Interesting how much we are dependent on technology. Today marks my return to Maryland. My daughter and I have been vacationing in South Carolina for the past week. I’m a business owner, and a freelance writer so staying on top of my email is important even when I’m taking a break.

The funny thing is I wasn’t able to get access to the internet from the waterfront condo. I loaded up my 17″ MacBook Pro and traveled a mile away to a Wi-Fi hotspot and I was on. I was surprised (and relieved) that they had a hotspot that close. I vacation in a rural part of South Carolina at least twice yearly the majority of my correspondence requires an internet connection. I respond to clients, write articles, and am alerted when my customers and clients pay me online.

Not too much of my vacation was spent working. I actually took time to enjoy myself, rest, and have fun.

One thing I dislike about RPG’s is the repetition it takes to reach the next level as I play the game I’m always thinking about more than the images I’m seeing displayed on the screen m mind travels to the amount of code that is going on behind the pixels to make everything work so smoothly. Yeah I’m nuts.

Later this weekend I’m going to run a script on a selected game to avoid all that mind-numbing repetition, and now I’m not going to do it with WOW since I know you aren’t allowed to do it and yes they will give you the boot if they catch you; however, there are other games whose rules aren’t as strict as WOW, in that regards so it will give me a chance to play around with code.

I took my daughter to Chuck E Cheese’s this morning, and she asked me, “Mommy, are you going to bring your MacBook Pro?” I’ve taken it a few times; however, this time it stayed home but a few of my programming books along with my latest edition of Mac|Life magazine accompanied me.

My daughter is five years old and now is at that stage where she does not want mommy following her around as she plays games. She wants me to sit down and watch her play. You know how hard that is? I love games. I do think my daughter is going to be gamer just like her mom. She was racking up the points on the arcade games. The best of both worlds just like myself she loves her video games but she also loves being outdoors.

I have to admit I’m getting excited about the upcoming WWDC. I’ve been following the blogs, news sources very closely, checking out the “leaked iPhone photos” that are starting to crop up about the rumored device. This Monday I’ll be covering part of the event for one of the websites that I write for via live streaming. The editor has secured spots for us because it will fill very quickly.

I’m hoping that the iPhone 2 is finally made available to other carriers. I travel to a part of South Carolina where AT&T coverage really sucks. I use Verizon, if it weren’t for that I would have bought an iPhone a few months after it was released.

I’m looking forward to an updated MacBook Pro however I’m not planning on seeing a major update later this year. I’m a late switcher so won’t be making the leap to a new MacBook until a few months after it has been released.

It’s been quiet here on the Mac Diva I’m writing about Apple technology but I’m mainly writing for other. Currently I’ve been hired by three website and I write exclusively about Apple. Naturally I’m stoked since I’m passionate about Apple, Macs, and many of the products that Apple sells. I never seem to get tired of talking about it.

Earlier today I heard back from an online ezine. Technology; of course, more specifically Apple. A few weeks ago I had applied for a position. It’s another technology website and yes I’ll be writing about Apple related products. I’m looking forward to the opportunity. The first three posts are trial post. Although I enjoy writing for the other technology website I would like to have more variety and writing for this new website would definitely give me that opportunity. I’ve known about the website for several months.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about updating my MacBook Pro. I’m holding off until the major update, and then I’ll wait for a few more months. I’m not an early adaptor. I wait until the clean up the bugs before I’ll spend the money. My five-year old daughter keeps asking me when I’ll purchase a new MacBook Pro since she is eagerly looking to score my old one.

I’ll be actually sad to move onto a new computer, imagine that, but at least it isn’t going to far. My daughter, Aiyana, does most of her work on a HP dv6000t. Which she affectionately has christened “Zizzy”.
