I'm home for thanksgiving and so naturally decided to update the parents' MacBook Air to Yosemite. their broadband is so slow that it took 6 hours to download and install, including app updates and patches. and they don't seem to have the password to their time capsule, which makes makes me think it wouldn't be very useful in a recovery situation. time to reset that puppy and start over. overall it's all going better than expected.

i've thought about using that stuff on our fridge door, it has removable 1/4" panels and I could easily paint them up and then install them. what are your thoughts on it?

note that i dont care about the magnetic thing cause cats but im hot on the chalkboard paint.

it's ok. probably works better if u sand it really nice and smooth. i didn't but i might go back and do that at some point. still good for scribbling down like grocery things we need (this wall is right next to the fridge) or whatever. would recommend.

I've given up trying to de clutter my mothers 2013 retina MacBook Pro that she stupidly bought herself because the salesman told her that it was "good for photos".

the entire desktop is just icons on top of icons on top of icons and that's the way she likes it UH huh uh huh
