What's one thing you regret not doing?
Submitted by Mr. Nice.Two things, actually. I regret not figuring out earlier and pursuing the Graphic Design career route. I also regret not studying abroad while in college. These things may not have drastically changed my life at this point, but I shouldn't have ruled them out as impossible.
I can't believe I won the ThisNext Holiday Decor contest I posted about earlier! CRAZY!
Finish this sentence: "What in the world was I thinking when I...?"

ThisNext is having a Holiday-decorating-list contest this week. My entry, Deck[orate] the Halls! contains "Fantasically whimsical and modernist Christmas decor!" So take a look and mark my picks as Smart/Funny/Useful (or not) to give me an idea of how I'm doing so far. Enjoy!
Also of note, the ThisNext team has been really encouraging and has even been pimping some of my picks in their Blog -- all kinds of crazy and cool! Here's the latest mention on Pretty. Grainy. Woodsy., one on Holiday Party Outfit and one referencing my blog entry about their wonderful site!Windows, Mac, Linux - What's your preference and why?

Overall, I have to say that I am in love with OS X Tiger. It's so beautiful and accessible in comparison to Windows XP, that when I go to use my PC, it's just depressing. However, functionally I go both ways. There was a time when I was geeky enough to explore the Linux front, but since OS X is built on a UNIX foundation, there's always the option to do some command line tricks. Currently I have a MacBook and Windows XP desktop PC at home and a G5 Mac at work.
As a designer, my aethetic will hands down lean towards the hardware and OS design of Apple/Mac. I don't think I have to mention security/virus-free issues (even though I've never had one on Windows because I'm always on top of that shit), because even if you're not a control-freak, security-obsessed geek you can trust that OS X has got your back. However, I do have yet to find 100% replacement software to accomplish on a Mac everything I do on the PC (such as browse/download newsgroup binaries, rip DVDs, and do niche audio stuff.) These tasks aren't major, I may do them once a week or every two weeks, or barely at all. And it likely just requires a little investigating on my part, but until I officially replace that PC with a Mac, I am just too lazy.
Let it be known, that it is my full intention to eventually weed that PC out when I have the funds (or no other option but) to do so.
(I just put a request in for a new Mac Pro at work to replace the G5. Will Christmas come early this year?)
