My new Karuna Vihar calendar arrived last week.
I meant to mention it here but things got hectic around here.
My son, a high school senior, has us busy doing paperwork, applying for colleges so that means we are getting our taxes done early for a change.
I was so pleasantly surprised when the very large envelope turned out not to be from Uncle Sam but the calendar from Karuna Vihar. Continue reading Karuna Vihar Calendar 2014

None of its interior parts are user replaceable.
Not the RAM, the hard drive or the battery.
Understandably this change makes many longtime Mac users a little nervous.
If there’s ever a problem, it has to go back to Apple for repair.

This is no longer an option with the shift to all the partsbeing soldered to the motherboard.
Only time will tell if I change my tune.
If you happen to live in New Jersey, try not to lose that drivers license especially if you happen to love how your current picture looks.

That’s really a shame that we may have to cave into practicality.
Why is this a big deal?
I don’t generally shoot landscapes but I love exploring familiar places early in the morning and late in the evenings before the sun goes down.
Everything looks very different.
That’s why every chance I get, I always try to drive through a park near where I live.
At that hour, the place is silent except when the fauna, coots, ducks and geese fight over scraps.
