Christmas is coming fast. Two full weeks off for me. Sweet. I've got my computer all upgraded and ready to go. New motherboard, RAM, Video Card, Processor, HD....pretty much everything except the actual box it went int. I must say, it's been awhile since I upgraded (probably 2 years) and it never ceases to amaze me the speed at which things are going now.

I was particularly impressed with my new Seagate Hard Drive -- which I designed...well one feature of it anyway, which is advertised prominently on the front of the box. It's called Native Command Queuing. I did a lot of work on that, and it was kind of cool to see it there on the product. It's noticeably faster booting Windows, and applications just pop up almost instantly. There were a few times when I thought the computer was reading my mind -- because I didn't even think I had even quite clicked the mouse yet, and there it was already open.

I'll probably do quite a bit of video editing and see how that goes. I imagine it will be awesome -- but you absolutely can't have too much power editing videos.
