Visiting T's mom in San Diego. Earlier today, T installed a wireless router, so I am Internet-enabled on my own computer, which is pretty awesome. Makes a nice change from past visits, where I was stuck on either my phone or her Windows box. Also, can I just wax poetic for a minute about how much easier it is to travel with my new Air than when I was lugging my old MacBook around? It's just not even worth comparing them.

On the downside, I have a cold and therefore zero energy. Stupid cold, ruining my getaway weekend. Although I suppose at least it provides me a good excuse to keep things low key.

Someday, when neither of us are sick or harried, I would love to bump into you for lunch.

I nearly headed down to San Diego today to watch Kershaw's #21, but was lame and stayed home.

Get better.

Thanks! And definitely, we should connect sometime. You're in the OC, if I recall?

I'm given the impression that MacBooks are pretty light, though it might be because I got fooled by their laptop design. Or at least like lugging a netbook around.

But I can easily imagine the Air being lighter than a netbook.... and being better all around.

I'd say most MacBooks are medium-weight -- my old MacBook was just under 5 lbs, and T's new Pro is about the same. The 11" Air is less than 2.5 lbs, and that weight difference is *huge*, in terms of how easy it is to carry around. I wasn't expecting that, but it is.
