Blackboard Pro (23/05/08)

A Macbook Pro with blackboard paint on the lid. This is so stupid it hurts.

And for ages I’ve been trying to make my Mac more useful for taking notes / to dos. The problem is, that whenever you remember something to do you have to switch it on, power it up, find the application, and then the moment’s gone. And I can never find my notebook when I want it.

Here’s an idea, use a pen and paper if it’s so hard to switch on and power up your computer. There’s a reason schools switched from blackboards to whiteboards — blackboards suck. Do you really want to carry around messy chalk and an eraser? And if he can’t find his notebook when he wants it, why doesn’t he keep it with the computer which he can evidently always find. Argh, this is so stupid!
