Those who know me weren&rsquo;t surprised I bought one of the new machines – I buy most new Apple products – however, several of my friends asked me why I got the Air instead of the 13&quot; MacBook Pro or even the Mac Mini. At the time, the main reason was to give the retina MacBook Air form factor a try. I was hopeful that the fanless performance of the M1 chip would be comparable to the other machines, but even if it wasn&rsquo;t I didn&rsquo;t intend to do much on it that required sustained high performance.</p> <p>Wow have I been blown away.</p> https://joemc.xyz/posts/write/ Mon, 11 May 2020 00:00:00 -0600 https://joemc.xyz/posts/write/ <p>When I can’t sleep, I write. When I need to think, I write. When I need to cope, I write.</p> <p>Writing helps me in many aspects of my life. It slows down my thoughts to allow me to process information in a coherent way instead of thinking ten steps ahead and losing sight of the present.</p> https://joemc.xyz/posts/twenty-twenty/ Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0700 https://joemc.xyz/posts/twenty-twenty/ <p>2019 was a year of tremendous personal growth for me. As I look back on 2019 and back further over the last decade, I&rsquo;m amazed by the things I have accomplished, the people I&rsquo;ve had the good fortune of meeting, and the experiences I&rsquo;ve had.</p>
