Do you want to go to the forest (our backyards) and collect some sap from some trees, then boil it and have maple syrup with Pancakes together tomorrow by the frozen lake while we go ice fishing?

  • oh and by the way I saw your old setup pics and I was just wondering what school you go to in TDSB? (I saw your ribbons and your crests) I have one ribbon as well
 
I traded out the Vaio for a nice new laptop :D It's a welcome change of scenery!

I don't normally use default desktop wallpaper, but I haven't had time to fix that yet ;)
 
Yea that's an M305, I've pondered trading it for an anywhere mx because I really like small mice, but the M305 has been really good.

I was really skeptical about the MBA's performance as I wanted a 15" MBP, but so far no regrets! It stays totally quiet (and hardly even gets warm) when playing the games I play (like Dofus, which in theory SHOULD be a lightweight game but it seems to eat at almost every computer I use it on!) For almost everything else, the SSD makes up for not having a quadcore.

In fact, I don't think I ever really needed a quadcore anyway. Having hours and hours of battery life is worth the dual ^_^

Interestingly...
I also got a 2011 macbook air and a logitech M30G mouse... Great minds thing alike eh?
Anyway; I also had concerns but with hyperthreading and the SSD this things screams.
I just got an external hard drive for my tv show and movies :)
 
First setup post.

^ I like the way his hallway enters the room at a 45 degree angle. :D One time when I took an architecture class my teacher gave us this insane list of requirements around designing a house, and I was the only person that managed to pull it off. Wanna know how? I basically put half the rooms on 45 degree angles. We both agreed it'd look REALLY cool if it was real.
 
nobody ****s with the jesus:cool:

You said it man.

Thanks! I really dig this house I should post some more pics.

The whole thing is wide open and allows me to really enjoy the space.
