Dorknology

by wrinkler on January 20, 2010

On Sunday afternoon, sitting in a recliner with my new MacBook and my Blackberry, I figured out how to do two extremely cool things.

1. How to run a Windows operating system  and applications on my Mac, like so:

That’s a Mac dock on the left hand margin of the screen shot and Windows 7 in the workspace. This is so cool, I can hardly stand it. I’ve been hauling two laptops around forever, because I’m a Mac girl through and through, but my clients use Windows.

Then, as if that wasn’t dorknology enough, I ALSO figured out how to use Bluetooth to send files between my Blackberry and my Mac. I used to email stuff back and forth between computers, leading to massive email bloat. My business floated on an ocean of email flotsam and jetsam. Ha! No more.

Every once in a while, being a dork is its own reward.

This is very amazing stuff, but I expect nothing else from someone who identifies herself as a dorknologist.

Patte — I think it might be more than a bit.
Seestah — Score!, for making me laugh out loud. Dorknologist! Good one!
