TYH - Total Yoga High

This from my high school calculus teacher’s adult daughter.  I love it… it’s both brilliantly simple and reminds me of calculus. In a nice little cartoon-y package.

And I just can’t hide it.

Lalalala…

Moving on.

Last night, I bought my 5th Mac.

The new MacBook, 13″ aluminum unibody.

It’s pretty amazing.

And, just like the ones that came before it, I’m already in love with it. Like a lot.

But, unlike its predecessors, I got a deal on this one, thanks to Shev.

She passed along to me a little-known tidbit that if you bring in a competitor’s printed price for the same machine, they will match it in the store.

So I did a little Google searching for macbook deals, macbook discounts, and the like, and came across this on MacConnection.com:

Skeptical, but sure it couldn’t hurt, I printed it out and brought it right down to my local Apple store at the mall.

And what did I find?  They can match other stores’ prices, but only to a point.  So while the actual retail price of this machine is $1,599 (not $1,499 as noted above) they could mark it down to $1,449 for me, taking $150 off the retail price.

So, you ask, did I buy it?  Of course I did.  No rebate to mail in and I’m all for it.

I swapped the $150 in savings for an extra 2GB of RAM, had a little snack at Cheesecake Factory while I waited for them to put it in the machine, and off I went into the night, shiny new computer in hand.

Seriously… I’m so excited I could puke.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, someone who seems to be pretty damn excited herself:

Per Wikipedia:

Fundamental to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is the theory of psychological type as originally developed by C. G. Jung.^[1]:xiii Jung proposed the existence of two dichotomous pairs of cognitive functions:

• The “rational” (judging) functions: Thinking and Feeling
• The “irrational” (perceiving) functions: Sensing and Intuition
