Notes from The Rock and Roll Preacher: Fastest ever!

Fastest ever!

Yesterday, I ordered a 4GB RAM kit for my MacBook Pro. I placed the order with NCIX.com (I'm a first-time customer). My order went through about 4:30 in the afternoon. NCIX said it would take 1-2 days for processing and 1-4 days for delivery. Standard fare for Canada.

So ... I was totally shocked when my RAM arrived today at 1:00 p.m. Amazing. Even more amazing: as I was driving away from the house, the Purolator driver recognized me, waved me down, and delivered the package to my car. Wow.

Tonight, I'm playing with the Royal Unruh Band at the Caboto Centre on Wilkes Ave. My friend, Tim Thiessen, is turning 50 today. He doesn't look a day over 69.

After the gig, I'm doing a RAM swap. A new 4GB setup for the MacBook Pro. The old 2GB setup (2 x 1GB) moves over to the iMac.

More speed is what I need.

Or ... maybe not.

Stay tuned for a post on David Allen's Getting Things Done. I've been a Stephen Covey disciple for years. Allen's "getting things done" (GTD) brings some missing ingredients to the mix. Maybe GTD can help my OCD!

Hard Rubber (HNIC Anthem)

Nothing will ever replace the old Hockey Night in Canada theme song, but I felt it was my patriotic duty to enter Hard Rubber into CBC's anthem challenge. Press the play button (above) or check out Hard Rubber being featured on Larry Updike's morning show on CJOB!
