Tips on starting over: a software genesis.

Hey guys (and gals)

im looking to start over again. ive had my PB for 2 years now and i feel like its time to wipe the thing clean and go for a fresh start. appart from backing everything up and reinstalling my apps, are there any tips you can give me for a clean and need procedure? any potential problems? Also, Merlin has talked before of NOT using the admin account as the main user account. is there any truth to this? this would be good to know before i go in with the knife (or maybe its more akin to that red glowy thing in MIB; "PB, please look into this metalic pen thing...BLAM!")

TOPICS: Mac OS X

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
