new MacBook Air for design? Jun 13, 13, 9:03 a.m.

In the market for a new laptop. Last one was my PowerBook from 2000. I am really loving the portability factor of the MacBook Air and I would be running CS6 on it (possibly from an external WD Passport 2 TB hard drive). Mainly would use Adobe Illustrator for illustration, logos, icons, infographics and Web skins and InDesign for print when away from the studio.

Has anyone used an Air for design work? If so, do you love it or wish you had gotten the MacBook Pro? I've found one article from a year ago and the designer said it runs well with CS5 or CS6 and now with the new upgraded processor think it would be fine. Trying to figure out if the 1.5 ghz versus 2.5 ghz is a big difference. Looking at the 256 flash drive and upgrading to 8gb of memory. Any insight would be appreciated. Maybe I'll be writing an article about this soon.

Twitter API 1.1... Jun 13, 13, 8:08 a.m.

Hello boys (and girl).

I had some pretty solid RSS/Atom feeds kickin' around various sites until the past few days when Twitter's 1.0 API became deprecated...

: (

I've read through their updated API:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api…

BUT, I've yet to be able to come up with a simple feed alternative; any of you cats made the transition smoothly?

I know this is an attempt to keep control of Twitter's usage on blogs, sites, etc. but I'm hoping their is a quick and/or simple solution to persist with my feeds...

Much love...

: )

Chicks in Design? Jun 12, 13, 5:18 p.m.

Art schools are about 70% female and that includes design classes. Any class I ever took had mostly chicks in it.

So why does it seem most of the design world is male? Why is this board ~99% dudes?

You'd think it would be at least 50/50?????????????

Do you guys ever send out questionnaires to new clients (or old) after finishing up a job?

I am drafting up something and could share it here when it's complete.

Would like to know where I could improve, and "serve" them better as a designer, especially if there's a continued theme in response.

Data Recovery? Jun 12, 13, 10:18 a.m.

For some reason, all of a sudden my iMac cannot find my HD.

I brought it to the Apple store and they said it needs to be replaced. They don't do data recovery either.

There's quite a bit of info on there I would like to save and want to get my computer back.

How much should I expect to spend with data recovery and new drive elsewhere?

Apple said it was $230 to only replace the drive in store.

Fuji x100 / x100s / xpro1 Jun 12, 13, 7:49 a.m.

I am thinking about buying a smaller camera for travel, to avoid carrying my big Canon around all the time.

I have been looking at these three Fuji models.
Anyone have any experiences good or bad with any of these models or have something similar in quality and size that you would recommend instead? I am leaning more towards the x100s mainly due to the size and weight difference between it and the xpro..

thanks
