What is RSS?

Guess what I'll be banging on about here? You guessed it - all my Mac stuff. Now, I hear you. You're saying that there are plenty of people covering the Mac scene and that another one doing the same thing is just boring.

That's where I'll be different. I'll be sharing the stuff I learn and use. I won't be just rehashing the latest press releases. To be honest, that sort of "me too" reporting isn't fun and doesn't really add a lot of value to the world.

My aim is to add value to your Mac life.

The MacBook Pro SD Slot

The new MacBook Pros, released in June, are the first Macs to ship with a SD slot. Although the slot is ostensibly for making it easy to get photos from your camera to iPhoto, it's also a bootable drive. You can install OS X to an SD card (32GB cards sell for around $130AUD). That makes it part of a viable backup and system recovery strategy.

With a pair of 32GB cards most of us could have a bootable disk with a core set of applications (including SuperDuper for rebuilding a broken system) and a backup of key data (maintained with Time Machine).
