Mac Mini

Bummed by a broken primary Windows box and needing a solid working machine, I impulse bought a Mac Mini. Can't say that I regret it. Works great for what it does, price was right, so very small and cute.

The iWork free trial and free printer worked well for producing my first invoices ever. I'm not sure invoices were ever meant to be as attractive as Pages made them.

Stationery

Got stationery from VistaPrint. Thought I was getting a good deal, but later found out that I could have gotten 25% off through uPromise. Next time.

In any case, letterhead, address labels, and business cards help provide the trappings and context of this consultant-programmer role I've transitioned to.
