Does anyone else find it odd that a gallon of milk has 817 reviews on Amazon.com? Maybe it’s just me…

This is the best post I have seen in a while. As a musician, I TOTALLY agree with what he says. Too bad my dang music page is down right now, or I could provide examples. Anyways, here is one reason, followed by a link to the rest:

“Macs just work.

A musician wants to plug his guitar into an amp and know that he’ll be playing music right away. In a similar way, I don’t think twice about it when I plug a new device into my Mac. Within seconds my iBook recognizes it and my thought process isn’t interrupted with requests to install the right drivers. I don’t need to know how the computer is using the device, I just know that it is.

One click installs are appealing for musicians. If I need to install an application, all I have to do is drag and drop the icon into my applications folder. It’s that simple. I’m not asked to restart my computer, and a few seconds later the program is running. It works seamlessly and my Attention Deficit Disorder doesn’t have time to distract me.

I use my Mac for everything… recording bands in my home studio using Pro Tools, creating sounds and loops in Propellerhead’s Reason, writing articles for my website, designing graphics, organizing digital photos of my four month old daughter in iPhoto, and listening to a new band that I’m blogging about. I’m hard on my computer, yet I only need to reboot it on a weekly or sometimes monthly basis.”

You might have seen some of the videos on YouTube where people take a picture of themselves every day for several years, then make a video of it to show how they have physically changed. Well, here is a spoof of those, and it’s really funny. Enjoy!

I have to say that this would scare the crap out of me also.
