It’s been a tough week not only because I had 4 days of teaching workshops but more because my Macbook Air stopped working Monday morning.  It’s covered under warranty but It’s been in the shop all week getting fixed.  I’ve managed to get by using my old laptop and thankfully I have all my documents on dropbox.  This week I have come to realize how dependent and addicted I am to computers. How about you?
