As a PC-slash-Mac user - with a dual laptop setup at home - I'm always debating what parts of my digital life belong where. My extensive iTunes library, for example, resides on the PC, simply because that's where I ripped all the CDs in my B.A. (Before Apple) days. In the past week, however, I've begun using the Music Store (through the magic of pre-paid cards and US IP addresses), and since the Mac accompanied me on my pan-West Coast trip, those tracks reside on the PowerBook - as well as on my new 1GB iPod shuffle, which syncs with its 12" cousin, while the iPod mini syncs with the Dell.

See how this gets confusing?

About a week ago, I purchased iLife '05, mostly because of the new iPhoto upgrade. The plan was to transfer all my digital photos from the PC to the Mac. Just to confuse matters even more, however, I discovered a fantastic application today - Picasa 2 - which might very well have iPhoto beat. Of course, Picasa is only available for the PC. And once I start power-using either of the two applications, it'll be hard to go back.

I guess there's something to be said for sticking with one platform.

I'm starting to recover from the inevitable jet lag, and next week will hopefully be a pretty normal, albeit intense, week. We have a scant three weeks until our next major milestone, and this is a biggie. By March 4th, we need the first few chapters of Dreamfall polished and ready for prime time. Everything needs to look smart: scenery, characters, animations, special effects, GUI, sound, music - everything. Scary. But I'm confident we'll hit our target and blow minds.  ¶ 14:37
