Hooray for productivity! I finally got my workstation at home back to its nominal state today, after about 3 weeks of having an empty desk. The gang’s all here: HP TC1100 TabletPC running Windows XP on the left (back-from-the-dead too, I might add; I thought I’d never get this thing working again), 2nd-gen Macbook Pro in the center (notice the battle-damage all over the wrist area) and a big wonking Samsung 226BW panel on the right. There’s also an iPod Hi-Fi outside of the frame that has not been connected to an iPod for nearly 6 months, and is currently being used as an overpriced speaker system (it does make for a rather interesting centerpiece though, so I guess from an interior-design perspective, it has its uses).
In other news, I’m seeing Switchfoot(!) tomorrow at Araneta. I’ve been boning up on their 5-album 6-album (thanks, Larry) discography over the weekend, and I have to say, I’m really looking forward to it. Switchfoot’s live performances are supposed to be pretty good, and I’ve decided that instead of watching discopunk sellouts Fallout Boy later this month, I’d rather be waving my lighter to a bunch of god-fearing, Christian boys. Hey, if they were good enough for Mandy Moore, they should be good enough for me. (Check out this kickass AOL live session, for the newish synthesizer-enhanced Switchfoot sound. And this Yahoo!Music performance where they throw together an awkward cover of Beyonce’s "Crazy in Love.")
