We're torn between getting a mini mac or another quad core pc, both are powerful machines and capable for our architectural programs. One big factor is the price, we all know how pricey mac units can be whereas my husband assembles computers as his hobby. That alone is big savings right there and he can even make it with the best components inside. Having said this you can tell we have more advantage with a pc, but why think twice?
Well, there's a certain versatility of mac when it comes to client impression here. We know that it's not about showing off in order for you to sell your service, expertise is highly regarded above all. Though admit it sometimes impression can sell you more. With this kind of business, being on top of the game is a must. But again that's not all to consider. We're also after the convenience of having out platform open to the tech market, mac on the other hand is more restricted with everything. You can find things like
video converter for mac (like
ipad video converter),
dvd ripper for mac, etc. but that won't be enough to convince us to get one.
To buy something is so easy but to find the right buy for your needs sometimes needs more thought and not just plain impulse. Bigger purchase like this must be weighed with the pros and cons, it will be your work partner so it has to be the best for your use. Just like us being torn with the two, we won't rush so not to have any regrets later on.

...Milu with our little boy...
It's tax time once again and we're proud to say that we've already accomplished our tax deals. Last year was pretty rough with us having to pay instead of having some returns. It's understandable since we're just rolling out our home office for the first tax year. This year on the other hand, we're having some returns. It feels good because we can tell also that our business has improved from previous year. As usual we do our taxes in San Francisco through Milu's Tax.
There are other means of preparing taxes, some people can even do it on their own through online tax kits. Community libraries also offer free tax help, it is conducted on a yearly basis. There are also many offices which conduct tax preparation services but of course it's not free.These offices use the expertise of an
enrolled agent who has taken and passed the
ea exam in order to be able to work on tax preparations in a higher level.
We prefer to go to Milu since we get the personal kind of service, all that's needed is an appointment and we're set for the date. She knows all our tax deals which makes it easier for us for the business. Over the convenience of doing it ourselves here at home online or in nearby tax offices, going all the way to San Francisco is far more favorable for us. We normally would go to a special place to complete our outing for the day and that alone is a bonus already.

Finding the time to work right infront of the computer is hard when you have a baby. Everything has to be by the baby's schedule. You can only do as much things whenever the baby is resting or playing on his own. Having a laptop is quite an advantage if you want to do something online or any other works as compared to desktop. You can be mobile with the laptop and can actually work wherever the baby wants to stay. That's something you really can't do with the desktop as you are compromised with using it wherever it is located.
Laptops are valuable and expensive piece of electronic that's why proper care must be exercised when using one. Proper
laptop storage is a must to avoid the kids from getting it or damaging it. Some kids most especially the young ones can be so grabby at times wanting to reach everything, one nasty fall is all it takes to break a laptop apart. Little fiddler would always want to touch and press buttons and worse when they want to use their little feet to do it, they simply love to stand and step on anything! Having a
laptop cart can save your laptop from such abuse.
Laptop carts have special storage designed to keep laptops in for safekeeping. This way you wouldn't have to worry about the curious little monkeys at home wanting to play with your precious gadget.

One of my oldest blog, The Real Paying Online Surveys was all of sudden removed in blogger and without any notice I was clueless. I panicked after trying to retrieve it several times and all I got was an email stating it's a spam blog. Oh dear, I was so furious because I put a lot of effort and work on that blog. That was actually created as my first attempt in blogging. I was hoping to share some money earning tips for those who rely on online resources and having it deleted from blogger truly saddened me. Hubs told me it was a robot thing routine checking blogs and that he has appealed to have it back. It took awhile but it was eventually restored.
Imagine your blog being deleted all of a sudden and there's no warning or whatsoever before you even know it, it's gone! This happening made us think how we can prevent such thing from happening again. It felt terrible so it was an eye opener for us to consider
web hosting. It would be best for us to have our own domains and our sites hosted. This way we wouldn't be worrying about losing it anymore. Though everything is still in black and white, we are not cleaning our slate about the idea. Hubs is still checking
webhosting options, once he gets to nail down his choice then we're off to our goal. I honestly don't know much about those hosting stuffs so I'm leaving hubs the decision and final say on it.
