New Mac on the way and Fuck you Best Buy
So some time today my new Mac should be here. My 2009 iMac is getting a little long in the tooth. I actually think Yosemite sped it up a bit, but it’s still pretty slow.
I’m upgrading to a Mac Mini. I wish they were a little more powerful, but I guess it’ll be good enough for me. A Mini just fits better with my other computers at my desk.
My plan was actually to get it on Friday so I would have the weekend to get it setup. I checked the Best Buy website and it said they had them in stock. So I went to pick one up along with an ssd drive that I am going to setup as the boot drive. The guy at Best Buy said they only had the old ones. Yeah, it’s 2014, I’m not buying a computer built in 2012. Are they trying to get rid of old stock to people that don’t know any better?
Fuck Best Buy!
I put the ssd drive back and went home and ordered everything I needed. So much easier. I don’t know why I even bothered to try to buy anything local. It’s such a hassle.
I’ve always hated Best Buy, but I thought maybe they had gotten better. Their prices are actually comparable to online finally, but it’ll still be a while before I shop there again. The online experience is just so much better.

Finally finished The Martian
Sometimes it takes me a while to finish a book because I’m not that into it, other times it takes me a while because I don’t want it to end. The later refers to The Martian. It’s a great book that I could have read it a few hours, but I milked it because I didn’t want it to end. It’s easily the best book I’ve read in at least five years.I’m looking forward to the movie despite it having no chance at being half as good as the book.
Go read it now!
