I thought I’d seen everything I could see on a T-shirt, but you really have to see these.

I finally installed Leopard on my Macbook Pro (2.16GHz model). This time, instead of erasing my hard drive, I used the “archive and install” method. I’m pleased to report that everything went flawlessly. No hiccups, no weirdness – nada. Everything just worked.

Leopard’s given the MBP a swift kick in the pants – the machine runs like a true champ now. I’ve customized Spaces (virtual desktops) the way I like it. I verified that my key academic apps work – most importantly, my grading software – and all apps I tested ran well.

Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised with the ease of the entire OS upgrade process.

Wishing all of my US readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll be relaxing – catching up on some ‘tooning and spending time with the family.

I happened to discover a really nice weekly podcast by Ben Collins the other day and wanted to give it a little plug. If you’re looking to learn more about Hindu mythology and the Vedic tradition, you should definitely give Ben’s podcast a listen. Ben does an excellent job telling the stories from Hinduism and juxtaposing the stories with appropriate Sanskrit shlokas. I particularly enjoyed Ben’s lecture on the anatomy of a puja. I’ve participated in many a puja but never really known the full significance of the steps involved.

You can subscribe to Ben’s podcast via iTunes. Highly recommended.
