What generation are you?

Traditionalist, born between 1925 and 1945
Baby-boomer, born between 1946 and 1964
Generation X, born between 1965 and 1981
Millennial, born between 1982 and 2000

And anyone boom after 2000 is living without a label.

Ok, I concede. Post 2000s generation is a generation with a label in flux. Their labels are Generation Z, iGeneration, iGen, and post-millennials. As for the years, there is no agreement on the exact dates of the generation with some sources starting it from the mid or late 1990s (note the overlap with Millennials) or from the mid 2000s (leaving the beginning 2000s unlabeled..poor lost generation).

What advice do you have for a new Macbook Pro owner?

Let’s say I went Full Jobs and dove head first into the Cult of Mac. As a programmer who develops web applications and wants to develop iOS and Android apps as well as play with many of the interesting APIs out in the wild, what you be your advice for programs to install, tweaks to apply, and other hacks that should be done to said hypothetical Macbook Pro?

Hump Day

My inner middle schooler likes the middle of the week. This time of year, the walk to my son’s bus stop is dark. Jupiter shines in the sky but clouds obscure other heavenly bodies. The muscadine grapes have ripened to perfection. I accidentally knock one to ground. Pity. The weather is beautiful yet a storm threatens. The distance rumble of clouds and chaos are apparent only to me for the storm that threatens is in my head. I fend it off by building a high pressure system of calm and positive thinking. The storm, a low pressure system, moves further into the distance; at bay, yet ever present, waiting for other systems to build. And Jupiter shines in the calm skies.
