Fremont Solstice Parade 2006
After running some errands this morning, Kim and I grabbed some breakfast at The Dish, an always-busy Fremont eatery. Today was the first day of the Fremont Fair, so there were a lot of people about.

More MacBook Benchmarks
David Nagel at Creative Mac throws Final Cut Studio 5.1 at the MacBook and finds it… surprisingly capable! Motion didn’t fare as well due to the integrated graphics processor of the MacBook, but it fared well consideirng that Apple says the whole suite is flat-out not supported—that’s no doubt to minimize expectations. Although you can’t ...
