Many, many non-iSight iMac G5s died after having capacitors on their logic board fail like these little guys. This machine joined their ranks today, after getting dropped off at our shop for repair.

I had to replace the unibody on a MacBook Pro yesterday, which requires taking everything in the notebook apart and moving it into the new case. Two hours later, it was like new.

My new 24-inch iMac (a replacement from Apple for my dead 20-inch model) arrived today. Here, the new keyboard sits next to my Apple Extended II keyboard, which I will continue to use daily. The iPhone 3G and Apple remote are present for reference.

Today is the start of a new year. 2009 will be difficult, without a doubt. A new President will take office. The economic collapse will continue to effect people across the world. Our son will have his first birthday in November. Personally, I have several goals for 2009, which I’m sure will filter into Project 365: 2009. [001/365; 01/01/2009]

Hackett http://forkbombr.net/?p=694 Last night, I took the last daily photo for 2008. The project was harder than I thought it would be, but very rewarding. Here’s a slideshow of 2008:

Hackett http://forkbombr.net/?p=354 Today is day 321 of my Project 365. As the year winds down, it is becoming harder to find photographs that capture the day. But today was not one of those days. I had to go to campus and take some photos for class and came back with one I am very happy with:
