Almost a Gadget Geek

July 15, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I just bought a new Macbook to replace my 1-year old iBook G4. Mac softwares are hard to find and expensive! Good thing is there’s Torrent, hehe..

Installing:

  • Apperture
  • Adobe CS 2
  • Microsoft Office 2004
  • Visual Hub
  • Cross Over
  • Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash
  • Firefox and Thunderbird
  • Quicken
  • Stuffit
  • Toast Titanium
  • Flickr

No games for now. You play that much on a Mac and I can’t play that much either given my super busy schedule. It’s Sunday, and I’m working. Whew!img_4341.jpg

Phone Upgrade

n95

At last! I found the perfect phone – the Nokia N95. I’m not really into phones. I mean, I don’t like buying new phones but I feel like this phone is just made for me. Right now, I have an n80 which was given to me as a gift because my 2 year old phone was really worn out. I love my n80 especially the scratch-proof feature which makes it 90% scratch-free after almost 1 year in my possession, plus it has a sentimental value. Anyways, the feature that attracted me to n95 is its built-in GPS system. Imagine a voice regulated guide when you’re driving! Ain’t that cool?

There’s a cheap alternative to that voice guide though. You can buy a second-hand windows-based PDA with bluetooth and a GPS device. My cousin uses his O2 mini and a GPS device (about P5,000) to navigate his way around Manila. The thing is, I carry a lot of gadget with me every time – DSLR, laptop, card reader, chargers, etc. – so I prefer the n95 to lessen the baggage.
