I have to question my motives and obsessions daily. I’m the type of person that gets hyped up very easily and obsesses (un-healthily sometimes) over shiny expensive toys. My focus gets shifted and I lose sight of why I’m here and what I should be doing. I should be obsessing over God. I should be focusing solely on Him and placing the things of this world in their rightful places. Amen.

Delirious – ObsessionDelirious - The Cutting Edge
What can I do with my obsession?
With the things I cannot see
Is there madness in my being?
Is it wind that blows the trees?
Sometimes you’re further than the moon
Sometimes you’re closer than my skin
And you surround me like a winter fog
You’ve come and burned me with a kiss

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns

And I’m so filthy with my sin
I carry pride like a disease
You know I’m stubborn God and I’m longing
to be close
You burn me deeper than I know
I feel lonely without hope
I feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird

And my heart burns for you
And my heart burns for you

In these days of increasing technical prowess and know how, is Macintosh completely redifining the era of personal computers?

Take for example the relatively new line of Macbooks. Sleek, curvy, and built with the designer in mind. It also packs some huge firepower for a computer of its size!

  • 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • Up to 2GB memory
  • Up to 200GB hard drive
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
  • Slot-loading optical drive
  • Built-in AirPort Extreme
  • FireWire 400 and two USB 2.0 ports
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • Bluetooth 2.0+EDR

This computer has set a new standard of proficiency and excellence in the personal computer market! One of the largest kickers to me (as a novice Linux geek) is that Mac is now supporting the partitioning of hard drives in NTFS and reiserfs which allows for the installation of Windows and Linux! What other computer than a Mac can support up to three seperate operating systems?

Mac may be taking over the computer industry slowly and surely but there latest release, the Apple iphone, has taken the cellular world and turned it upside down. Save your pennies boys and girls…
