Get your MacBook to sleep smart

Oh mirror, mirror, on the wall

I almost never shutdown my MacBook Pro, I always send it to sleep. Faster wake up time, this behaviour makes sense on a laptop. Only, it can take ages for the MacBook to actually go to sleep. Check how long it takes between the moment you close the lip, and the power led start pulsing. Ages.

Learning Aperture 1.5

DHL delivered my copy of Aperture 1.5 Beyond the Basics edited by Lynda.com early this morning. Can't wait to listen to Scott Bourne explain how to organise my photo workflow with Aperture. I love to listen to him, Leo,...

Words

Music
