I now have, at work, a desk which can be raised and lowered at the touch of a button. I have for a long while been curious about the affects of standing instead of sitting, while I work, and now I get to explore them. Thus far I like it, though with the notable caveat… Read more
I’m a bit behind the times, I guess, having only updated iLife to ’09 last week. I finally sat down today to try out this new-fangled ‘Faces’ thing.
